Re: 4.44 gears
Or ask SVX FF who had installed 5 411's including two rebuilts, all to fail.

Re: 4.44 gears
Thanks for the clarification.
I've searched, and dug. Are there specific Tranny stickers, and Vins that I should be looking for? I talked with a salvage guy yesterday, and he was having a time just finding a ref to the car I should be looking for to get 4.44 I told him 4.44, but maybe he was lost, I dunno

The problem is that the 4.11's actually have one or more less clutch discs per set compared to the SVX while the 4.44's have the same amount. This is why the 4.11's just don't hold up from everything I've learned and heard... |

Re: 4.44 gears
Thanks. I'll focus on the 2.5 aspect while looking for Legacy. Too bad both of the 98 Outbacks already got gutted for drivetrains.

Re: 4.44 gears
On any trans that you look at, make sure it does not have the spin on trans filter or it will not be compatable.

Re: 4.44 gears
I'm going with 4.11 in mine simply because I have 4 or 5 of them laying around my shop. I've seen more 3.9 and 3.54 4EATs fail than the 4.11's. I think it comes down to where the car is driven.
I live in Alaska, so we have horribly cold weather in the winter and most subaru owners up here own them because of the 4 wheel drive and the need for it to get up their driveways. I believe the 3.9 and 3.54s failed more often up here because they are more of a highway gearing vs the 4.11 and 4.44. 4.44 has the tightest gearing so the trans has to actually work less than a 3.54 ratio trans on the same grade of hill as an example. Not to mention the engine working harder also. Keep in mind, thats just what I've seen being one of the few Subaru mechanics in the town I live in. I have a early 98 Forrester trans on the floor in the shop, wondering if I should swap that out with one of the 4.11's I have so when my trans I just installed fails, I have the 4.44 to go in it. LOL |
