Re: New Subaru owner with a transmission question.

To give an update, I ended up bringing home my transmission tonight, along with the rest of a car too. :lol: Drove my new '96 Legacy 100 miles to get it home and it did it pretty well. The transmission is about 120k miles old and needs a new input shaft bearing (or something like that; it was a mino...

Re: New Subaru owner with a transmission question.

A LSD is tempting, but I'm not really the racing type and I live in a relatively temperate area. :p The transmission has lost the higher gears. Reverse, first, and second work pretty well, third will grab but is hard to find, and fourth and fifth won't grab at all. I'm in Humboldt County, which is e...

Re: New Subaru owner with a transmission question.

The tires are 196/65/15, but one of the previous owners probably just got a better deal on those than they would have on the stock size.

Re: New Subaru owner with a transmission question.

Thanks a ton for the replies. :) Of the four forums I ended up posting on, this was the only one that answered my question. Canubaru, you said my final drive should be 3.9, but that chart says it's 4.111. I think the chart is going off manufacturing date since the chart lists the car as a 94 Outback...

New Subaru owner with a transmission question.

This is actually the fourth forum I've posted this question on as I keep getting pointed to other forums when I ask it. I don't think this is really the right forum for my question since my car is slightly out of the year range here, but I figured I might as well try since someone recommended it. La...
