mellow65 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 in the old days. i got this front my father Front Clip Meaning: Hood,Fenders Headlights Everything in front. Rewiring ? major ? Rotors i think they would be the same. it runs the same 14" Rims i dont know Gen 2 Legacy. what else would work ? Windshield ? Doors ? Steering Wheel ? Transmission ? well the body style is different between gen 1 and 2 so it would look really odd. but i'm not sure if it would even bolt up. rotors should be the same, not unless the gen 2 was an outback, then they had bigger front brakes. windshield, probably not, like a said they changed body style doors, same thing steering wheel, would swap, not sure of the plugs would be the same, and you dont want to start mixing and matching air bag parts, that spells disaster transmission, manuals swaps, autos im pretty sure the later ones were more computer controlled then the earlier ones.

GeneralDisorder Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Watch out on the brakes - some of the Gen 2 stuff had rear drums. The gen 1's only had rear disc's that I've seen but perhaps there were low end models with drums.... I've always figured the Loyale was in that niche.

mellow65 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 you are right about the rear drums, i was thinking front stuff only. if the 2nd gen has rear discs, they should be the same at the gen one now there were different pad options for different years, it was due to caliper and bracket changes dictating pad shape, but the rotors were all the same. Front 260x24mm 90-99 Legacy non-turbo/-GT/-Outback 93-01 Impreza AWD (non RS) Rear 266x10mm 90-99 Legacies/Outbacks with rear discs non-turbo 93-07 Imprezas with rear discs (except sti, 06-07 wrx) Foresters with rear discs Bajas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaruJawn Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 ok good to know. this gen 2 i speak of is a Regular Legacy "L" and its a Sedan. my gen 1 is a Regular Legacy "L" is a Wagon 5spd i know the trans wouldn't work. but figured i could sell it and wanted to know a gen2 would work in a Gen 1. i might and might not end up with it. i will find out tomorrow morning. odd... LOL modify the headlights and Hood to fit Gen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 this gen 2 i speak of is a Regular Legacy "L" and its a Sedan. That will almost certainly have rear drums. The one in my driveway that I'm about to sell does ('96 L sedan). GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamnk Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 legacy gen 1 and 2 does not matter if it si sedan or wagon everything will bolt on any car they are the same only the outside look si different no rewiring for the engine change as long is the same engine(EJ22=EJ22) but if j you change te engine(EJ18=EJ22)or any oder engin swap you will hawe ti put in the wiring from the car you took engine(so dash and all wires in engine space must bi different)binn done 10 times it is eazy the transmition? all the transmitions are pretimuch the same only the geer ratio is different some EJ18 legacyc had push button 4x4(hi and lo range) this transmition is a bit smaller becaus is the same like in leone there is the differance in the drive shaft from transmition to the rirdiff becaus legacy 2gen has a bit longer wheelbase then the 1gen in europe all the transmisions with 4x4 have hi and lo range except the cars with turbine(legacy gen 1 turbo,impreza gt,wrx,wrx sti) we buy 2wd legacys with EJ18 engins and then we turn them to EJ22 awd in the most cases we take parts off legacy 2 gen(not so old and damaged engines and better car handling(sway bar is batter made)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaruJawn Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 My Legacy has the EJ22 and so does the other Legacy here in US we didn't get the Push button 4wd or the Dual range. so that's out. now i am confused. the tranny wont and will in a Gen1 so which is it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamnk Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 all the trany fits in any lagacyc as long is 1 or 2 gen there is onli the differenc in the drive shaft from transmition to rirdiff it is a bit longer in gen2 legacyc but it is not a problem if you have bouth drive shafts this one used to be EJ18 2wd and we turned it to EJ22 awd the motor,transmition and rir diff came out from 2.gen legacy wagon the rir suspension(rir bridge) was taken off 1.gen legacy wagon this is what we call rir bridge and the drive shaft donnor car for rir "bridge" and drive shaft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralDisorder Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) Gen 1/2 transmissions are mostly compatible. You have to change the switches so the wireing matches the car it's going into, and the Gen 2's have a different transfer case section that has mounting points for the exhaust hanger. I just put a '93 transmission into a '96 and had to fab a new exhaust hanger for the #2 cat section. Also the linkage is different - you have to use the linkage adaptor (the peice that's roll-pinned to the shift rod) from the car the linkage came from. These are manual transmissions I'm talking about. Also the driveline and rear diff are different. The driveline's rear flange is larger with a different bolt pattern than the Gen 1. Obviously the diff matches so the flange on the diff is different as well. The rear cover on the diff has longer studs as well. In order to swap diffs (early trans is 4.11) I had to transfer the input flange, rear cover, and change the spider gears in the carrier to the clip-in style for the '96 axles.

GD as much as i whine about the rain around here sometimes, i will live with it to not have to use a full can of PB blaster just to do something like brakes. lets just pray they never think salt is a good idea out here.
