The important thing is that you obviously know the whys and wherefores and will not be taken for a ride.

A 97-98 4EAT Legacy will always be 4.11, only the Legacy GT and Legacy Outback had the 4.44's that you need.
Some Foresters too, but I'm not sure they have the correct size diff

WITH THE 4EAT automatic transmission, from 1996, 1997, and EARLY 1998 have the swapable trans. If you get a stick, or a later transmission, they wil not work.

 But like I said, I got the right parts now... I just need to repair the binding I've got. I wonder if I brought it to Subaru, they'd be able to fix it... "no, uh really, just pretend you're working on a '96 Legacy Outback!" (Actually, the parts guys at my local dealership know all about this tranny swap since I'm in there buying up-pipe gaskets once a month for my WRX and I've mentioned it.  )

Subaru kept the 4.44 in the trans, but if the trans has a spin on oil filter on the left side, above the pan, behind the bell housing, it will not work with our stock SVX TCU. This is what we know now. Things are subject to change. More later.

and as the version I 4eat's get older, we need to find a way to wire up the version II 4eat's. I am still looking for a solution for this delema. If I ever have some more free time I will divulge some of it into disecting the service manuals I have for both
Also worth noting, I believe the version II 4eat's have the VDT center diffTom

What is weird is our 98 Outback has the old style tranny (no spin on filter) and it's build date is 4/98, which makes it a late 98 model...but still has the older trans in it.....  Basicly just saying, that it may have the old or new trans no matter when it was built if it's a 98....just have to look for the spin on filter to determine.

I figured I'd bring this thread back to life instead of making a new one.
At work we just swapped out the motor and trans in one of the sales guys 97 Legacy Outback with a JDM drivetrain. His original motor had almost 200K miles on it and just blew a head gasket. After installing everything the car now shudders badly when you pull away, either in a turn or straight line, makes no difference. It does it only in first gear, and if you put in the FWD drive fuse and kill the rear wheels, all is smooth. So, my question is, what sort of diff ratios did the JDM cars have? I think the motor is either a 95 or 96. I have the codes off both transmissions, but they're at work. Both are TZ102..something something...but end with different letters. One ends with CBA (I'm pretty sure) and the other is something different.

JDM autos are often 4.11 ratio...
