transmission question

Featured Replies

I apologize if this has been addressed already, but I did not know where to begin searching on this one.

 

Did Subaru even build a FT4wd tranny with a 3.9:1 final drive ratio and the (I believe it's) 1.8:1 low range like in the part-time 4wd tranny?

 

If so, what cars did they come in?

 

If not, is it possible to combine the 4wd part of the box from the FT4wd tranny with the low range reduction and final drive gear set from the part-time 4wd tranny?

 

I ask because I've been running the AWD legacy tranny behind my EJ22 for a few months now, and I REALLY like having the AWD on snowy roads, but I desparately need a decent low range (with 27" tires, a 1.2:1 low range just wouldn't cut it) for offroad use.

 

Thanks for your help.

the XT6 AWD manual trans is 3.9. not sure about first gear, but it's only a single range trans.
