RS transmission in an ST???

10017 Views 12 Replies 8 Participants Last post by  bigmiketino
So I would like to have an upgraded transmission. Will the RS transmission work with an ST? From everything I have read they are the same, the RS is just a beefier version. I would like to order the Mountune Stage 1 RS transmission and put it in my ST if I can. Any help is appreciated.

If your trying to get the AWD you will need to do alot. The back of the car is different to accommodate the rear diff.

Most likely have to remove PTO part that send power to the back.. that's assuming rest of bellhousing is the same.

That's not what I said. I do not want to do that at all.

That's what I was thinking. However I can not find any details or images of the Rs Transmission on the car. This is the image of the Mountune RS transmission and it looks identical the the ST transmission. I think the part that sends power to the back is actually a separate unit but I am not sure.

That's the first thing I did! Haha. Still waiting on a response. If someone doesn't know the answer before them I will let everyone know what they say.

I have a feeling it will work; most all wheel drive cars use some sort of transfer case to divert power to the 2nd set of wheels.

My misunderstanding.

Did anyone ever find any answers on this?
Has anyone moved foward with this idea?

looks like the ST uses a longer axle and the rs is shorter because of the PTU but they look identical.
