started and finished the swap today with out a hitch
those bloody autos are huge and heavy!
drives good, feals much quicker.
5th gear at 80kmh = 2000rpm, better mpg here i come! (except for all the taking off i do now :lol: )
the tranny i got was out of a 96 legacy outback with a 3.9 still
cruse works, key comes out, no revese lights yet have not got to that.
only thing i noticed is that it take a second or two to start now (yes i used the 5mt starter) any ideas?
