Tranny Differences
Can anyone tell me the differences between the SVX AWD and a Legacy or Impressa AWD. I have both and they look the same. Why would the Legacy not work with the SVX? I don't really want to install it first to find out. I would appreciate your knowledge on the subject.

The SVX is the only Subaru to use a 3.545 final drive.

Like the lads say, you have to match the final drive. Then they will work. I'm not certain they have exactly the same internal ratios. I had a Legacy Twin Turbo with the 4EAT. Final drive was 4.11. Third and overdrive top [4 ratio] was the very same internally as the SVX, but I have the impression that the 1 and 2 ratios may have been lower than those in the SVX. Well, at least they felt a lot lower, and our SVXs over here use 3.7 final drive. I find the 3.7 final drive relaxing, bordering on sleepy. Your 3.5 final ratio must be Rip Van Winkle. If you want your svx to haul ass, I figure changing to a 4.11 final is a must. Get a 4.11 to match the Legacy box you have, it should be a big improvement. Joe Joe
