drivetrain conversion questions
My car was converted from FWD to AWD by previous owner . It has the 4:41 drivetrain out of a 1998 ish Outback ( I presume ) . The guy I bought it from had no clue about any of the technicals, and no paperwork . So my questions - would the axles ( front and rear ) be SVX or Outback ? Is the Outback transmission as prone to overheating as the one it is replacing , or do the 4:41 gears mean the transmission is not working so hard ? Thanks, Kelly

Re: drivetrain conversion questions
The Outback transmission is tough, no problems. It's a 4:44. SVX is 3:545. It will have better acceleration but rev a bit higher on the highway. If it was done right, the rear differential gears were swapped and the limited slip is still functional. The axles should all be SVX still.
I had a '97 Outback transmission put in one of my '92s and it worked great.
