_Є V Э_ Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Hi all, Been a long time reader, thought I would post up. I'm about to swap my 97 LGT's dead auto tranny for a manual one. My question is this: Is there a difference between tranny crossmembers for manual and auto legacys? Meaning, will I have to switch the crossmembers?

_Є V Э_ Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 ehh.... still working on it. Motor is pulled... working on trans. Pics up soon or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Є V Э_ Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 Well here is an update... Motor and tranny pulled. No engine hoist or tranny jack used... Made it interesting. Next up, tear out the dash and get the manual pedals installed. Also, pulled the rear diff and cross member. The stock ratio is 4.44. I am probably going to go with 3.90. http://i1100.photobucket.com/albums/g419/RallyRu/Photo0458.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
