'93 Legacy Turbo Tranny?
Anyone know the gear ratio for a '93 Legacy Turbo tranny? Will it bolt up?

3.90's Auto
and pretty sure the manual is also 3.90's on them... Yes, it will bolt up...but you'll need the rear diff too...

Huck would be correct. Not so sure what you'd need to do to the rear dif though as some were LSDs already but it looks quite different if I remember correctly. If its an auto tranny, I'd shy away from it they definately had a higher number of failures than did the non turbo legacy turbo trannies.

90's Legacy Turbos
Ive owned three legacy turbos, two 94 Touring wagons and a 93 SS, and the trannies were mint, never had an issue. Of course maintenance is everything. I also owned two non turbo gen. 1 legacys, a 91 sedan and a 93 wagon. Amsoil ATF is the best.

Yay, an instance where me having been a Legacy-nut helps!
The ONLY year that got rear LSD was MY91, and ONLY the Sport Sedan. That being the US market, of course. Elsewhere it was different as there were more models of the Legacy. The SS was introduced in '91 with an LSD, and it was removed for '92-'94. So if you're looking for a transmission, go for '91. There was no turbo in '90 so yeah. |

The 3.90 LSD unit from the Legacy Turbos will NOT work with the SVX axles...so it's still requires swaping the gears

Pretty sure the early Turbo Legacys still had the stubs sticking out of the rear diff, so it would require both rear axles, or swapping the gears.

Or the fact that it was a slightly different transmission with lower gears so it like the SVX would have heat up issues and flow problems.

I have just never heard of a MY92+ having LSD. Only the MY91 turbo. |
