95 5mt final drive ratio

[powderhound]

I found a guy selling a 5mt from a 95 legacy for 200. Was going to buy it. He says his is 3.90 fd. The code on my strut tower, also 95 legacy, says TY752VAAAA which from everything I can find is 4.11 fd. Can this be?

 

on the http://www.gearhack.com/myink/ViewPage.php?file=docs/Subaru%20Transmission%20Chart this ty752vaaaa belongs to MY 94 outback and shows 4.11 but the legacies below it have exact same gears with 3.90. Is this just due to tires?

the used parts interchange software makes a big deal of the 6/95 date, built before and built after.

 

it is my understanding that, 6/95 and before the 5 speed will be a 4.11 final drive and after 6/95, i am 100 percent sure, the 5 speed final drive is 3.9. but if the numbers (ty752vaaaa) on the bell housing @ the starter match, it should work.

 

for reasons i do not understand in june of 95, they swapped the final drives ratios in manuals and autos. they just traded 4.11s for 3.9s.

mfd 5/95. It was going to be a preemptive purchase anyway. I guess i could get just change the rear diff at the same time? Who knows maybe if I fix the shifter bushing/linkage slop the rattling will go away.
