Transmission Fitment for a newer legacy

Post by 94SS_Canada »

The legacy is a 5 Speed 1999 EJ25 Brighton.

It is a cable actuated clutch.

The Transmission is 1998 2.5 RS transmission with rear diff.

What do i need to make this work?

an ej25 brighton? you sure?

you'd need the hydraulic clutch pedal box, clutch fluid resevoir, clutch line, slave cylinder and clutch fork if they did not come on the tranny, rear axles if that diff is a vlsd.

Dont believe the Diff is VLSD, i do have the pedals laying around somewhere. The legacy is the low level Brighton but with an EJ25 i know it is. Ill head over to pick n pull...

Wouldnt you also need the rs25 flywheel aswell?

Are the drive axle splines the same too?

and what is the FD?

Would you need the rear diff aswell?

You'd need all of that if you wished to switch over to a hydro clutch setup. You don't have to though. You could just swap out the clutch fork and cable bracket between the transmissions and call it a day.

no

yes

legacy final drive is 3.90, 98 rs is 4.11

yes, you'd need the rear diff too.
