SubSandRail Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 My friend has a 90's sedan with the 2.2 liter non-turbo engine and auto tranny.The tranny just went out and the shop is quoting $5000 to replace it. They say it is not repairable. Is there a quick way to identify all the potential donor cars that would be a drop-in replacement? I think it is a 97, but will check that tonight. I have done a quick search, but if anyone can point to a good thread on the subject I would appreciate it. I spend my time on the old gen forum, and don't track what goes on with the newer stuff. We are trying to take a trip next week and I'm short on time, so any help is welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THAWA Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 the type of car would help but just so you know, any of the forester, impreza, legacy, or outback transmissions will bolt into one another and work fine. the thing you have to worry about though, is the final drive ratio matching up with the rear differential.

SubSandRail Posted August 6, 2004 Author Share Posted August 6, 2004 Thanks, I'll get the VIN and decode it. The shop has reduced the price to $1500, and he may just pay it. I still want to figure it out though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
