Hey guys, I got a 1990 lego, manual 2.2 and i'm in my final stages of making it a vehicle that can survive where I live. Lifted, Locked, Updated breaks, quality rubber, etc.

 

I would like to be able to gear it down with either a older model transfer case or just fully change the first gear ratios..There is one other 93 Impreza in my town that has already done this, so I know its possible. Although he is out of town for the next few months.

 

Anybody know what generation transfer case I should be looking for? I have access to an 89 Loyal T/C

 

Taking ideas...This is also a budget car

 

Thanks

You need the whole transmission.....not just a T-case.

 

Subaru's don't really have a transfer case.

 

You want a Whole D/R trans from a 85-89 GL model.  And an Adapter plate and Flywheel.

...There is one other ... in my town that has already done this...

 

As far as I know, there is a Red Legacy (not impreza) with a AUDM EJ Dual Range transmission in your same city, Moab, it belongs to a Good friend of mine, whose User Name is "Superu" ... maybe you want to buy a Dual Range EJ transmission and do a similar "Superu" as the title of this thread says, here's one Dual Range EJ Trans for sale in USA:

Hey dude,

I'm in Moab too!!

 

Per JesZek, I have a 95 legacy Sedan, 2-tone maroon and black.

 

are you in a 2-tone grey and black lifted wagon? Do you work a the zip line tour?

 

I am unaware of any other dual range swapped new gen Soobs in Moab, but I know of like 5 in the country, and there are  abunch more old gen dual range 4x4 swapped EJ soobs out there.

 

Based on what you said here, it sounds like you'd want a dual range 4x4 from any dual range 5-speed EA subaru (say 85-89 GL wagaon). That'll give you a hi and lo range, the lo will be nearly a 60% gearing reduction AND real 4x4.  You'd be driving FWD when not locked in hi or lo 4x4. 

 

The route I went is maintaining full time AWD (cuz it's awesome! but sourced an Australian dual range 5-speed FT AWD gearbox. There are a few ways about this and details there too, but it can be done. I have a friend here with a 97 OB on king springs who'se looking for this swap for his wagon.

 

Anyhoo, send me a PM or since this is your thread we can talk about it here. 

 

There are ways to get a low range in your 90 legacy, both mean changing the transmission. . . .Gloyale gave you the quick and dirty to get a real and useful 4x4, but you'll lose your 4.11 axle ratio for that, unless you do a bunch of other stuff...

 

Anyhoo, glad I stumbled on this thread and tell me more abou the 93 impreza you referenced!

 

Ciao.

LoL! ... ... I always thought it was Red, Dark Red, covered with Mud / Dust \ etc from Offroading, which made it Look like Maroon...

 

My mistake...

HAHA!

 

I can never remember if its Mica Ruby or Ruby Mica, its color code 947, but now it's 2- tone with satin black... well 3- tone with oxidized satin black and the hood 

 

 

 

But More commonly looks somewhere between those and these
