newer trans wiring on old connector
i bought a 01 legacy trans for my svx and im screwed. all i wanted to use was the diff and pinion, but it turns out that the pinions are different. so now the only thing i can do is use the new trans but i don't have the tcu and wiring would be a mess. what i am trying to get at is, is there a way for me to use the tcu connector from the old trans on the new one? i was going to cut both connector and connect matching wires, but the only thing is there are more wires on the new one. Can i just connect the matching wires and hope for the best? I need facts though, last time i asked if i could use the diff and pinion i was told it should work, but guess what, that was wrong so please anyone with this knowledge please let me know asap.

Sorry I don't have any wire diagrams for 01 Subarus but Iwas just wondering, were you trying to get lower gearing for your SVX and what ratio is in the 01 tranny?

The only difference of the front diff is the gear ratio? Right? Change the diff and the rear diff to match. |

thre new ratio is 4.44 and i can't just change the diff cuz the pinion is different. are you sure i can't just forget about some of the wires or splice them together. also the old pinion is mutilated so i can't use any of it.
i also don't care if the trans will burn up in 50-60 thousand i want to put a 5speed in it anyway to get rid of this mess of automatics anyway Last edited by TomsSVX; 01-31-2004 at 08:52 PM. |

ok i did a little research and found that the 3 sensors are speed sensors but instead of having 3 duty solenoids 2 shfift solenoids the new one has 4 duty solenoids and 2 shift solenoids and 2-4 brake timing solenoid and a low clutch timing solenid. WHat do these do and could i hook up the new wires to the old harness????

You do know that you will have to replace your rear diff if you install this transmission, right? Just checking.

i know i would have to change the rear, if i had awd, i am blessed w/ the lighter and faster l series. also i want to know if the legacy transmission in 97 and 98 had the same pinion shaft as the 94 svx. therefore i can use the 4.44 gears i have, making it even faster.

You bought an awd transmission though...

Tom, as I'm pretty sure I told you in early January, you need a FWD transmission, unless you're somehow adapting the AWD tranny you bought to make it FWD. Simply not installing the prop shaft isn't going to cut it for a number of reasons.
As for the wiring, I'm going to agree with those before me who said you need the TCU for the tranny you bought. Still, I don't see how that tranny is going to work in the first place...

i have come to a new solution, as you have said numerous times, i cannot use the awd tranny and i have decided not to. Now all i need to know is can i get a pinion that will fit my 94 fwd that has 9 teeth for the 4.44 ring gear i have, all i needed was a new diff not a whole tranny.
by the way i believe i could have used the awd tranny if indeed i did remove the tail shaft and swapped out the rear gear on the input shaft for the new one w/ the old one and it would have worked. i tore down the trannies and took a look and it could have been done, if the tranny was not a phase 2. take a look next time u get a chance at urs |

From where do you get the information that this tranny is 4.44? That year legacy should be 4.11.
