wagdaddy Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I just had to make a mad dash to lv for surgery and my auto tranny went out on the way there. its a 95 legacy L 2.2 . Does anyone know what years will fit in my car and how hard it would be to convert to a manual? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97400obw Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I'd stick with the auto, changing to a manual would take a lot of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnumber19 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 If you went to a manual you would need to full driveline, the final drives are different between the auto and manual and the rearend has to match. The autos came with a 4.11 and a 4.4, pretty sure yours is the 4.4. The manuals got a 3.90 final drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The autos came with a 4.11 and a 4.4, pretty sure yours is the 4.4. The manuals got a 3.90 final drive. nope, the 4.44 was only in the auto trans 2.5L cars 95 - 99. the 4.11 was in the auto trans 2.2L cars 95 - 99 AND the 2.5L 5 speeds 95-99. the 3.9 was only in the 5 speed trans 2.2L cars 95 - 99. one exception to the above is the 96 outback 5 speed, it has the 4.11 of the 2.5L cars but the engine actually a 2.2L. just an odd duck. hope this helps.

subikid90 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 AT to MT swap is not hard if you are mechanically inclined and have a weekend and a friend to help. I just posted pretty much a full writeup in another thread. I will find it and post you the link. -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnegg Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 FYI it is also recommended, although not required, that you have the entire 5 speed car. way too much stuff to pull from a yard and get it all right on the first try. having the other car means you have everything you need on hand.

subikid90 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 ^this is very true. If not source all of your parts first. There are many list of parts needed laying around here. -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KuNomn Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Rebuild it! then post an incredibly detailed write up with step by step instructions and pictures so I can rebuild by 4EAT to make some moneh. No not really. I recommend replacing with a like transmission. Don't consider the conversion unless you've got time, tools, skils, friends, and a donor car.
