4EAT/rear diff ratio chart?

Featured Replies

where could i find a chart for early to late 90's, i need to know ratios of trans and rear diff....

 

 

thanks

 

Neo

95 - 99

2.2 manl = 3.9

2.2 4eat = 4.11

 

2.5 manl = 4.11

2.5 4eat = 4.44

 

the early 90s had no apparent pattern. i think 94 was the same as 95 but not sure. turbos were likley different than others of the same year and trans????

Another quick question... Are the gear ratios the same for the Imp ATs up to 00 also??

Another quick question... Are the gear ratios the same for the Imp ATs up to 00 also??

 

logic says they would be or at least a very close variation. the most i can figure out is that subaru makes 3 ring gears, 37, 39 & 40 teeth and 2 pinion gears, 9 & 10 teeth. (plus the odd ball 11 tooth pinion for the svx).

 

these gears allow for the gear ratios we are most familiar, 3.7, 3.9, 4.11, 4.44, but there are other possible ratios.

 

so my guess is imprezas use some combination of these existing gears. you can do some research at http://opposedforces.com/parts/ and find the actual part numbers for the gears in the diff in question and compare them to another.

 

but, i may be wrong, so do your homework.

I'm not sure. But I know that when I had a question about this one time, I called the dealer and they were able to look it up for me. So maybe you could try that? I mean I would think it would be the same, but of course I don't know for sure

i look at the rear diffs listed in the opposed forces parts lookup website and the diff ratios appear to be same as the legacy for the late 90s.

 

2.2L man - 3.9

2.2L 4eat - 4.11

 

2.5L man - 4.11

2.5L 4eat - 4.44

 

1.8L was the same as 2.2L, and pre 95 was not necessarily the same post 95.

 

but again, i just looked this up and i may be wrong, or the web site may be wrong.

you need to check more than just the dif ratio, the 99 legacy trans changed in the early part of that manufacture year. in 99 they went to a trans with a TZ1A2ZJEBA (outback) part number rather than the 98 version TZ102Z2DBA (outback), the TZ1A2Z... is a phase 2 trans.

 

this change in the legacy trans included a wiring change. you need to find out which trans the 99 used and which trans your other car used. impreza may have changed a year earlier or later (earlier i think?). using the "new" phase 2 trans will require a lot of wire splicing and figuring out.

 

what year are you putting the trans in? does the 99 have a spin on trans filter? compare the wiring connectors to make sure they match.

Edited by johnceggleston

the impreza 97 2.2L AWD a/t, was a 'new' phase 2 trans. this means a 99 would be also.

 

 

what is the year and model of the car you are putting the trans in?

95 legacy uses a TZ102ZAAAA. you can use any legacy 2.2L trans from 95 - 98 as long as it starts with TZ102ZA...

 

impreza part numbers for the same time frame are similar but some check is in order. but you can probably use a 95 - 96 (maybe 97?) impreza 2.2L trans as long as the trans part number starts with TZ102ZA...., but this crossover is unusual and it's going to take some research to be sure it will work.

 

there is a chance you can use an impreza as early a 93, but 95 is usually a break point so i would stick with 95 - 96/97 as long as the trans part number starts off with TZ102ZA.....

you can also probably use a 96 - 98 outback, LSi, or GT trans if you get the matching rear diff. these trans have the 4.44 gear ratio.

 

i say probably, because i don't know if the 95 TCU will work well with the 96 - 98 TZ102Z2.... trans.

 

if possible, stick with a 2.2L trans.

this trans form the impreza is from a 2.2 i am just waiting for the guy to call back with a trans number

have you looked here?

 

www.car-part.com

 

you'll have to search for legacy, 95, 96, 97, 98 etc., as listed above, but you'll have lots to choose from.

 

sort your search by 'distance'. a 450$ trans in town costs the same as a 300$ trans you have to ship for 150$.

 

these guys list one for 175$,

cool... i need to do some shopping around he JYs in my area :banana::banana::banana:

by the way, that was a 96 legacy 2.2L A/T. if the jy hears you ask for a 95 they will not quote a 96, their interchange software thinks they are different. do your research on line and then call the jy and ask for the year trans you have seen they have.

ok i am getting that 175 trans

hmmmmmmm

if the part number you listed is correct, it has the 4.44 diff ratio, you will need the matching rear diff. the trans part number you listed is for a 96 outback, (2.5L or 2.2L, same trans, the only time a 2.2 had the 4.44 rear diff). you need a trans part number which starts with TZ102ZA ......

 

you cannot have a '2' right after the second z, it has to be an 'A' after the second z.

If all he needs is a matching rear diff, that's awesome! That just means lower gears for off road!!
