My friend has a 1992 Legacy with a bad automatic. I have an automatic out of a 1995 Legacy and was wondering if it would be a direct swap (plug and play) or if wiring and switches will need to be done. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

pretty sure the final drive ratios changed, so you would need the rear diff to go with the trans it was built with, unless your 92 is fwd only.

read lmdew 's current thread on swapping gen 1 and gen 2 trans.

 

very helpful to this question.
