I had my local Napa do some fittings for the swap that I did a couple years ago. I had both the original lines and the Legacy lines, took them in and asked if they could put the original end on the rack side on the Legacy lines. Only cost me $30 for the fittings:brow:

You will have to go by Model number sticker on the transmission to determine the diffs ratio.

 

Marshall, only Automatic Legacys had 4.11 gears. All Manual Legacys have 3.9 gears. 1996-'99 Outback Autos have 4.44, Manual Outbacks have 4.11

 

You are incorrect.

 

90-94 Legacies, MT = 4.11 final drive.

 

90,91 Legacies, AT = 4.11 final drive

 

92-94 Leagcies, AT = 3.9 final drive.

 

from 95 on, your info is correct.

 

To the OP in this thread. The car would have been 3.7 originally, so if it's 4.11 now, the diff has already been swapped.

You can also switch to 4.44 gears in the transmission and rear diff if you find the bigger tires are bogging it down. The front ring and pinion are about $350 from subaru, plus the work to take the trans apart. Rear diffs are really easy to find out of later auto trans cars.
