I've got a 91 legacy automatic 4 wheel drive

I am wondering if the flexplate or flywheel whatever its called

the part that goes to torque converter to engine

I was wondering if they are different from a front wheel drive car and a four wheel drive car

Both cars obviously are automatic

I always get the two mixed up on their names

but the part in the picture is what I'm talking about

Flex Plate.  2.2 and 2.5 are different OD's but both will bolt up to the crank. 

i doubt seriously that subaru made the FWD flex plate different from the AWD flex plate for the ej22.

the trans are the same, except for the rear extension housing.

so the answer is no, there is no difference.

thank you very much

My next question is The torque converter out of the front wheel drive

Is that the same for the all wheel drive?

i doubt seriously that subaru made the FWD  torque converter different from the AWD torque converter for the ej22.

the trans are the same, except for the rear extension housing.

so the answer is no, there is no difference.

 

the torque converter on the ej25 is different.

 

but let's cut to the chase here,

look up the parts you have questions about ,

the AWD version and the FWD version,

and compare the part numbers.

 

 Subaru parts catalog

 

this parts site only goes back to 93,

but there are virtually no differences in the drive train, primary engine and trans parts 90 - 93.

and there is NO difference in the 90 FWD and the 93 FWD.

one exception is the final drive ratio on the AWD transmissions,

but that is not an issue unless you are swapping a complete trans.

 

but now that i think about it,

why are you asking about the TC and flex plate?

they do not fail often.

 

PS: there is a rumor that there is a JDM (Asia) TC and flex plate on a turbo engine that is different from the standard US version.

The reason why I'm asking is My engine Philip cherry picker smash the flexplate

I have another one but I was hoping to change the flexplate and torque converter

with the one from the front wheel drive car because the front wheel drive car had a lot less miles on it

I meant to say fell off the cherry picker:)

so I decided just to go for it I used the torque converter

from a front wheel drive legacy on my girlfriends 91 Legacy

all wheel drive work great seems to do just fine

The stall rate would be the only difference. FWD torque converter had a slightly lower stall rate than the AWD converter. Only a few hundred RPM though so probably not very noticeable. Size-wise they're the same and bolt up the same.
