it was awhile bk but i could of sworn that i seen a legacy transmission that was dual range.has anyone else seen or heard of a legacy with dual range trans???

if so let me know cuze i had a 86 gl wagon with a dual range 5 spd. i miss it . sadly it was totaled couple yrs bk.

i have a feeling that if there is a dual range out there for legacys,it'll be expensive

The only duel range transfer cases I BELIVE in Roos is in th GL series! All Loyales, and Legacy's had either selectable 4WD or AWD.

there all non US cars, do a search there is a big thread on this in retrofitting or offroading forums.

The biggest chip on my shoulder is Subaru not offering the D/R tranny to the U.S. Market any longer

 

They do it everywhere else?

 

The car is so much more usable when outfitted with the proper tranny.

 

Me want Dual Range

Glenn,

82 SubaruHummer--Dual range

01 Forester-- 5 speed :-\

shoulda kept that old dual range; you can adapt it into your Legacy with the proper parts

the thought of that didn't even cross my mind then,not untill it was gone an had my 92 legacy.

i checked with the local subaru dealer(waiting for response) an also another company that's not in the u.s. http://www.funonwheels.net/allthingssubaru/ also waiting for response.

hopefully one of the two have an anwser for me.

Subarus' ahev always been popular in New England you should be able to find a cheap old GL around.

finally found out how much one would be if shipped.

 

$700. for trans/ about $400. for shipping

 

guess no d/l for my legacy

thats not really that expensive

If I could be guarranteed that it was a good tranny, I'd pay that. But taking someone's word for it and dealing with trying to get it replaced if I received a lemon would make me feel like I was taking a huge risk.

Belated followup, but my experience with several(!) used transmissions is you risk getting one that's already worn out -- grinds going into 2nd, or pops out of 1st and 3rd. If you can afford the time and the seller will reimburse shipping if it's bad, that might make sense.

 

Make sure you get the actual serial number off the metal tag on the transmission housing (be careful cleaning the mud off so you don't clean the painted number off the thin metal strip!). Without that you can get any of several wrong ones. Look for my postings for details.

 

Currently, my original 5-speed dual range is off at Colorado Component Repair -- CCRinc to be rebuilt. If the local mechanic had believed me about going to them first, back in April, it'd be done. At the time I was brand new to a Subaru, didn't know what I've learned reading here since.

 

My criterion for OK is not popping out of first gear when pointed downhill on a steep slope using engine braking. That's not something everyone is likely to have done -- especially those using the cars in snow and ice instead of on dirt roads. The mechanic who tried several used Japanese transmissions in my 1988 GL agreed, the people sending them can't bench test them, so you get to do the testing for them.

i have a duel range manual transmission in my forester (awd, ej20, year 99).

could it fit to the legacy???
