tranny swap for 96 legacy

Featured Replies

I have been going through this web site for about an hour now and I still cant find an answer to my question "What 5spd automatic tranny will bolt up to my 96 subaru legacy wgn?"

It has a 4 spd in it right now and I would like to put a 5spd in it any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

 

The short answer? None.

 

The long answer... it can be done with A LOT of work and time spent swapping the entire engine, transmission and engine and trans control units and associated wire harnesses from a 2006 or newer vehicle.

 

If you need more gears its much easier to swap in a 5 speed manual. And at that its even easier to just buy a car with a manual trans.

The 4EAT is a stout transmission and will last a long time as long as you change the fluid and keep on top of tirepressure and rotation schedule.

 

If you need more OOmph look into a set of reground cams from Delta Camshaft. The torque cam makes a big difference in the lower RPM range, especially with the automagic.
