I have the majority of the parts to do an automatic to manual swap in my 95 legacy EJ22. One thing I know I need yet is the rear diff. I don't have much experience with transmissions. I know that the center different can be replaced. My question is simple. Can I swap the 4:11 center diff out of my auto with the 3:9 in the manual and not need to swap my rear?

No. The center diff is only to control torque split f/r. Doesnt effect final drive ratio. Plus autos are electronic controlled and manuals are mechanical. Unless it has dccd. You will need to match both tran and rear diff final drive ratios

That's what I thought. Just wanted to make sure. Even if it would swap it would probably be easier to just swap out my rear
