I think the standard rear diff that pairs with the 2.5 motor is a LSD in the Crosstrek and Impresa.

I’m not a Subie guy, but my impression from posters here is that there’s a mixture of Subie 5 speeds and modified (for Subie engine) VW 4 speeds. You might want to call Greg at Vintage. AFAIK, he has Rancho build him a specially-geared VW trans to optimize the Subie powerband. Also just an assumption, but I think VW trans are easier to deal with, installation-wise.

I’m sure @DannyP will weigh in soon. I think he has as much experience with both as anyone here.
