I have a 94 legacy Turbo. I have 2nd and 3rd gear syncho's replaced and they went bad again...also down shifting is a pain. So...I did a transmission flush and ran Synthetic trans fluid. Still a problem...I'm tired of fighting this. I am going to go pick up a new transmission.
Which Subaru manual transmissions line up and are easily swapped on these 94's?

Re: Transmission swap question.
Any transmission that was bolted to an EJ series engine will work, up through the mid/late 00s (when they went away from using a speedo cable).
02-05 Wrx is the closest match, you can reuse almost all your setup. You'd need the rear diff and rear axles tho.

Re: Transmission swap question.
You can avoid the rear diff swap on a wrx transmission by swapping out your ss transfer and extension housing. The wrx uses a 1.1:1 transfer gear which is why they have a 3.9 front and 3.54 rear. by, and using the ss 1:1 transfer gears you eliminate this problem.
