BACK

 

Why thank you

 

I found a chart!

The chart states that 2000 Outbacks have a 4.111 final drive, so am I right in thinking that any Legacy product transmission between 2000-2004 with a 4.111 final drive would be compatible while any with a 3.900 final drive would not be compatible?

 

if you are thinking about something wilder in the back of your head,

http://www.subaruoutback.org/forums...gen-2-2000-2004/42029-wanted-information-about-subaru-s-5-speed-awd-system.html

but as they say in it,....dedicated trail vs. daily driver maybe mutually exclusive.

 

I think I will stick to good old stock parts.
I found a local 5 speed for $290 but its the 3.900 FD, damned it.

 

did you try the JDM importers

locally to LA they might have the best offerings?

I guess you could also get a short list off of local craigslists of part outs/ whole cars

like rust buckets driven from places like rural Colorado to UCLA / USC.

("California,
...where there is free edumacation, the ladies wear bikinis in winter, and the cars don't rust, "

....and the 2000-2004 rust buckets really stick out as something to toss when the head gaskets crap out).

 

I don't suppose you have the website to the jdm importers you speak of?

 

@Kitesurfer805 (last online on 2/28/16)


bought a EJ251 off one out there around LA. when he could not find a good candidate for head gasket work locally.

(

(he had started with some EJ20 and then took it back, )

here is the nice pic thread on that

I don't know if he ever posted a link or mentioned a name though.

and outside of you, the only other LA area member I know of is @Glennda5id

however:
googling JDM importers port of long beach, LA, California should yield what you are looking for.

 

mtx outback had the same final drive as legacy ?
I know atx don't

 

2.2 engine mt is 3.9
2.5.mt final is 4.11 98 - 04
2.5 at is 4.44 98-04.
You just need a 2.5 mt any subaru 98 -04

 

Thanks for the info.
So you are suggesting the chart I posted is incorrect?
It states 01-02 Outbacks are 3.9

 

I've not seen any chart suggesting the 01-02 mt are 3.9. There could be a varient. Have you looked up your tranny by vin? I'm not sure which digit in the vin represents the tranny.

 

Check out the PDF I attached in post #4 of this thread.

The trans code on my 2000 model 5 speed is TY754CACA which is a 4.111 FD, the local 5 speed for sale is TY754CBDA, which according to that chart is an 01-02 outback and has 3.9 FD.

How accurate this chart is I do not know.

 

USMB members may have more and better data carts,
( @grossgary is hanging there and has a real pension for such what can go into what swap....or have a source at hand or able to critique that chart.)

possibly on Legacy GT.com

or, Nabisco = Nasioc

maybe your best bet maybe to just buy off Car-part.com yards/ warehouses (there are a few others out there like that too).

 

I'd go with what eagle eye just posted and confirm that.

 

I just hit a JDM importer in LA while looking for something else:
