Default Unwanted rwd classic

Hello guys
I haven't been here for a while, but I recently bought a classic impreza again and realised that is a rwd only.
Can you please post your suggestions, because the car drives well with no bangs or struggle with a gear changes except only rear wheels are pulling.
I try to attach a video file so you can see.
Thanks a lot for your help

from what ive read you modify the centre diff and remove the plates etc that send power to the front wheels. im sure someone with better knowledge will fill in the bits ive missed but i think thats the basic version of how to do it.

An excuse to start modding for big power then... i.e. stick a 6-sp in it....

lol Was just being silly.

But seriously, you could simply replace the gearbox for a like-for-like 5-sp. replacement. Or if it's an early classic, for the later, stronger TY754... 'box.

At a stroke, it'll get the AWD back - without the hassle of delving into and fannying around in your existing 'box to check what's up with, and rectifying, the centre diff., etc.
