Straight bolt on. You can pull the bolts at the frame or on the door. Last time I pulled the bolts on the door. When you install, get the bolts started and close the door, shim the bottom as necessary to line things up and then tighten the bolts. Check operation and your all set. What are you doing with the car when you get everything swapped? I saw you post to sell it, any bites?

The Torque convertor is not all the way in. Sorry to say, you will have to drop the trans. This trans has several items the TC and its shaft mate with. It must be engauged with all of them. Pull the trans out and then rotate the TC while pushing aft. You should feel it slide into place. If it does not go in, you may have a damaged seal or spring clip that is holding it up. You may want to try a search on this, several members have delt with this in the past.

They can be a pain as the retainer has very fine threads. Any dirt... in the threads will lock them up tight. Make sure its not cross threaded when you back them out. Do NOT try to turn it with a hammer and drift on the fins, they will break off. You need the special spaner or you may have luck with a large screwdriver or pry bar and turning it fin by fin. You should also replace the oring that seals the retainer. Mark the fin where it matches up with the lock. It will be easy to reset the bearing end play by just returning it to the same spot.

The son has a 93 Turbo Wagon with an auto trans that has lost reverse. I picked up a 93 Legacy AWD non-turbo. The trans is good. I know there are minor differences between the turbo and non-turbo auto trans. I'll swap the rear diff also. Anyone runing a turbo engine with a non-turbo trans for a significant number of miles? Are you happy with the setup? Thanks

drop the roll bar links and it will come down easier. That corrosion can be cured with lots of heat, but you may damage the bearings. A fork will not work unless it's bigger than the stub end of the ball joint that slips into knuckle. You can also spread the area by driving a old screwdriver into the slot.
