I Donated broknindarkagain Posted December 24, 2011 Author I Donated Share Posted December 24, 2011 Yes but you have to change the clutch fork, slave cylinder, and clutch with it because push vs. Pull style clutches -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

30legacyl Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Will a STi or WRX manual tranny swap right in to our 2nd gens? What about the 6MT from the Spec-B? I heard it was an 'easier' swap somewhere....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TbirdMan Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Something to add, the 4EAT in the legacy GT has a 4.44ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slo-mo Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 newb question, will a 95 legacy L auto trans work in my 97 outback? Im looking to pick up a donor car and just want to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted May 30, 2012 Author I Donated Share Posted May 30, 2012 It will as long as you change the rear diff with it too. The L and Outback are different gear ratios.....so rear diff and transmission have to be done as a set. -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

seeking Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 4EAT under construction The 4EAT is the only automatic transmission available in the BD, BG, and BK Legacys. "EAT" stands for "Electronic Automatic Transmission". The 4EAT was released in 1988 for use in the Subaru XT6 and Leone Touring Wagon. In 1989 when the EJ engine was released, the bellhousing was changed to accept the newer engine, but for the most part the transmission stayed the same. The 4EAT has been used in the following Subaru models : 88 - 91 Subaru XT 90 - 04 Subaru Legacy 92 - 97 Subaru SVX 95 - present All Subarus The 4EAT design has been shared with a few other manufactures as well. Jatco designed the 4EAT, and has allowed Nissan, Ford, and Kia to use the same or very simular designs.  Gear Ratios 1st - 2.785 2nd - 1.545 3rd - 1.000 4th - 0.694 reverse - 2.272 Final drive ratios vary depending on year and model. The majority of final drive ratios are 4.11  Common 4EAT Problems & Solutions Torque Bind This is probably the most common 4EAT problem. This is the transmission getting stuck in a 50/50 power split now allowing for slippage in the center diff. Its usually caused by a faulty Duty C solenoid, however can sometimes be cured with a few "drain and fills" Here is the Part # for the Valve assembly (Duty C) for the BD5 JDM subaru. 31942-AA090 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiyo1990 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I hope this isnt going to be misplace...but I have heard about a 50/50 mod for the drivetrain. Is this harmful to the car at all? And how do you do it on a second gen. I havent had any luck on the search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zues Marine Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 ^im assuming you're running a 4eat, imo, the wear on your diff and trans stuff as well as the loss in mpg isnt really worth what you gain, especially when it doesn't actually get you to true 50/50 anyways, the way the TCU is set up is to distribute power to each end about 60/40 as soon as it detects tire slip.. if you're looking to make the auto more fun to drive, ground a pin on the tcu to change shift points and make it a sportier drive: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyfvholla Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 The 50/50 mod will do what zues said. It's totally worth it if you go off road a lot. It helps at speeds where you don't want to leave it in 1st or 2nd to keep it at 60/40 split. I would do the trans sport mode mod as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purebluedoor Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) so my 97 leggy sedan with the 4eat is pissing me off a lot. did the sport mode ground mod etc and its just weak, hard shifting from 2-3 (broke 200k mi yesterday) so on CL is a 4eat from a 03 WRX is this plug and play? http://denver.craigslist.org/pts/3772213723.html Edited May 29, 2013 by purebluedoor http://denver.craigslist.org/pts/3772213723.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
