That's what we ended up doing - found a GL tranny in a scrapyard and bolted it into our loyale. Snorkel, lift, and skidplates incoming!

I doubt that the GL box would swap into the Brat. Sounds like they have different tailshaft lengths and / or different engine bolt patterns. On another note, if you're in Corvallis, so are we

@laegion Thanks for the informative reply. I'll be sure to get all this information before I decide one way or another!

I've been trying to find a thread on this, but haven't been able to... I'm a college student getting ready to move cross country. I currently own a 2011 Civic, but I'm looking for something that roomier and that is a little more fun to drive than my Civic. I found a MT 1999 Impreza Outback Sport with 115k miles where I live for a decent price. I'm seriously considering the car, but I'm worried about reliability across the country. The EJ22 seems to be the most reliable Subaru engine, but from what I understand it still has head gasket problems. I've seen conflicting advice on whether these problems are self-induced or whether they only come when people rev out their engines regularly. Any advice on whether I should steer clear from this car for my needs, where I value reliability highly? Thanks!

@moosens thank you that answers my question!

I found a 78' Brat Transmission - before I ordered the part I wanted to confirm whether or not it is truly a hi-lo. I need a hi-lo for a swap into my 94 loyale gambler rig. Thanks so much for your help!
