No you cannot. The front and rear final drive ratio must match, the only exception is cars with 3.9 front and 3.45 rear because it's corrected by 10% rear drop gears.

You'll need one of the same 4.11 ratio...

Such as the one in this thread:

can i take the internal parts out of the 4.11 box and put them in mine

(my gearbox has a seized bearing and chips on 2 and 3 gear so this might be the cheapest option as i have to take my car over the pits)

lol this will make it still a 4.11 box as you are changing the gears as you have quoted the gears are damaged, and you cant use a 4.11 unless you change your diff or you dont you just buy a 3.54 box or gears and bearings from subaru?
