I have a 93 turbo legacy sedan and i blew first gear out.. i found a tranny for cheaper than rebuilding but it is a non turbo model tranny. can i use the non turbo model tranny in my turbo model? please help!

This should help determine whether you have a compatible tranny: http://www.gearhack.com/myink/ViewPage. ... on%20Chart . My '94 TW had an AT to MT swap and the tranny code is the same as the one in my '95 impreza 1.8l coupe so I would think you are probably allright.

stock trans will be a 3.9 F/D and has a pull style clutch. most of the N/A legacys were 4.11 with a push style clutch. good luck.

As Rubasu noted, the turbo transmissions have a pull style clutch, which is different than the non-turbo setups. In addition, until about late 90's they use a cable setup vs. hydraulic. You could convert the cable setup to hydraulic or find a hydraulic non-turbo setup and keep your clutch master cylinder.

What year and model was the car that the transmission came from that you found?

It is coming out of a 94 legacy sedan

That's going to be cable operated transmission with 4.111 gearing. If you want to use that transmission, you'll also need to swap the rear diff.

I would also suggest converting it to a hydraulic clutch fork setup. I haven't done it before, but I think the issue might be is there a spot to mount the clutch slave cylinder. If the trans can't be easily converted to a hydraulic clutch fork setup, you'd need to swap the clutch pedal & brake assembly over to the cable setup....which in my opinion is a pain in the ass....and I'd keep looking for another transmission.
