You need 1. AWD transmission 2. AWD SVX rear subframe including hubs, etc. 3. AWD SVX TCU 4. rear differential 5. driveshaft and i'm probably forgetting something like i usually do... try searching though |

Of course the rear and trans need to be matching.

Re: Converting a FWD TO AWD
Are you converting the green SVX or the red SVX?

Re: Converting a FWD TO AWD
Green one .... Red one still has a blow head gasket among other things. Hopefully a 4.44 swap.

Re: Converting a FWD TO AWD
get a partial rebuild from LAN (ECUtune). It may prove a little cheaper, and the transmission is sure to be better than an OEM one or a junker.

Re: Converting a FWD TO AWD
Explore your options. you can get a trans for cheaper then that out of earlier subaru. The labor for a swap shouldn't be 2k+
