Hate to bring this up, but after spending a few hours search on the forum. I am still confused.

I was looking at a rust free 99 outback auto tranny with bad engine and possibly bad transmission as well. I am planning to do a EJ22 engine swap and here are some of my questions

1)Can I direct swap(bolt on) a 95 EJ22 with auto to this 99 outback auto?

2)Did the 99 outback auto come with phase 2 tranny? The one with screw on type of ATF filter(one with delayed engagement problem)?

3) If question #2 is ture, is it possible to do a direct swap to the 99 outback?

 

I have done a few swap from 95 legacy to 97, 98 outbacks. But never to a 99 outback.

Please advice

Thanks a lot!

1. Yes. If the outback is the dohc the 95 is a direct fit.

 

2. Yes. Phase 2.

 

3. Yes 99 to 02 outback and forester will have the same final drive ratio and be direct bolt in. Double check trans codes to be 100% certain.
