dihatsu Scat?
Have you tried some east coast wreckers? I helped a mate do one up years ago. There were plenty of spares available in brisbane

So would it be possible to get these guys to make a new transfer case gearset for an outback? To give it a better low range gearing.
Just curious - that seems to be one of the problems with the newer subarus.

Thalass, check out
Alpine Raven's Low Range EJ gearbox write up. You should beable to do this with your outback without too much trouble if you really want a decent low range.

Yes they can make any gear set you like , I had one done for a two wheel drive auto last year & it was easy

I'm mostly just curious, as I'm not going to spend a huge amount on the outback now. But it is good to know. I may be in need of a custom gearbox or two at some stage.
I suppose it'd be pricey, though. :P

i was quoted $1200 for 2 very simple very basic cogs.
i decided not to get it done....lol.....i cant justify that much on what i was doing
but for a car like yours it may be worth it? i dont know

not at all..i have access to a whole machining shop
need a slotting machine, grove turning machine and all sorts.
otherwise i would have made my own. gears require specialised machines
