November 9, 200718 yr First, I have done a 97 Legacy 2.2 into a 98 OBW 2.5 with no issues. I am doing a 95 Legacy 2.2 into a 97 OBW Limted, what a pain 1) I had to swap the complete AC Compressor mounting bracket (Done) 2) while seperating the engine from the trans which was rusted welded around the studs I cracked the stud of the bell housing (Driver Side), I don't think this will be an issue seeing all the other places I have real bolts to secure the two. Does anyone think I will have an issue there? 3) The real problem, the 97 OBW had a stud on the bell housing the passenger side. The 2.2 from the legacy that I am putting has a stud on the same side. Which one do I remove and how???? If I need to I will cut it off somewhere. I would rather remove it and still use, but at this point I don't care.

If it's the dowel pins, sometimes they stick in the block and sometimes in the trans. Use a long punch to knock it out from behind and put it where you need it.
