HELP A NEWBIE, trans interchang info needed

Hi to all,
I'm new to SVX's and just joined the forum.

I found a 92 SVX with low miles and a bad tranny. I searched the forum to find out if my spare trans from a 95 Legacy 2.2 auto, will fit and it looks like it might. It looks like I will have to change rearends also.

Before I buy the car I wanted to double check. Are the electrical connections the same? Do I have to do anything to the TCM? Which torque converter should I use(bolts are broken of on the Legacy's converter).

Any help would be appreciated, I really want to become a SVX owner.

Thanks in advance, Jeff

The electrical connections are the same, you'll need to swap the the mechanical speedometer cable for the electrical speed sensor on the SVX, It's right next to the front diff fill hole.

Use the SVX torque converter.

And yeah, you'll need the rear end from the donor and your SVX rear, then combine them into a 4.11 LSD that will take the stock SVX axles.
