Gloyale Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 i only know of one person that has done this to an XT6 - i gave him the differential to do it. it didn't last very long, i assume he didn't get something set right. Hmmm.....not inspiring confidence here....lol Well, the tranny is assembled and into the GL-Turbo. I used heavy grease on the gears, assembled, spun the pinion shaft(tail still removed), then opened up to check the grease pattern on the teeth. I think I got it decent. We'll see. Adding fluids, and the rear diff today. Then time for a drive. Just a note. The tail sections of the GL trans and the Legacy tran were slightly different. The trans mounts form the GL would not bolt onto the Legacy trans, different spacing of the bolt hole, and a different angle to the mount surface. I had to modify the Legacy mount to fit bolt to the GL crossmember. It was very easy though. Grind off 2 bolts. But the bigger Legacy tail section is a very tight fit through the GL's tunnel.

idosubaru Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Hmmm.....not inspiring confidence here....lolthat wasn't a stab at you at all, just a verification that it needs to be done right. your familiarity with subaru's and even how that job should be done are much higher than the person i know that did it. it also aids in the reluctance i have of doing that job myself.
