Just know what you are putting in there. I had a SW once that burned up the RE due to my accidental negligence.....out of oil.

I went to the junk yard and found a RE and figured it would work. Was pretty young at the time and not that moxy.

I installed it and I had the longest 2nd gear runout you ever saw but no low end torque to speak of. Apparently it was from an automatic transmission equipped vehicle and it had something like a 2.83:1 when I needed more like a 3.75ish ratio. My SW was stick shift.
