I am looking at swaping a 1996 Legacy Wagon cruise control into a 1998 Forester. Are the conponents relatively the same and can this be done with out a alot of headache. I have done a swap before but never across models?

The biggest problem I see is the VSS#2 output.

The CC uses this Vehicle Speed Sensor.

the one in the 96

is in the speedometer head

run via the speed-0 cable.

 

The 98

uses an electronic hall effect unit mounted directly on the

bellhousing. (i.e no speed-0 cable)

 

The outputs may be similar but where you pick it up may be different.
