I bought my 94 legacy turbo a couple of months ago, i bought it with the tranny out of it.
I picked the car up cheap(500 canadian), because the original tranny was out of it. The original tranny was seized, but the guy had just bought another 5 speed for it and was trying to save money to get some one to put it in for him. anyway i picked it up and i just bought a clutch (ACT) and i was getting it already to put back in and then i noticed that the clutch fork was different its a cable system mine is hyd, can i just change the housing so my hyd system will fit and so will my clutch that i just spent a ton of money on or should i just look for another tranny??

The car is worth it its sports sedan fully load aswell

The turbo tranny and n/a legacy trannies are different. Not to mention different gear ratios. So unless he got a 5spd tranny from an early impreza with 3.9 gearing, you're going to need another tranny.

Or another rear differential.

4.11 diffs are pretty common.

The tranny swap worked, it was super easy.
