I want to put a older Hi-Low 5 speed tranny out of a GL into a 95 or newer Legacy or Outback subee with the 2.2 motor. What adapter plate would I need and what else is involved to do so?

 

This is one good option for you. There are many more. I have used this kit for almost 5 years now, not one problem.

In addition to adapter and redrilled flywheel you will need the following

 

custom length driveline (front section 2" longer.....rumor that 2000-04 Legacy shaft works)

 

Customized front trans crossmember (drilled to accept EA trans mounts)

 

Customized shift linkage.....really just retrofitting EA D/R shifter itno place.

 

Axles.........One of 2 options........

 

1) run 23 spline inner, FWD, MT 93-94 Impreza axles......only EJ axles to come with a 23 spline inner.

 

2) open trans.....install a set of 25 spline stubs into the EA D/R......then run pretty much any EJ front axles (I like OE 98-03 Forrester axles)
