Actually ALL the gearing is in the front case.
The transfer case only steps it down to lower propeller shaft speed, and it is stepped back up at the rear diff.

i compared my 205 rear and it looks just like my 185.. and axles wise, it'll bolt on to it..

The one I put in my car was supposed to have come out of a 205. It bolted right up with no problems, axles and all.

i'm not sure i get it so bear with me cause i need to know.
IS THE ONLY difference between the 185 and 205 rear diff the torsen LSD in the 205 or the 205 has different gearing?
if u can answer that you may also be able to shed some light on whether or not the argument that torsen LSD's have been rumoured to be less predictable in corners than other types of LSD setups, is true. i am totally clueless when it comes to the rear diff but i was hoping if the torsens had issues if i could just buy a different LSD (clutch type or something) for the 185 rear diff and get better results than switching to the ST205 rear.

Diff case is exacty the same. It is a straight bolt in.
As for the torsen being twitchy in corners, all I can say is I ran HARD to through the Tail of the Dragon with no problems. Personally, I think it actually helps me cornering speed through sweepers. There is a 270 degree turn up onto a bridge on my way to work. The first morning I hit it after putting the torsen in, I notice that something felt a little different. I was running about 10 mph faster that usual and the car felt like it was digging in some.
I don't see where it would be twitchier. It just sends more torque to the wheel that has more traction. Now with a Detriot Locking rear end, I can see where there could be some cornering issues.

As far as I know it's the same. Check it to make sure the bolt holes line up but it should work.
