Quick question:

 

Will a 1996 Impreza AWD automatic trans work/fit in a 2000 Impreza AWD automatic, (non turbo) 2.5?

 

Thanks!!

The main separation year is 99. Anything 90 - 98 is a safe bet will swap just fine. Anything 99 or newer will likely swap just fine, but going from pre 99 to post 99 you run into problems. Differences in electronics, wire harnesses, different bellhousing bolt patterns, etc.

A 90 - 99 trans will physically bolt to a 2000 engine just fine, it's just the other particulars that will make or break it. I'd stick to 99+ for a transmission.

no.

 

you can use 99 - 03 auto trans from both the impreza and the legacy.

low end leagcys, L & Brightons?, and imprezas have the 4.11 final drive ratio you need.(outbacks , GTs foresters and WRX DO NOT.)

i don't know about turbos, if there are any in that year range. so avoid them or double check the FD ratio.

 

probably should double check the ratios regardless, just to be sure.

 

parts available at www.car-part.com , you will have to search each model and year separately.
