Tranny swappers - Outback donor tranny missing stub axle shafts??

I just picked up my 96 Leg. outback 4EAT today and noticed that it does not have the little stubs sticking out of the front differential. It looks like the rear differential does - you can see straight through it except for the pin going through the center.

Though all the swap pictures I see, the tranny has the stubs sticking out of the transmission. Do I just need to get some stub axle shafts and stick them in there or is something worse at work here?

Looking at my 4EAT service manual, it shows a stubby axle shaft for each side to be held in with some circlips, yet my new tranny has none....I"m thinking maybe the guy who pulled this from the OB forgot to pull the pins, and yanked on them until the CV came out with the axle shaft still pinned on.

wack away (actually you shouldn't have to wack. Let me know if you need some I'll try to get em out of one of the lawnmissions but they never seem to want to come when you're trying to take them out.

You could also just pop the ones out of your SVX tranny to use then replace them later...

I had a smiler problem with a trany on a wrx swap in my buddies legacy.
To fix it I had to disassemble the trany to put the c-rings on the inside of the haft shafts. This was on and JDM 5 speed so I think car it cam out of had different CV-joints on it.

Steve,

All you need to do is remove the stubs from your SVX tranny. I had the same situation when I did a tranny swap last summer. I had to ask the Subie dealer to make sure it was ok. All the 4EAT thannys have removable stubs. Here is the link to my locker, Stub pulling
It was an easy swap.

Enjoy
Steve
