Man i just watched this 3 times and shit i feel like i can do the diff my self after seeing this video. Great work on showing what needs to come off to move things around. I been looking for something like this for a while.

[@Maty1t]

This is great video. Thank you so much. Just sent my 8/9 Diff to Shep, and will certainly need this video when it comes back. A+ man.

[@michaelgettle1977]

Thank you 👍

@@michaelgettle1977 Did you have to bleed the AYC/ACD pump after loosing fluid and looping the line? Or did you just refill and call it a day?

[@michaelgettle1977]

@@Maty1t I just looped it and called it a day but my pump is also fried. I don’t believe you would have to bleed the ayc but I could be wrong

This is the video I've been painfully looking for! Thank you for the info. I'm building a Rally car with a Volkswagen and it's getting Evo X everything for the most part. Been trying to find valid info on the rear diff swap as the AYC really hurts when rallying. Appreciate it.

[@michaelgettle1977]

Sure thing! Glad I could help. Good luck with the build it sounds very interesting 👍

@Felipe Francisco thanks for info will do the same

@Giovanni Jerome thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

Cool ur from Wisconsin!!! Thinking about doing this

[@michaelgettle1977]

I’m in Florida now lol but I highly recommend doing the swap

[@johnryan8985]

Your guides are great. What state are you in?

Would regular ralliart axles work with this swap?

[@michaelgettle1977]

Yes

[@MrPrince2289]

What's the reason of getting rid or the 10 ayc diff. I thought you would want that instead of the 9 without it?

[@michaelgettle1977]

Main reason is my pump went out awhile ago and I had a evo 8 that I parted out and kept the diff. Plus the non acd diffs are stronger

[@gsrkiller2306]

then this differential is from evo 8 no ayc? How do you do with the system and the traction for example the pump turns off and my car goes very bad in the snow. Do you think that if I do this I can eliminate the ayc pump and my evo will be better?

[@IM4UCKEDUP]

No more Evo x videos?

[@michaelgettle1977]

For now no I’m focusing on my evo customers. Hoping to pick back up on the car again since my move

[@quhack7389]

Where did you get the back plate and rear subframe mount ?

[@michaelgettle1977]

I believe stmtuned

[@Gchris033]

For the looping of the AYC hose do I have to worry about any codes popping up? Or say if the pump randomly fails will it be fine that I no longer need the pump for the 8/9 diff?

[@michaelgettle1977]

That’s why we loop the hoses that way it keeps it from getting codes. Now if the pump fails all together you will have codes no matter what. The pump on evo x controls both transfer case and rear diff.

[@Gchris033]

@@michaelgettle1977 ohhh okay makes scenes I thought looping it was automatically cutting it out of everything. Thanks man!

[@michaelgettle1977]

@@Gchris033 nope just the rear diff and No problem 👍
