02 Subaru Impreza 2.5 TS transmission compatibility
Ok guys, I've been looking for a donor car for a transmission for my 1992 svx for a while now. I happened to pick up a wrecked 2002 Impreza 2.5TS this morning for a sweet $375. I've done quite a bit of reading/searching on the subject but information on which exact model transmissions work is confusing and difficult to confirm. Does anyone know if this transmission will work or can be made to work? Parts-swapping, wiring, and clearancing with a dremel (as I've heard may need to be done on some rear ends) are no problem for me, just need to know if there's any major reason it can't be made to work with a little effort. I will have the whole car so even if I need to hack wiring that's no problem.
If it doesn't work, no big deal, I'm sure I'll get my money out of that car one way or another. Thanks in advance. |

It's automatic. Why not? Computer/wiring differences? Or physical/mechanical problems?

Re: 02 Subaru Impreza 2.5 TS transmission compatibility
Computer and wiring are different, also the rear end will not accept the SVX axleshafts, and the rear axleshafts from the 2.5TS will not bolt into the SVX rear hubs. This means to get the correct gear ratio you would have to have the ring and pinion swapped from the 2.5TS diff into the SVX diff to match the transmission.

The phase II 4EAT has been installed successfully before (Hocrest's I believe) but does require some wiring mods as I recall...
