Legacy777 Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Well I started tearing down the donor car today for my swap. I setup a mini page/journal type thing http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru/trannyswap.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. RX Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Boy I love these kind of projects, parts all over the place, and when it comes time to put them back together you always end up with a whole lots of spare parts. Good luck, just the kind of thing I would tackle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted August 8, 2004 Author Share Posted August 8, 2004 Thanks Corky, hahaha...yeah there's parts all over the place. It should be a good project to keep me busy though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olnick Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 So Josh . . . what are you swapping and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted August 9, 2004 Author Share Posted August 9, 2004 swapping a 91 turbo legacy tranny & LSD rear diff in my legacy. As for the why.....why not....hehe....actually I have been wanting to do this for some time....I just prefer driving MT vehicles, plus my AT isn't in the best shape, so a few months ago I started collecting all the pieces to get the swap in progress.

MorganM Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 swapping a 91 turbo legacy tranny & LSD rear diff in my legacy. Is this a hydrolic clutch turbo 5MT ? Sounds like you are knee deep in Subaru Corky is right about the extra parts LOL I have boxes of metric hardware now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy777 Posted August 12, 2004 Author Share Posted August 12, 2004 I ran into something tonight.....the fuel separator thing is different on the wagons and sedans. Anyone have an AWD leg parts car lying around, or know of any in a junkyard around you? I really need this part along with the lines by next week. here's more info http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=20211 TIA!

Dr. RX Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Josh, are you sure that you have to cut a hole for the clutch M/C? When I did my Impreza conversion, the hole was already there, just had a rubber plug in it, bolt holes were there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted August 12, 2004 Author Share Posted August 12, 2004 Yeah I'm sure I need to cut the hole. Apparently on the first gen legacies other then the turbos they didn't cut the hole because the trannies were cable operated. Looking at the pedal system, I should be able to get things lined up enough to get the studs through the firewall, and then mark the hole.....hopefully.
