If you have to get another cable 5spd, get one from a '97-'99 Legacy Outback. To the best of my knowledge the gear ratio is 4.11, but the trans is supposed to be stronger than the one in an Impreza.

the 97-99 legacy is a cable activated clutch???

We'll see how things go. Currently, they're calling for a 40% chance of rain in Cumberland, MD this Saturday and Sunday. If this weekend doesn't work, we'll probably have at it the next.

It looks like we'll be doing the trans and rear diff swap (from a '97 Legacy Outback) on my SVX at his place on Saturday April 23rd. We'll start shortly after Tom gets off work at 2pm and work at least until sunset (~8pm), before finishing up Sunday am.

There'll be beer, laughter and of course a trans swap in progress. Feel free to let us know if you might be in the area and want to pop in for a beer or two...or three or four...heck just take the whole case and go home!

-Chike
Chike,
Sorry, but I won't be able to make it - plans with the wife already.
But good luck on the swap! It was good meeting Tom at Reading! Wish you could have been there!
Later,
Harry

Does Tom's place has a garage? It looks like a rainy week and this coming sat/sun might have snow? Keep us updated. If I can make it, I'd love to drop by....

Due to ......insurance concerns at work, I can only use the shop, and wonderful back saving lifts, when I'm working on my cars, or Di's car or my kids cars, so unless I adopt Chi ke , the shop is available for "paying" customers only.

So, unless we go through more than EIGHT POINT SEVEN-FIVE thirty packs , Chi ke should be ahead.

Beer is on me. However, if the quantity ever approached that amount, I'd bring a keg and some bags of ice!

Date change: Weekend of 4/30-5/1

Looks like we're going to have to change the date of the swap due to weather. A cold front is moving in and bringing lots of rain and even some snow to the east coast this weekend.

Those who might be looking to attend, please PM me or SVXfiles for directions. We should probably meet up at Route 40 Auto Sales in Cumberland, MD around 1:30pm (Tom gets off work at 2pm) and then drive the 10 minutes to his house.
