Have I found the 4.44's ?
Hey guys, long time Suby nut who just got his first SVX. Actually my wife bought it for me while I was out to sea as a surprise.
Its a '92, originally green met., but now a purple with a blue flip-flop (or is it blue with a purple flip-flop?). Very clean car, no real damage, no rust, all the little toots and wistles work (aside from the trans), nice leather and suede. The windshield is cracked and the passenger door glass is busted out (someone took the radio), but the owner gave my wife a new windshield with the car. I just need a door glass. Me, I am in LOVE!...with my wife too of course I thought about a manual swap at first, but after reading a lot about trany's for SVX's on this site, I have decided to find and swap in a 4.44 4EAT. I really want to drive this car a lot, and so does my wife (who doesn't like stick-shifts too much), and it is a much easier swap to do. I found two Outbacks in the local U-PULL-IT yard today, a 96 and a 97, I also saw a 96 Legacy L sedan with a 2.5 (with a 2.5? in a L model? isn't that kinda odd?). I think the outbacks are what I need for the 4.44 gears. The part #'s for the trany's are right on top aren't they? I have pics of both of them, if these are the #'s. Is there any way to be absolutely sure? One car has a thrown rod, the other was t-boned hard, so both trany's were most likely operable when they stopped. One has 230K, the other 190K. The trany's will be $75.00 a piece, the rear diffs $35 each (minus 20% for military!) with 30 day warranties. So needless to say, if they are 4.44's I will get them all. So what does everyone think? The right Stuff?
