Gaar Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Hey guys, I got a 1990 lego, manual 2.2 and i'm in my final stages of making it a vehicle that can survive where I live. Lifted, Locked, Updated breaks, quality rubber, etc. I would like to be able to gear it down with either a older model transfer case or just fully change the first gear ratios..There is one other 93 Impreza in my town that has already done this, so I know its possible. Although he is out of town for the next few months. Anybody know what generation transfer case I should be looking for? I have access to an 89 Loyal T/C Taking ideas...This is also a budget car Thanks g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 You need the whole transmission.....not just a T-case. Subaru's don't really have a transfer case. You want a Whole D/R trans from a 85-89 GL model. And an Adapter plate and Flywheel. Search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 ...There is one other ... in my town that has already done this... As far as I know, there is a Red Legacy (not impreza) with a AUDM EJ Dual Range transmission in your same city, Moab, it belongs to a Good friend of mine, whose User Name is "Superu" ... maybe you want to buy a Dual Range EJ transmission and do a similar "Superu" as the title of this thread says, here's one Dual Range EJ Trans for sale in USA: ~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/144426-ej-dual-range-trans-for-sale/ Kind Regards.

superu Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Hey dude, I'm in Moab too!! Per JesZek, I have a 95 legacy Sedan, 2-tone maroon and black. are you in a 2-tone grey and black lifted wagon? Do you work a the zip line tour? I am unaware of any other dual range swapped new gen Soobs in Moab, but I know of like 5 in the country, and there are abunch more old gen dual range 4x4 swapped EJ soobs out there. Based on what you said here, it sounds like you'd want a dual range 4x4 from any dual range 5-speed EA subaru (say 85-89 GL wagaon). That'll give you a hi and lo range, the lo will be nearly a 60% gearing reduction AND real 4x4. You'd be driving FWD when not locked in hi or lo 4x4. The route I went is maintaining full time AWD (cuz it's awesome! but sourced an Australian dual range 5-speed FT AWD gearbox. There are a few ways about this and details there too, but it can be done. I have a friend here with a 97 OB on king springs who'se looking for this swap for his wagon. Anyhoo, send me a PM or since this is your thread we can talk about it here. There are ways to get a low range in your 90 legacy, both mean changing the transmission. . . .Gloyale gave you the quick and dirty to get a real and useful 4x4, but you'll lose your 4.11 axle ratio for that, unless you do a bunch of other stuff... Anyhoo, glad I stumbled on this thread and tell me more abou the 93 impreza you referenced! Ciao.

My mistake... Kind Regards. HAHA! I can never remember if its Mica Ruby or Ruby Mica, its color code 947, but now it's 2- tone with satin black... well 3- tone with oxidized satin black and the hood But More commonly looks somewhere between those and these Edited March 10, 2014 by superu 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
