who is running a legacy trannie
i'm getting ready to drop a legacy 4.11 4eat trannie into my svx and swap the rear lsd to 4.11 my question is my local subaru specialist who has an svx and a turbo legacy swears up and down that a legacy trannie won't hold the power of an svx i think with some extra maintance it wouldn't be a problem but i was wondering if any one had more experance with this, also should i get a shift kit put on the trannie?

4.11 is for the 5 speed and 4.44 is for the auto if Im correct. Had mine in for 8 months (1996 Subaru Legacy Outback trans) and have had no trouble out of it.

You shouldnt have any problems as long as the trans is in good shape. Better geared for the SVX to get moving anyway.

A 4.11 or 4.44 tranny will hold up BETTER than a stock tranny due to the lower gears causing less stress on the tranny, which equals less heat, which equals longer life.
