Mr.Atlantis Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) I see talk of EA this and EJ that. I'm assuming these are the Trans or Engine types of the particular vehicles in discussion. Does anyone have a complete list with matching years and models (or at least OEM installation)? What is under my stock 2008 Legacy Outback 2.5i 5MT? My transmission is labeled: TY758VCABA-GA (which is about the only ID I could find on it.) Edited July 25, 2014 by Mr.Atlantis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 EA, EJ, EG, FA, FB are engine types. You have an EJ25 engine. Im not sure of the specific code on that year. EJ is the engine series 25 is displacement. There are numbers afterwards to indicate other features of the engine. EJ251,-253,-257, etc. Transmission is just a 5MT. There is a wikipedia page with lots of info about Subaru engines and transmissions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibreakstuff Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) 2008 outback would most likely be ej253 SOHC. If its DOHC, it would be ej254. TY758VCABA-GA: 1st 3.454 2nd 2.062 3rd 1.448 4th 1.088 5th 0.780 Rev 3.333 TR 1.0 FD 4.11 Front Open Center Viscous 4kgf Rear R160+Open Edited July 26, 2014 by Ibreakstuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's 4th gear that is closest to my 'direct' drive-line huh? I was always told it was 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I could help. Yep, its the closest to the transfer ratio of 1:1, but there is still the reduction in the front and rear differentials.
