edrach Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 (edited) 96 outback 5 speed is a 4.11That's probably correct for a Legacy Outback wagon since that's what the tranny chart shows. However, Fuji was notorious for installing whatever transmission was available at the time. Only way to tell is to check the TY number on the bell housing or engine compartment VIN plate. From the USRM: Too bad I couldn't print out the form for convenience. http://www.northursalia.com/techdocs/trannychart/trannychart.pdf[url=http://www.northursalia.com/techdocs/trannychart/trannychart.pdf][/url] To identify your transmission look for a label on the bell housing near the starter motor. My '97 Impreza has one reading 6Y-TY752VA5AA. I don't know what the 6Y means, but the TY etc. is what's important to identify your gearbox.

idosubaru Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 good points - it almost has to be a 4.11, but Subaru was awkward with EJ transmissions over the years. the 96 legacy's i've gotten had hydraulic clutches, but they were GT's, not OBW's, so maybe the OBW's only have the cable style clutch? if it has the same hydraulic clutches of the GT's then that will require some custom fitting of your first generation trans. not so sure on the 91 trans, but you should be able to check easily enough if you have it already. i'd think that could go 3.9 or 4.11?

lostinthe202 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 For what it's worth, my '96 OBW has a cable clutch. I'll check the tranny code tomorrow and report back if you like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
