just want to make a post to clarify something that is missing from these forums.
for DSM cars the 5 speed AWD had 3.54 and A/T cars had a 3.3 rear.
its a little different for the wagons.
there were two engines mated to AWD wagons. 1.8L and 2.4L
so there are actually three different rear end ratios.
1.8 AWD 5speed had a 3.9 rear end.
1.8 AWD A/T had a 3.54 rear end.
2.4 AWD 5 speed has a 3.54 rear end.
2.4 AWD A/T had the 3.3 rear end.
I confirmed this info with ring and pinion part numbers and replacemnt transmissions. whats cool about this is if someone wanted to build a quick around town AWD AUTO car you can use the ring and pinion form the 1.8 AWD A/T trans and install it in the turbo trans and use the 3.54 rear end. So if anyone happens to have an auto AWD trans that had the 3.54 rear end i would like to find one so i can use the ring and pinion from it. this coolness also applies to the 5 speed cars. i daily drive an evo 1 with the 3.9 rear. I have never been tempted to swap to USA 3.54 parts. if i was going to build a 5speed wagon i would most certainly use the 3.9 rear and evo 1-3 transmission.
I was getting the impression everyone thinks if their car is AWD it must have the 2.4. when some have actually had the 1.8L. the engines look the same.
