Which 5MT Legacy transmission uses a 4.44 fd? US Legacys had 4.11. Is it a turbo GTB transmission from overseas?

If it's a turbo transmission than you're using a hydraulic pull clutch, which is the same set up as the 02-05 WRX transmission. 06+ went to push style slave cylinder.

If it's a US Legacy non turbo transmission, it's a push style (same as 06+ WRX). I think you'll need to change out the clutch. Definitely the slave and fork.. I think.

You'll need to match the transmission final drive to the rear end. You may need the axles from the WRX. You can reuse your pedals (assuming you're going from hydraulic to hydraulic), driveshaft should be the same, mounts are the same. Shifter should be the same but if it's different you should be able to make something work.

What else..

Dunno if this is what you're looking for. You can PM me if you have questions. And stick around, someone should chime in with more knowledge.
