Having difficulties finding information about cross-referencing manual transmissions between different year/models. I am in need of a used trans. for my 1998 subaru legacy outback, 2.5dohc, 5spd. I know there are variations of gear ratios/final drive and would like to be able to see the differences between different vehicles and wouldn't mind a lower rpm at cruising speed. Being at 60 and near 3k is annoying, also would like the knowledge of keeping it simple easy and stock. So if anyone is in the know of where I can obtain this information it would be greatly appreciated.
