Sonicfrog Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Well the 5 speed AWD tranny in Red, the $300 Alpine wagon, is getting progressively more noisy. Sounds like a bearing in the tranny is starting to go south. I'm finding it hard to locale a tranny from any of the normal import engine shops, and nothing has popped up here on the parts list, so I'll more than likely pull one from the bone yard. Will a second gen tranny also fit, or do I have to go with a 90 - 94? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beware though that after 98-99, they changed the bellhousing so that it has more bolts. The bolts still lineup okay, but the old bellhousing has less bolts.

GeneralDisorder Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 You can use a hydro tranny by changing the fork so even that is not really an issue. Sometimes changing the rear diff is easier than finding a matching tranny. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonicfrog Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 Does the tranny brackets on the bottom line up too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 The mounting system is the same, yes. When you find a replacement run the number on the bell-housing through this chart to see what you have found: http://www.gearhack.com/myink/ViewPage.php?file=docs/Subaru%20Transmission%20Chart GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
