dave833 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) The auto trans on my '92 Legacy SS turbo seems to be going out. I'm not in a position to do a 5-speed conversion right now, but I have a chance to pick up a low-mileage auto trans from a non-turbo '92 for cheap. Does anyone know how the gearing compares, or how it might change the driving experience? I believe the final drive ratio is the same at 3.90. Thanks.

MilesFox Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I would say the difference i the final gear and perhaps the tcu programming, or just the input from the engine (load, rpm, etc) regardless. Sorry i don't have a specific answer on this one. A n/a trans should be a 4.11 gear but do a search to make sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWet Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 The individual gear ratios I can't help you with. The internal differences, other than final drive ratio, mostly has to do with number and thickness of friction plates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortysayhi Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Im pretty sure that the SS has a beefier trans (to handle more power and abuse) than the normal 2.2. There shouldn't be a issue that i see, except for the Final drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikaleda Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Don't the turbo transmissions have a differant stub spline count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 You will need the non-turbo ECU as well I it will act up/shift weird times. 92-94 legacy autos were all 3.9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
