outback tranny in to svx?

im still looking for a manual tranny for my svx thats not $2500.

i did find one out of a 2001 outback. . .$600 . . . i did some research and i belive its off of an EJ253 engine

and some 1 said any tranny off of a EJ series engine would work. is that true?

Also that year the outbacks weight was over 3000 pounds would that tranny should be strong enough?

It'll work....
Any EJ tranny will work, but you will need the matching rear diff to swap out the ring and pinion with your SVX rear diff...

As for strong enough, that all depends on how you plan to drive it....

Only the WRX and STi have the stronger gearsets....
but for normal driving any EJ tranny will work fine...I'm running a EJ18 Impreza Tranny in mine....
