Gear box help, plz

[khunsa]

Hi, I need to put a new gearbox in my 89 rs legacy/liberty, and i was thinking about putting an sti gearbox in it, would it fit without any modification or hassel? Help would be appreciated! Cheers!

PS. Ill post the version sti it was off of, later.

Yes the version definately makes a difference. Assuming the final drive and everything is the same it'll pop right in no problem. If however the final drive is different you'll have to change the rear diff. As far as the actual mounting of it, it's all the same. I'm assuming this isnt a 6 speed.

Its a version 3 gearbox, Wot about the diff ratio for 89 rs legacy? IM told the sti gearbox is 4.444. CHeers!

if the STI box is indeed 4.44 you will need a rear diff that works w/it. the original diff is probably not a 4.44. it is probably a 3.90 or a 4.11.
