idosubaru Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 (edited) wiring differences anyone? it will bolt right up just fine. there are two final drive ratios offered in subaru manual trans of this time period - 3.9 and 4.11. it would depend which models of legacy's you're talking about. GT and OBW will be 4.11. other models can be 3.9's. you'll also want to clarify hydraulic clutch verses cable clutch. i believe you can "swap" between the two, but the purchaser might prefer knowing that up front. *** oh yeah, you're lucky - JCE is looking at this thread, you're in good hands!

They only include cars w/the exact same transmission. Most of the time if the FD Ratio matches, the trans will work among EJ/EG/EZ-engine based Subarus. But like noted above the '98 is a Push-style and the '00 is a Pull, per this ubiquitous trans chart. It'll still work, but they'll need the '98's clutch/PP/FW and shifter fork/slave cylinder, etc. Gl, Td Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
