I just wasted my clutch, and my tranny is going down hill fast. With 240k miles on the original clutch and trans, it was time for a refresher. I picked up an OEM Subaru friction disc (excedy) and got a Carquest Pilot bearing and throwout bearing. I also picked up a turbo trans off a forum member. Today when a friend of mine and I went to the shop to swap it all over, we got the old trans out of my 93 n/a wagon and put it on the bench to inspect it, and swap sopme parts over. I then found out the trans I got has a different clutch fork then my 93 trans.

The clutch fork from the new (to me) trans is made of cast metal with one hole on top, and the one from my 93 is is made ofa stamped sort of metal with a few holes on the top where it sticks out of the case. Another difference is the new trans uses a dowel pin and screw in plug as a pivot point, where the 93 trans that came out of the car uses a spring clip and ball as a pivot point.

I need to do something, as my old trans has serious synchro issues, and will no longer stay in 4th gear. Can I split the cases, and inspect and swap over all the gearing and run it that way? Is one trans a cable type (assuming the n/a trans would be this type, since I removed CABLES to get the trans out) and the other a hydroulic type?

Please help, I need to drive this car accross the country next month and would like to complete this asap.

you need to buy a pull style pressure plate, throw out bearing, slave cyl and disk to use that trans. plus convert your car to hydraulic clutch, which isnt fun because the holes for the clutch master need to be drilled, unless its a factory turbo wagon

Yeah.... the turbo & non-turbo transmissions are different, and will also have different final drive ratios. So in addition to the stuff Mikey mentioned above, you'd need to swap rear diffs.

My suggestion would be to try and find a non-turbo tranny to use.

booooooo Thanks for the help. Ill do that.
