Evo X rear diff: MR and GSR

As title stated, I'm looking for a rear diff replacement for my evo x gsr. There are some listing diff that said SST. GSR doesn't come with SST so are the MR rear diff different than GSR? Or they are all the same. I dont want to order one and its not the right one for me model.

My rear 15 GSR diff went belly up so I was going to rebuild it but instead I got lucky and sourced a used one from a MR with only 12k miles. I talked to Mitsubishi dealership service shop and they informed that it would bolt up but the gear ratio would be different and would have to be changed. So I found a used GSR diff with 18k miles and had no issues since its been mounted. I hope this info helps.

I don't see how the Rear Differential would change the gear ratio since that is mechanically set by the Final Drive gear in the transmission.

I hear ya. Makes sense. I just went off what the service tech said. I didn’t want to take any chances even though it would have still worked.

Correct, rear differentials are the same between GSR and MR.
