SUBARU3 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 2 quickies: Is the torque converter from a 1995 2.2 Impreza 4EAT automatic AWD the same as the one in a 1995 2.2 Legacy 4EAT automatic AWD? I know the trannys are different numbers. Do torque converters ever fail, or wear out? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I haven't ever encountered one that failed. Lots of them are the same across models like you mention but the only way I know is to visually check. I have switched them and the flex plate and had no problems but your mileage may vary.

idosubaru Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 wouldn't surprise me if there's a tiny bit difference, but it'll be a benign and negligible amount. those transmissions are entirely interchangeable final drive ratio notwithstanding. i've never seen a Subaru torque converter failure, it would be a very odd thing indeed. i'd still probably use a lower mileage/better condition unit without any other compelling reason to not use it.

Fairtax4me Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Have seen a whole ONE reported Subaru torque converter failure here. Haven't ever heard of one otherwise. What symptoms do you have that make you suspect the TC is bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBARU3 Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 I just have a 65K tranny that I don't think I will ever use. I'm selling it, but thought I'd keep the TC just in case. (Sell the tranny without the TC) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Ah! I see. Id just well it with the trans. Pretty unlikely you'll ever need it and they take up a LOT of space on the shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
