Replacement Engine - Transmission
Just had to have the engine on my 92 LSL replaced at 260k miles. Somewhat disappointed, as I had always had the oil changed every 2k miles.
Found a used engine, seems OK. The question I didn't ask was if there are any other engines that are a good/easy replacement when this one fails? I don't think there are many left out there. The same question occurs to me about the transmission, which I've had rebuilt/replaced twice. Is the Impreza transmission interchangeable? I also vaguely remember that the first two SVX had manual transmissions, and there was a shop (perhaps in Oregon?) that did swaps from automatic to manual. Does anyone have info or thoughts on this? TIA |

There is a ton of info on this site about which manual transmissions will fit and what's required to do the swap. There's one thread in the How To link above, but there are many others under Technical and Mods.
