ballitch Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 manual or auto tranny? guessing manual....but maybe someones done that swap....but i highly reccommend using a 4wd tranny if you can...lots of wheel spin with the low gearing of the EA trannies. ~Josh~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAWalker Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I have a '91 Loyale sedan FWD auto. PO put a rod through the top of the block. I had a EJ22 w/ FWD auto trans. setting on the floor of the shop. Pulled the EA engine and trans. Dropped the EJ setup in. That part is simple. Haven't gotten around to pulling the wiring out of Legacy doner yet. One problem I anticapate is the VSS. But won't know till I get back to work on it, which could be awhile. Too many projects so little time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offroadsubaruguy Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 i was thinking of doing an ej tranny as well as the motor, more possibilities for tweakage...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballitch Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 if wanting to use legacy tranny, and you dont have a lift kit installed, you need to bang the tranny tunnel a bit to get the tranny to bolt up right, or at least that was what i was told. ~Josh~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
