so i exploded first gear in my 93' legacy ss 5mt...i had a spare 4:11 trans out of a 98 outback and a 00 rs lsd diff sitting around. im fairly certain front axles will work no problem. i believe i match the rear axles to the diff. What im unsure of is the push vs pull, not sure what ive got actually and what drive shaft do i use if i need to change anything? any help is appreciated

Hi,
There's another thread on here w/the same info in the last couple of months...Search should turn that up for more specific info.....

The SS is a PULL; OB is a PUSH type. You'll need to replace the pinion flange on the rear diff w/your '93 as the '95(?) + style has a different bolt pattern. You 'might' be able to use the back half of '95+ driveshaft??

You'll need the FW/Clutch/PP/TO bearing/clutch fork for the OB trans. I don't know if you can reuse the SS' clutch master and slave cylinders....doubt it.

Be aware your Speedo will be off.

GL,
Td

This might be the thread Todd was referring to.
