That sounds like a good plan. Personally I'd have made the WRX trans work. The 3.54 gearing comes from the transfer gears, not the center diff. You could swap the transfer case, center diff, and transfer gears from your legacy trans into the WRX trans and it would give you the 3.9 gearing. As far a...

I'm going to get another ss 5mt and split the case. It has blown 1'st gear, but If I can practice on it and things go well, I'll drop my gears into that case and be on my way.

I updated the first post to give more info.

I was typing it from my not so smartphone.

Going to return the wrx trans. Didn't know about the center diff till just now. Looks like ill probably need a clutch fork and shifter forks. Are there any aftermarket ones I should be looking aat? Thanks

yea, thats what I thought. stock everything. I removed the heat shield and chimney. still hitting. looks like it will fit once it gets past the dp, but getting it there is a pita

The Wrx transmission didn't fit past the downpipe and turbo, which is a good thing because I would have run that trans with my stock 3.90 rear differential. I'm going to get my Legacy trans (5mt) split and hopfully the gears are ok. My trans fluid has a lot of little tiny gold sparkles in it with a ...

can anyone clarify the details about swapping stubs. do the 04's come with the correct axle stubs from the factory? do you have to split the trans to install the correct stubs? if so, how do you do that? thanks for all the info on this thread! my 91 needs a new tranny and I'm thinking it is worth th...

Keep on going man!

Your wagon is the best example of a 1st gen I've found yet.

makes me wish i had a garage and some more funds.

enjoying the build

AWESOME!

well, replaced the clutch and all the parts that go along with that, replaced the clutch master and slave cylinders replaced the entire linkage with new "link" piece and a wrx setup w/bushings the only thing that I can think it is would be a bent shift fork. how much $$ have you all spent ...

check you clutch fluid, might help the shifting issue. resurfaced the flywheel, changed the clutch, pressure plate, ect. master/slave cylinder were also changed. also all fresh trans/dif fluid and an oil change, and now i'm waiting on a wrx linkage to replace all the 20 year old bushings. I'm reall...

Are those VW wheels? no vw parts here. the story on these are that they came off one of the first wrx's to be imported to the us. They came on a red wrx at some performance shop in the Northeast. They've been passed around a couple times but there are suppose to be fairly rare. I herd 8 sets were m...

sounds like that may be the same type of issue I'm having. thanks so much for your story! we've got the trans out of the car. after a few hitches. I can't see anything wrong with any part of the clutch. My shifter bushings do look pretty beat up but none of them are missing. A friend and hell of a n...

the linkage seems ok, but i'll have to take a closer look.
internal damage??? that sucks, I havn't even pushed this car had yet.

1991 Legacy Turbo. 5mt. hydro clutch setup. 130k miles. never slipped or smelled clutch prior to problem. I was driving up to Bogus to go snowboarding. shifting from 2nd to 3rd under about 80% load (driving uphill, fast but not thrashing it). The move into 3rd felt sticky. did NOT hear or feel any p...

thanks, I think I like them too. bad news tho, last trip to bogus she developed a problem shifting into gear. hoping its just a slave cylinder. It isn't leaking but I'm now unable to click into any gear but reverse. any tips?

rolled to fit my new shoes
what cha think?

time to move some stuff around. Make a reasonable offer, I'm not in a hurry to sell but it would be good to make use of some stuff i have laying around. located in Boise, Idaho. stuff I got: 1 BNIB Defi Racer Boost gauge RED 1 BNIB Defi Racer EGT gauge RED (both come with all sensors/wiring/hoses) 2...

too bad the wheels are going on my friends impreza wagon. I was trying to buy them but he beat me to it. I am still looking for a good deal on some silver or gold bbs wheels in 5x100

should have the exhaust done on friday morning, hope it isn't too loud inside the car
