98legwag Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Question for the more knowledgeable, if I get a LSD from a 3rd gen GT manual, will it use the same cv axles as my 98 2.2l 4eat? The final drive should be the same. Reason I ask is my rear diff and or inner cv joints are making some noise. I have ordered cv axles but figure I might as well upgrade the diff if I can find one local. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98legwag Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Anyone? I plan on replacing the axles and maybe the diff this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twisty Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 the axles are listed as different part numbers on opposed forces b12: http://opposedforces.com/parts/legacy/us_b12/type_20/suspension_and_axle/rear_axle/illustration_2/ b11: http://opposedforces.com/parts/legacy/us_b11/type_47/suspension_and_axle/rear_axle/illustration_2/ the b12 is the 3rd gen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98legwag Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Yeah, I knew they were different part numbers. Thanks. But I just found someone on SLI who used an 05 VLSD in a 98 and used his stock 98 axles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesleySands Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 So I have a question, and I apologise if this has been covered elsewhere. The Haynes manual for our cars calls for 80w-90 gear oil, yet on this site it calls for 75w. Is this dependant upon what you use the car for? Or is there other factors which determines the oil weight? Thank you for any insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I just found someone on SLI who used an 05 VLSD in a 98 and used his stock 98 axles. Well, I put a rear diff from an 09 Legacy 2.5i in my 98 wagon this past week end. The 98 axles worked.

Zues Marine Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 dang i didnt realize the f/d stayed the same that late into the model years.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98legwag Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Yup. Before I bought it I did my research to make sure the final drive was the same. The 4th gen 2.5i 4eat is 4.11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teastman911 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I have a 96 legacy gt 2.5L. When I turn the car on my at oil temp flashes 16 times. And I have torgue binding at low speeds turning. Is it my duty c solenoid going bad? Cuz fwd works fine when I put the fuse in and the transmission works fine. But if it's in awd it seems like it won't shift into 4th or 5th gear? Can someone please help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

93ej22 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Are you planning to finish the 6mt swap section soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96Wags Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Does anyone have information on the RWD Conversion Centre Diffs Sold by PPG? given that all the transmissions are swappable I'd imagine they would fit, however in the sticky for the 5MT it says that the 96 box was a bit different.

OZ00MS2.2 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I have a 96 legacy 2.2 automatic tranny. I haven't gone underneath to look at the numbers but I need to replace my transmission. well technically the transaxle but anyways I wanted to know besides going MT what would be a really good AT for the 2.2? or anything helpful related to that area would be appreciated since Ill be doing the labor myself.

cdclopper Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 New here. I'm a little confused about the 5T interchangability. Specifically, I have a 97 5 speed. Which years are interchangable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
