i do not know for sure because i am not familiar with JDM stuff. but in the US it would not be a fit. the ''1'' after the second 'Z' does not match your trans. your trans has a 4.44 final drive ratio. the JDM trans you are looking at may not, probably does not.

have you looked on www.car-part.com ?

you cannot remove the entire drive shaft. you have to leave the front section closest to the trans in place. it ''seals'' the rear of the trans, without it the fluid will run out on the ground.

but you can remove the rear section of the drive shaft and drive on.

it causes no problems, except, you are FWD only, so watch out for the snow.

i have the bearing you need.

what's your zip code?

i have 6, how many do you want?

if you go to http://opposedforces.com/parts , you can look up your car and find all sorts of part numbers. you can also find your trans code number and those of other years.

let me know if you need help with the site.

by the way, i never check my visitor messages. if you want me to respond in a timely manner, send me a private message. if you right click on my name in a post i think private message is one of the choices.

yes it should fit. i'm not as familiar with impreza as legacy, but they used the same trans in any given year. and i KNOW the legos of those years are inter-changeable so the imprezas should be as well. they are the same trans . both have the 4.11 final drive ratio, which is the only possible difference.

you need to enable private messages in your ''user cp" so i can send you some details.

or send me a private message with your email address.
