Looks like your running the motor in the raised position like mine, if so the does the stiffy truss bar clear the clutch slave cylinder?

I'll go look at mine, i have it apart to put in a STI torque biasing diff.

I think i used the thrust bearing in the stock location at the pinion end, hard to tell. might want to ask on the https://www.facebook.com/groups/subaruvolkswagens/

I'm useing a old TJ FAB bar and it just fit.

looks like you do have the thrust washer installed on the pinion side.

tomorrow i will assemble the same way you have yours and see how it looks.

I am installing a helical sti diff in mine. i still gotta get it machined hopefully i can take care of that tomorrow.

cool post pic of the diff if you could. thanks

heres the pic of the diff

I had the same issue and just drilled new holes for the horizontal bar further back. I also had to weld the tabs for the frame horn bolts to the sides of my engine mount. Doing that makes it a bit complicated to install but I needed the clearance.

Nice thanks for the info.

Did it work for you?

I didnt reassemble it. I talked to todd about swapping to the high powered ring and pinion.

Now i am waiting for the other ring and pinion to get here.

She really does fly. No runs yet. I need to build a cage and stop breaking things. I broke a transmission mounting bolt and I'm pretty sure that caused the shift rod to smack the torsion tube and crack the nose. And my clutch is slipping. I'll be pulling the engine for the 5th time this winter...
