Hey all, I just installed an EJ22EAWBPL engine, taken from a 96 outback legacy (manual), into a different 96 outback legacy (automatic) that previously had an EJ25DAABJL. When I start it up, the engine constantly revs up to 3K rpm, then drops a little, then revs back up. It will do this until it is shut off. I can't figure out for the life of me why it's doing this. Any ideas?

Once I pulled the trans again, it took me maybe 10 seconds to figure it out. Pretty silly of me. Thanks for the response.

I just replaced the trans in my legacy outback. The trans I put in originally had a slave cylinder, but I had to swap it out for the cable components on the stock trans. Is that ball socket that the clutch fork rides on different between the two types? I'm getting a lot of extra play in the clutch and it doesn't engage fully to shift. Am I missing an easy, stupid thing here?

I just bought a 96 outback legacy that needs a new trans put in. I already had a 96 outback legacy that had a blown engine, but was in a little bit better shape. I was originally going to just replace the trans, but now I'm wondering if it might be easier to put the new engine into my old vehicle? The only questions are, can I put a 2.2 into a car that previously had a 2.5? And will an engine from a manual trans car be compatible with an automatic? Any thoughts are appreciated.
