March 8, 20206 yr Hey everyone I just had a quick question... I have a 1991 ej22 from a Subaru legacy L in the United States. There is an opportunity for me to buy a 2.5RS Impreza transmission from 99-01 with the transmission code of TY754VCAAB. Will this Transmission bolt up and work for my engine? I know I will have to fabricate the shift linkage and transmission mount and drive shaft etc, but I was just more concerned if this works out. Also would I need to mess with the ECU at all? Thanks
March 14, 20206 yr It will work. The gearbox is probably an 8 bolt at the bell housing and your EJ22 will be a four bolt. Just use the four bolts to hold the gearbox and a engine together. You will need to arrange a stud for the lower starter motor mount as the gearbox uses this as a bolt in the 8 bolt setup. Or just use the top mount bolt to do the job. Ive done this with my L series - gen1 EJ22 four bolt engine, 2003 forester SG eight bolt (phase 2) gearbox. Cheers Bennie
March 14, 20206 yr dont forget that the drive ratios need to match between tranny & rear diff.. if they dont you will have problems.

I didn't have notifications turned on for this post! Thank you for the info! Also for the diff, how do I go about that? Should I just find the diff meant to go with that tranny? Thanks again!
April 20, 20205 yr ideally, you find a tranny with the same final drive ratio as what you already have. short of that, yeah, grab the matching rear diff from the donor
