All Loyales, and Legacy's had either selectable 4WD or AWD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet82 Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 The biggest chip on my shoulder is Subaru not offering the D/R tranny to the U.S. Market any longer They do it everywhere else? The car is so much more usable when outfitted with the proper tranny. Me want Dual Range Glenn, 82 SubaruHummer--Dual range 01 Forester-- 5 speed :-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganM Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 shoulda kept that old dual range; you can adapt it into your Legacy with the proper parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezapar Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 finally found out how much one would be if shipped. $700. for trans/ about $400. for shipping If I could be guarranteed that it was a good tranny, I'd pay that. But taking someone's word for it and dealing with trying to get it replaced if I received a lemon would make me feel like I was taking a huge risk.

Hank Roberts Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Belated followup, but my experience with several(!) used transmissions is you risk getting one that's already worn out -- grinds going into 2nd, or pops out of 1st and 3rd. If you can afford the time and the seller will reimburse shipping if it's bad, that might make sense. Make sure you get the actual serial number off the metal tag on the transmission housing (be careful cleaning the mud off so you don't clean the painted number off the thin metal strip!). Without that you can get any of several wrong ones. Look for my postings for details. Currently, my original 5-speed dual range is off at Colorado Component Repair -- CCRinc to be rebuilt. If the local mechanic had believed me about going to them first, back in April, it'd be done. At the time I was brand new to a Subaru, didn't know what I've learned reading here since. My criterion for OK is not popping out of first gear when pointed downhill on a steep slope using engine braking. That's not something everyone is likely to have done -- especially those using the cars in snow and ice instead of on dirt roads. The mechanic who tried several used Japanese transmissions in my 1988 GL agreed, the people sending them can't bench test them, so you get to do the testing for them.
