Kraig Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I just bought a 1994 subaru loyale 4wd 5 speed.. It came with a parts car, 1993 loyale 1.8, but automatic tranny (the tranny is blown, hence its a parts car). However the parts car has a body in much much better shape (it doesnt have any of the typical subaru rust). My question is, is it possible to do a engine and tranny swap from the driver car to the parts car? I'm very mechanically inclined and it definitely looks doable, I'm just wondering if it will jive or not. Thanks for any help!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott in Bellingham Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 yep Ive done it, everything bolts in, trade out pedal assembly with pedals and clutch cable transmission with crossmember and shift linkage inner plastic the wiring will be different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l75eya Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I've heard you have to fabricate your own carrier bearing for the driveshaft but that might only apply to going from front wheel drive to four wheel drive so.... I'll be quiet now.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR_Loyale Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Yes it can be done. I watched Miles Fox do it. Google his videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
