I'm looking for a steering rack for my 91' SS. By any chance do you have the rack & tie rods available, and could you tell me about their condition? Thanks!

I bought a WRX trans under the assumption it was necessary for the trans to be from a car that had a hydraulic clutch. I was not able to find any substantial evidence that any 1:1 5speed would work, and was actually told by a parts locater(I did not buy it through one) that a WRX trans would bolt ri...

I sent an email to Rallispec and they informed that the necessary transfer shafts/gears can be had for $203. Hopefully this will finally end my transmission nightmares. I will update when I finally get it runing again.

output shaft ratios; 1.1:1 vs 1:1 and center diffs

I recently swapped the transmission in my 91 Legacy Turbo for that of an 01 WRX. Prior to the purchase I was unaware of the 1.1:1 ratio that I believe is due to the output shaft gears between that and the center diff. Please correct me if my assumption is wrong. I was planning on switching the cente...

About 15 minutes ago I attempted to install rear struts/springs from an 02' WRX on my 91' Legacy Turbo. If you read carefully, you would have seen attempted. The springs did not work as the 91 and I believe 90's had a tapered spring with a smaller tophat bolt pattern. I will look at them again tomor...

Our 5spds only have 10 parts??!! All mine are on my floor...

Perhaps there are a few more, but these transmissions are overall amazingly simple AWD units. Since I could not figure out what was wrong with my trans, not going into first, I decided to open the case and see for myself, taking many pictures all the way. I believe I have found my problems. 1. The 1...

I believe the reason your speedo is "off" at the end of a 1/4 mile run is because your trap speed is averaged over the last 66 ft. before the finish line. However if you do some math 6mph at the top end of the track does seem like a lot, so it is probably both.

I think I have eliminated part of the problem. The clutch's pp side was metal and rivots!! So I replaced it with a WRX Exedy. 120k on the original clutch is pretty good, but 120k for a trans' life would not make me happy. With the clutch installed, I drove the car, still no first gear. I can now shi...

Thanks Austin!! I figured something was being held up. I have never been able to find a diagram on how the clutch system works, I was waiting to tear it apart to find out how it operates and how to put it back together.

Transmission removal hangup...

I have recently engaged in removing the transmission to install a new clutch on my 91 Turbo Legacy, however I can only get the trans to seperate ~1/2" from the engine. All four bolts holding the trans to the engine removed, as well as the "pitch brace", probably not the correct name, ...

My car is a 91 Legacy Turbo 5spd with the pull type hydraulic clutch: I was driving about 65mph and attempted to downshift for a ramp, I tried to get the transmission into fourth gear, however it would not go, I gave it a little more force and then heard and lightly felt the gears grind, therefor st...
