its_masters Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Will a starter from a 98 legacy Brighton fit on a 98 legacy outback lmt? Both are 5 speed mt, if that helps. Let me know, thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 what's wrong with the present starter? There are rebuild kits for them to replace worn contacts and plungers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 well, if an ea82 5mt starter from an 87 gl, fits a 96 impreza with a 4eat, then it will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
its_masters Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 what's wrong with the present starter? There are rebuild kits for them to replace worn contacts and plungers too. I didn't want to mess with a rebuild kit because I already have the other starter in my parts car. The starter is just dead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I'd be surprised if it didn't swap over. Just, I don't have experience doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dj7291993 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Go on Napa's or anyone elses site, check the part numbers on the 2. If they're the same, you're golden. They should be the same, but this method is a good way for other parts and cars as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnceggleston Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 the MT starter is different from the AT starter, but 90 - 99 they are all the same. does that make sense? swap away. ps: imho, a used suabru starter is WAY better than anything from the parts store. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much! Both are 98's and MT, so they I should be good. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dj7291993 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 [...] ps: imho, a used suabru starter is WAY better than anything from the parts store. I agree, mostly, but it's faster to get part numbers from the aftermarket than from the dealers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnorthguy Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I agree, mostly, but it's faster to get part numbers from the aftermarket than from the dealers. Different point. John's trying to steer its_masters to a Subaru starter (used OEM) rather than a new unit from the auto parts store that is some lesser brand.
