The alignment pins are often corroded into the trans. I will require you to pry the engine and trans apart. Go easy, start with a thing screwdriver driven between the engine and trans. Work up to a pry bar. Some folks like to drive the pins forward, the passenger side will come out the drivers side will hit the engine block but you can move it half way out of the trans.

Tranny option

No the original one will work fine. -
I've pulled 20+ engines from the you pull yards. Look for: - Car hit hard, you know it was going down the road - Car is in other wise good shape, you know the owner took care of it - Oil, pull the pan plug, the cleaner the oil the better. Put you finger in the drain hole and check the bottom of the pan for metal inside - Engine turns over by hand and compression feels good on all cylinders - Pull a plug or two, good clean burning - Coolant looks good If it passes all those checks pull it. Before you install it: - Reseal the rear breather plate - New Plugs (NGK) and valve cover gaskets - Reseal the Oil Pump and locktite on the rear cover screws - New Subaru Cam and Crank Seals - New Timing belt kit - Make sure the thermostat is a Subaru one and the gasket is good

part interchange

Subaru are like lego's. Lot's of parts will bolt right on other Subaru's: Brakes Struts Seats A good used 96-99 Outback with the DOHC engine that the Head Gaskets have went out is a great platform and will last a long time. -
Yep, I did the same thing years ago. I love the ability to quickly bleed and flush the brake system. I use Quick disconnect air fittings on my. They seal fluid as well. Nice Post.

I don't think the 99 Legacy has the plug built in. I just added a hitch to the better half's 2006 Forester and it had the pigtail on the passenger side in the floor. Easy. I used http://www.etrailer.com/ for the Drawtight hitch and wiring. Easy and Fast and a price that could not be beat. Older Legacy's I've seen the tail lights tapped into behind the lights. I'm not a fan of the crimp on wire taps but that is what I see the most.
