Re: 5mt writeup... Finally done
Depending on what year the wrx box is out of, meaning if it is a push clutch, you can convert the trans to accept a cable actuator

Re: 5mt writeup... Finally done
no cable activated Legacy had 4.44's, only some of the 4EAT's....there are a few 4.44 5-speeds, but only in Turbo cars, which all have hydraulic clutch set-ups....so you need to take the numbers off the sticker on your tranny next to the starter and determine what gears you're actually running....

Re: 5mt writeup... Finally done
Oh no what have i done! The reason why i am doing this is because my legacy tranny locked up on me not to long ago and my svx has been down for more then 2 weeks now. I freaked-out and went out to buy a wrx tranny thinking it would be an upgrade! I didn't know that it is actually a down grade. I believe the wrx tranny I have is a push type that has the hydraulic slave that pushes away from the firewall. So should go out and find another legacy tranny to save me the trouble?

the normal wrx is about 3.9 geared if you have a hydrolic clutch already, which it seems you do then you just need to change the gears in the rear diff to match the trans you bought. Or if the wrx is 04 it might actually use 3.54 rear gears like the stock svx diff, find one and swap it out and done. |

Find another Legacy transmission. If you can find the ID number from yours, post it up, and I'll be able to tell you what will work.

Re: 5mt writeup... Finally done
Thank you guys. This sucks but its a lesson learned . I will pull my old one out soon and let you guys know the out come. So the new transmission, does it need to come from a Legacy or Legacy GT? Between what years also? Thanks

Re: 5mt writeup... Finally done
We will need to determine just what exact transmission you have first, before saying what you need to get one out of....post the numbers off the sticker by the starter on the bell housing, you can see it by just opening the hood....then we can find out what gearing it has, and recommend what to get a transmission out of

Re: 5mt writeup... Finally done
Holy thread necro!
Haha, best of luck with the swap. Did you actually find a 5 speed with 3.54 gearing in the front diff?

Re: 5mt writeup... Finally done
Do you have the transmission code so I can look up the full list of ratios? How much are they where you live?

Re: 5mt writeup... Finally done
V won't be a lot of punch off. The line but good gas mileage and top end. I am not sure what the WRX 2002 I have. But mine feels perfect. Think I remember 3:90

Re: 5mt writeup... Finally done
USD 2002 WRX should be 3.90/3.545.
