does anyone know if the transmission from a 2005 forester would work in my 2001 outback? i found a transmission for 100 bucks from a rollover with 71,000 on it. i dont really get that website.

heres the results. i did change the diff the transmission does work and does not set any codes seems to drive ok with light throttle/normal driving but under heavy throttle/acceleration scenarios it has some really funky shifts. engine can pull the gears ok doesn't seem to be slipping or struggling too hard. seems like i can drive it though until i find another good transmission. in the end this did not cost anything but time the h6 transmission and diff was free

well im getting ready to head back to the car to finish up. i guess ill just swap the diff and hope this transmission works out. wish i knew if i could drive it with the wrong diff and fwd fuse first to find out if it will work before doing the effort of changing the diff. but id rather not cause damage and i just dont know if it will with the fwd fuse in or not.

well today i did the swap the transmission is bolted in there now. i forgot thefluid here at home so did not fill it yet. will it cause damage to the 4.11 transmission if i were to run it with the 4.44 diff with the fwd fuse installed? id like to try to drive it before i swap the diff over as well just to find out if it all works before spending that extra effort. would like to figure it out before morning. im planning to go up there again tomarrow to finish it.

well do u think it would be as bad as a 2.2 running on a 3.90 final drive? my current setup is a 1998 outback with a1995 legacy L engine and trans using the outback tcu. im ok if its a lil slow im mainly concerned about driveability and hope it would be a little faster than my current car.

I do know the 2001 h6 llbean car is not CDC I'm not sure the transmission number the 2 cars are at a friends house where I'll be doing the work.

Anyone know? I'm hoping to start this swap tomarrow morning

will the auto trans from a 2001 outback LL Bean h6 work in a 2001 outback base model with a 2.5? i know id likely have to change the diff too just wondering are they electrically the same and will work.

i grabbed a junk yard hub today and of course the junk yard hub came off without much fuss. i wish it was the same case with the car im working on. i had to sawzall the bolt to get the hub off and ive been working on drilling out the big a** bolt from the bushings. killed all 4 of my batteries today so i quit for the night gonna finish it tomarrow after my batteries charge up.

no ive been fixing up an impreza to sell and im down to the last repair a bad rear wheel bearing. it had drum brakes and i have rear hubs with disk brakes. i was hoping to find out if it was possible to push the hub out of the disk setup without damaging the bearing so i could swap the backing plates with the drum setup to the "new hub" then press the hub back into the bearing. otherwise ill probly just convert it to disk rear because i have the parts and dont really wanna spend money in this car if i dont have to.

is it possible to push the hub out without destroying the bearing?

i am quite serious here. i do have a complete doner car to pull any electrics from is it possible?

what stops it from working is it just the electrical or is there something that physically wont fit and work as well?

heres the reason the legacy is not an option to me. the rest of the car is just as bad underneath and currently that section is held together with bed frames welded across the gap sheet metal to fill holes and construction adhesive. and yes that is a fence post holding the tower shived over where it belongs.

heres some pics if the impreza

well it was more than just the cluster. i kinda dont like the impreza dash i tihnk its a bit ugly compared to the legacy dash. i did mesure the dash length left to right and seemed the same length the door panels reason to want to change those is due to previous owner cutting holes for speakers and there all chopped up and dirty beige color with cloth inserts. im not a fan of the cloth at all and dont think the black leather would look right with a beige dash and trim. it basically needs a whole interior and well i have the legacy. second question thogh if i dont swap this stuff will the 95 2.2 work int he 98 impreza? i noticed the impreza 2.2 has the single port exhaust but is that all thats different?

im very much thinking of it. will the dash and door panels physically fit? im willing to swap hvac and wiring harnesses if needed to make it work. the cars not in bad shape rust wise i mean theres some but its still savable and will be doing the rust repairs before everything gets swapped arround.

so this is if i decide to build it still but how much of the 1998 legacy outback is interchangeable with the 1998 impreza outback? i kinda dont like the impreza dashboard will the legacy dashboard fit into the impreza and work electronically like the climate control? seats as well. the impreza has cloth i want my leather door panels trim panels how much will actually cross over?

well i attempted to drive it and only made it 2 miles to my dads house instead of the 13 miles to where it needed to go it was overheating thanks traffic. ended up getting it aaa towed the rest of the way. it ran like crap too and was also smoking out the exhaust thankfully im not using that engine if i fix the car. next day im not working im planning to get back over to the car and get underneath it and inspect it for major rust as long as theres not any its getting built up in place of my current outback.

ive heard removing the thermostat will make it run without overheating if it has a bad head gasket. is this true?

im possibly going to be picking up a free 1998 imprezza outback tomarrow im told it overheats. i dont want to use this engine i have another car with sevear rust issues i will be using that cars engine. is there anything i can do to make the car run without overheating for maby 10 to 15 miles?

when mine died the car started and drove 10 feet then cut out and stalled would not start again until i banged on the top of the pump unit a few times then it started again ran another 5 or 10 seconds and died again. no matter what happened it wouldent stay running unless i was tapping on the top of the pump unit with a long bar from the front seat.

nevermind i took the plastic end off and it pulled out after that then clamped it there and put the plastic end back on it.

well this all started because the shock tower rotted out and started collapsing. with some creative metal placement and such was able to get the tower solid again but had to remove seat belt in the process the seat belt retracted nearly all the way in now and will not pull back out. is there some kind of trick to get it back out again? and no i dont plan to keep the car forever i am looking for a new body but have a bit of time now with the repairs i did. i just want it to go back together for now.

i have had great success gluing the studs back on a side view mirror using gorilla glue. friends kids hit it with a bike and snapped all 3 mounting studs off the mirror. took the studs out gorilla glue and sit studs in place have to clamp whatever u gluing because the gorilla glue will expand. this was 4 years ago. the mirror is till on the door. ive also used gorilla glue to put the mounting tabs back onto a hub cap on my car. it stayed there all winter now.
