The gear ratios on the 2g DSM rear differential is different from automatic cars to manual trans cars. The gear ratio in the automatic rear diff is the same ratio as the EVO8, so thats the one you need. The manual one is a different ratio and wont work properly, the front wheels and rear wheels would be spinning at different speeds, you would end up breaking parts and the car would drive like crap.

Yes. I actually have both as well. I have all the AWD swap parts sitting in a shed, but I want to see what the car will do FWD with slicks first.
