Thanks guys that what I needed to know. I figured it was easier to swap whole wiring harness and then wire in 5 speed trans. So far everything going great, just 2 days in and just have to add wires for trans.

Everything matches, installed, and ready to go all but the wiring. I'm unable to find wiring diagrams that r accurate.

Just wondering if any1 has done this? I have basically a 95 subaru legacy wagon L, ej22, with auto trans and wanting to replace with a 5 speed. I hoping to wire in the 3 plugs from 5 speed and not have to do anything with auto trans wiring harness. Need to know where to wire in the 3 plugs from the 5 speed into my harness. I'm sure 1 is neutral switch and 1 reverse lights but not sure which 1. I'm not finding a lot when it comes to wiring diagrams for subarus (that are actuate). There are 3 plugs, 1 (3 wire plug) towards the front of trans on the top left if you are looking at from front of car, and 2 (2 wire) plugs on the right side of trans that r few inches apart. If there is anything else I may need to know please help me out, (all the gearing is the same, from trans and rear end everything came from same car, so no worries there) wiring is my problem.

Ok I have solved this issue with swapping the motor, I just swapped the main wiring harness under the dash so I could use my 95 ej2.2 and ecu. no biggie sense they are both legacy wagons, same body style and both L models, everything plugged right in with no issues. Now need to know what wires or how to wire in the 5 speed trans into a automatic trans wiring harness. There is 3 plugs on the 5 speed, that I have to wire in.

I dont have the 99 engine. I have heads that im not sure r any good because motor was ran without oil and blew. I have motor wiring harness, starter, air box and breathing tub, brackets, oil pan, radiator and fans, tons of bolts, thats bout it for the 99 motor. Not worried bout engine check light, as long as it runs, I would have no worries, the 95 2.2 is a great running motor, just need to get it in the 99 body, what ever it takes to do it.

I have a 95 subaru legacy L wagon, 2.2, auto trans. The auto trans went out on the 95 and I found a 99 subaru legacy L wagon 30th anniverary edition, 2.2 (different from the 95 2.2) with 5 speed trans. I seen that was same body, both OBD 2, both wagon L's. The 99 wagon had already had motor pulled, and I was told everything but block was in trunk. I pulled the motor from the 95 getting it ready to install in the 99 wagon when I noticed a few differences. Trans bolt holes (but the the ones there I can use) so no issue there, but then seen wiring plugs where a little different, so I thought I could use 99 motor wiring harness and put it on the 95 2.2, seen a few issues there but still do able (I have yet to do this wanted get thoughts first). Also thought of using 95 motor wiring harness and swapping out the 2 big main plugs so the 95 will plug to the 99, not sure if this will work. I still have to remove torq plate from 95 motor and replace it with the new 99 flywheel and clutch, hope that works as well. From what iv read and seen on web this swap will not work, I dont see why it would not, but I should have researched more before buying the 99 I guess LoL.
