Yamarocket630 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Swapping the manual into the old leggy is pretty easy... I did the same on my 1990. Going manual > auto will be much more difficult, as a lot of wiring and ECU replacements will be required. FWIW, the 1993 4eater isn't going to be compatible with a 1998 TCM, and you probably wont get the 1993 TCM to work in the 1998 leggy. Furthermore, an EJ25 4eat leggy is a gutless turd. Just buy a trans, pedal box, clutch parts, shifter and driveshaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottlj Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 so basicly putting the tranny in the old legy will be easy.. but as for the lgt i should just go buy parts to make it an auto? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamarocket630 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Going manual to auto will be more work and more expense. You will need all the parts, i.e trans, shifter, pedals, etc, but you will also need a dash harness, engine harness, ECM, and TCM, gauge cluster, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yamarocket630 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Sell that manual car and buy an auto. 2nd and 3rd gen Leggy GT autos are a dime a dozen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottlj Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 so your sayin take the tranny out of mine and use it then sell the car with the transmission? and buy another legacy instead of installing the auto tranny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbone Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Yes. It doesn't make sense from a money standpoint to go auto or manual. Trade/sell and buy the car with the tranny you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubaruSVXCrazy Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I'm planning on buying a 1991 turbo legacy awd. But its an automatic. I would need to swap it out for a awd 5 speed tranny. What would I need to do this? Can I use a 90-94 legacy awd tranny or can I use a wider range? Is it easier than swapping an svx? What would be the parts list? Has anybody done it here before? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
