97 Impreza 2.2l tranny, will it work?

[Tim]

Hey Guys,

I'm talking svxfiles parts guy and he has the 97 impreza 2.2l outback transmissions. Can we use those for our svx's? What gear ratio are they?

[Chiketkd]

Yes, it will work - the gear ratios are 4.11.

My former 4.11 trans was from a 2.2L '96 Impreza Outback Sport.

You'll need a rear diff from a 4.11 Legacy though - the ones from the Impreza are tiny and won't match up to our axles or accomodate the limited-slip hub.

Thanks I believe I will be placing the order tomorrow

Is this a brand new tranmssion?
What other parts have to change?

[Tim]

I think the only other thing you need are the seals, screen filter, and pan gasket, as well as gear oil for the rear diff

[freak customs]

would it matter if it's from an obdII car?

I think this is a great way to go instead of getting a rebuilt tranny from Subaru or anyone else. I can't use a manual tranny in my commuting. There are some days when my left leg would just die.

So I am just checking again. Does the drive shaft or tranny mount have to change? Any extra pieces to add in?

91 Legacy is okay?
