5mt queery? cable or hydro
I am looking for a new trans. Mine has not detonated yet but I will need one in the short future.
My question is this. What make model and year Subaru's had either a cable or a push style hydro activated clutch with 4.11 gears. I wanna find a good one with low mileage and need somewhere to start. Thnx for any info. Tom |

Hey bud... It's "query." Some people might get the wrong idea.

If your intent is to use this tranny with LAN's SC, then you should be considering either a late model 5MT that can accept STi RA gears (hydro clutch), a very late model WRX tranny (2003+ that has beefed up gears), or you should be considering a 6MT.

Over on the www.legacygt.com and www.subaruforester.com forums no member has reported breaking a 5MT on a 2.5GT or Forester XT. I'm not sure if this is the exact same 5spd in the '03+ WRX, but Subaru's marketing info says it's stronger to deal with the extra torque from a turbo'd 2.5L engine.

The part numbers for the FXT gears and the '03-'04 WRX gears are identical, so its fair to assume that with the exception of the diff ratio, the FXT and '03-'04 WRX trannies are identical. The FXT can handle more power because the 4.444 final drive reduces the stresses on the gears by 13%. If someone doesn't mind the higher rpms associated with using the FXT tranny, then that's a good choice too.
The '05 Legacy GT gear ratios are identical to the STi non-RA gear ratios, so its a fair bet that the gears in that car are STi non-RA. Those gears are probably about as strong as the '03-'04 WRX gears. And again, the '05 Legacy GT has a 4.11 diff ratio which will reduce the load on the gears by about 5%. This tranny would be a good choice too if you could find one. I've heard some discussion about the '05 Legacy GT case being stronger, but I haven't seen any proof yet. Someone mentioned that Subaru was using a girdle, but I've got a '05 Legacy GT brochure that has a full page picture of the '05 Legacy driveline, and there's no girdle on the tranny. Maybe Subaru didn't put it in the picture. Maybe its just a rumor.

what about the clutch operation? hydro push or pull? cable? I really don't want to change up my pedals.

90-94 legacys NA are 4.111 with the cable setup, but as said in this thread: http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/showthread.php?t=25672 You can convert at least some hydro pushers to cable pushers.

<<y not use hydro?? cuz i don't wanna make new pedals and drill holes in my firewall.>>
with any manual conversion of the SVX, your going to have to drill holes in the firewall. I used a cable clutch and I just had to drill one hole. If your using hydro clutch, you have to drill at least one also. |

I see, why do you have to make pedals? Does the hydraulic setup not fit? What part is wrong?

I think we may be miscommunicating. I understand there is a difference between hydro pedals and cable pedals. I was asking why you have to MAKE the pedals, instead of being able to buy them.
