Junkyard 91 Legacy Turbo 5mt q's?
Posted: Sun Nov 20, 2005 2:20 am
I just scooped up a 91 turbo tranny in a JY with 172K on it, plus necessary goodies for my swap. I've solved any compatibility problems with my '93 wgn, but I'm not sure yet if I have a hunk of iron or a nugget of jy gold.
I'm sure it'll need a new gearset, but I haven't read much on the longevity of the center and front diffs in these, not to mention the internal case condition.
Can anyone enlighten me on what I'm looking at to have it rebuilt. It seems to shift OK, though rough between 3rd an 4th. I don't know if a static jy shift test tells me anything.
I don't want to go crazy with expensive gearsets, though a better than stock set might be worth doing. I can get a stage 1 clutch and lightened flywheel for about $600 total, but just a rebuild may already break the wife's budget.
Any advice would be appreciated. (not about the wife)
