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

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.
