And gear ratios are different I just found out.. too much work! LOL

if its from 1982, are things different? and what parts do i need if its newer? like mounts etc? thanks!

ive kinda searched around the forums for this.. just wanna make sure its compatble.. have an 86 gl10 turbo sedan, and i put LARGE tires on it with no lift, and now for some WERID :^) reaswith a manual and push button 4x4 on the gearing is way too high.. the slowest i can drive is 7mph at 800 rpm... and thats a bit fast for wheeling do the dual range manual trannys bolt up to these motors? like one from an 82 ? or will i need to do something special? thanks! -Dan

ok so ive got a 1993 legacy 4 door car that has an auto tranny - FWD the tranny is crapping out on me and I happen to have a AWD auto tranny - can i just bolt it up? do i need to change anything in the computer? I am aware of how much work this project can be - and i also know that people are going to tell me to get rid of the auto tranny, and go with a manual - but that not what I want to do. any thoughts? or ideas - can i just plug the back output shaft on the tranny and use it as a FWD? or will that anger something inside of it? give me hell quimby!!! thanks! -Dan

Ok so I just bought this 1993 legacy 4 door car.. front wheel drive with an auto tranny. It leaks a stream of tranny fluid about the diameter of a pencil anytime the engine is running. I crawled under there and looked - it seemed it was coming from the tranny pan! no big deal - changed out the filter and pan gasket... STILL LEAKS! So i got a closer look - there is a "slot" between the tranny and where it connects to the differential - and the fluid is coming out of there - I imagine that means the front seal on the tranny is leaking. and also - the gear oil dipstick is red like its leaking into there. So how hard is this seal to replace? (assuming thats the issue) I always do my own work - but im feeling kinda lazy - plus I have a sloping gravel driveway at the moment (hard on jacks)- if i could get a tranny shop or someone to do it for $350 or so - Id just pay them to do it. any thoughts / suggestions? thanks! -Dan

also, what car does the ej20tt go in? (2.0 twin turbo) is it one of thsoe ones thats overseas only?

Im woking on a transplant from a 2.0 twin turbo engine, but i dont have a computer! is there a way to use another system, like megasquirt? or am i better off using a stock ECM? also, where can i get one? its bolting up to a manual transmission. Anyone got any thoughts? or maybe an ECM laying around? -Dan 503-887-1125

My car made that noise Louder then the video, and all i did was put a whole botle of SeaFoam in the crankcase, and drove it for 65 miles. It went completley away! I was amazed!

I just bought a 1991 lagacy sport sedan with a turbo, and A/T 4 wheel drive... for $500. Ive had legacy's before - non turbo, and ive had turbo loyal's but this thing is a blast to drive! it seems to be awesome! Is there a difference between AWD and full time 4WD?(just asking - ive been a mechanic for over 7 years - just havent dealt with subarus that much) I'm looking for some stats on it - i.e Hp, Torque, how much boost it has stock... or just some general comments... Im assuming that I just got a good deal? Thanks! -Dan

Does anyone know any good spots near corvallis / salem area for a bit of wheeling? There's about 3 of us trying to find some "legimate" places to play in the dirt / or climb trails. any thoughts? Or do we just need to drive up to browns camp near portland? (hopefully im posting this in the correct place) thanks! -Dan

Ive got an 83 ea81 wagon with 4x4 hi/low range - I was wondering if there is a way to weld the gears in the back, or otherwise lock the diff in the rear of the car? I have never opened up a subaru rear end - I dont know if welding is even possible, or if its something i want to do. I just want something as close to a locker, or posi as possible, as i only use this car off road thanks! -Dan
