FWD 4eat compatibility

My transmission finally bit the bullet. Pinion bearings have busted and the transfer case is full of ATF fluid. I can hear bearings bouncing around, and the speedo has stopped working. I guess the gear got taken out. Amazingly it still "goes" but what a racket, and its pretty jerky.

So I need a new transmission. What year legacys have a FWD 4eat that is "plug and play", no harness/plug modifications required to hook it into my TCU and go? I'm looking at one from a 95 on Ebay atm. I may trade the car to a neighbor mechanic, but if I do he'll still need to know what transmission to put in.

Anything before 1998 from a Legacy/Impreza/SVX

The only possible difference would be in the speedo calibration (though probably not)
