Problems with tranny swap

[Dherzog88]

So I just swapped a 90 fwd tranny for a 95 awd tranny in my 1990 fwd legacy wagon and i have third and 4th gear. 1-3 can be achieved by manually shifting and it won't upshift on its own in Drive, my speedometer also decided to stop working after the swap, I was wondering if anyone else has had this same problem before any help would be much appreciated thanks!

Are you positive the tranny was good before you replaced it? Or did you buy it used but someone said it worked? Also I think that the VSS on the 95 changed, so it might not be compatible with your speedo.

Which TCU are you currently using?

Welcome to the BBS.

You need to get the speedo working. The engine & trans computers will do some very weird things if the speedo doesn't work. Check the base piece where the speedo connects to the trans. It typically goes bad and is pretty inexpensive to replace.

Well we left a piece in the old tranny that we needed for the new one to make it work but we pulled it out and I still have to put it in the new one, yeah I got it from a pick n pull yard and it works, And thank you for the welcome I'm going to find out what tcu is being used.

it does convert to cable speedo but I just forgot the spacer. Sorry I forgot to include that

So is the speedo working now?

[Dherzog88]

I'm not in town at the moment but I will be soon and will try that out

[Dherzog88]

So fixed the speedometer and in that my transmission works now, I was wondering does anyone happen to know where to get a inline transmission filter its located by my radiator I went to orieleys and they didn't have one, so any suggestions where I can pick one up at or if a generic one would work for my car?
