I am looking to buy a 1992 that is in a similar state as joeaxial's. This perticular one came in from an auction to a local Subaru Dealer. They were surprised to find that the trans was almost dead when it came off the truck.

Can someone explain to me (who knows little about transmissions) what all is needed to do the 4.44 swap? The dealer is willing to cut a deal on the trans work if I buy the car and have the work done there. Is the 4.44 swap something a dealer would do? What extra cost would / might they incur from doing this swap? I'd be willing to pay the difference in cost if it meant better performance from a better transmission.

Like I said, I don't understand too much about transmissions. I have read other threads about the 4.11 / 4.44 swaps but still wasn't clear on what all was needed to do it. Any information anyone can add would def help clear things up for me.

Thanks!
