2.2 or 2.5 liter manual transmission?
 

I am still chasing the manual transmission.

There are any reasons not to get the 2.2liter transmission?

What is the torque spec for these?

Thanks.

They're all the same. I am using one from a 1.8 L. No big deal.

I'm with Mike on this, mine came out of a 95 - 2.2

If you can, get one out of a Forester with the 4.444 rear end.... ultimate acceleration upgrade and still retains a tall cruising gear.

The 4.444 rear also means that there is less shock load on the individual gears while driving... it's a more balanced design and less prone to failure, which is why the JDM and European WRX STi 5 speeds use this design.

Foresters were not offered
 

with a 4.44 manual trans in the US sayeth the good books (Forester Service Manuals). USDM Forester gear ratios are the no different than the Legacy/Impreza gear ratios.

Todd,
You know i believed this until i got my transmission in. I have a full 03 forester setup(4.11's and all) And @60 miles an hour in 5th gear im turning over 2500 rpm. Now you push that up to 70mhp and im still at about 2800~3000rpm. Upon riding in the black 5spd i met up with lsat week. I watched his revs in 5th as we entered the highway he was pushing close to 2800rpm at 60. He had an 00 tranny with 3.96 gears. I do not have the 5th gear option either.
im flustered :confused:

So you're saying that when I get my tranny from Smallcar.com in a few months I should ask for a Forrester Tranny??? I do do alot of highway driving, but still want the acceleration... what is your 5th gear ratio in that forester tranny Phil??? I want to find out weather or not I will need the 5th gear set swap.

Hey Phil, your comming to Reading right??? Well if you are do you think I would beable to get a ride in your car to see what a 5 speed SVX is really like...

Phil better come. He's talking about not coming, but I think we need to convince him with some of those big weapons you've got down there, green!

:D

Heheheh..... Yea.... That does sound like a good idea.... What do you like, 240 Gulf, M249 S.A.W., Mk-19 Automatic grenade launcher....... AT-4 (Anti-Tank Rocket).... Then we have some bombs.... Mk-82, 83, and 84's (500lb, 1000lb, and 2000lb)... Don't forget lovely Napalm.... Oh yea, if anyone wants to know how to make homemade napalm at Reading, I'll show ya.......:D :cool: :D :p

That's a good mixture..... But...... Has anyone ever tried JP-5 (Hi-performance Diesel) Styrofome and Orange Juce (concentrate) ???? That will make some of the stickiest hottest burning stuff I have ever seen!!!!!

Well JP-5 isn't really Diesel fuel..... It is what we put in F-18's.... But it is pretty close to an extremly hot burning Diesel fuel..... It is also very corrosive...... :D :D
