experience with low mileage japanese trannys


Recommended Posts

Well, the "first batch" of Legacies had below par main bearings delivered from the parts supplier and at around 120K miles would need replacing - started being noisy around 60k.

 

SO, check your source and make sure this is not a traded in 'box with crappy main bearings.

 

Crappy bearings in all 1989 models and up to round about April 1990....but I am not certain.

I rebuilded a lot of Legacy 1.6 and 1.8 FWD 5sp. man. tranny's with the compleet interior (gears and diff.) from the 1.6 Leone models builded from '85 and after. 1.8 also fit but those ratios are more different.

To bad, the gear box dosen't fit to the engine from Legacy, but the interior is exact the same, there is just a little difference in gear ratios, but that difference is a neligible factor.

Just take the whole old stuff out, putt the other in and close the box.

The 4wd gear boxes are more reliable so i don't have experiance with them but i think they also fit from the older models.
