WRX EJ20 into 99 legacy
Is this swap possible? The car I might be buying has an automatic; do all of Subaru's tranmsssions have the same bolt patterns? I'd like to be able to just swap in the motor, not have to change the trans.
TIA |

Of course it’s possible, same as the GC’s… I have an EJ20 in my 98 Legacy, swaps in like Lego’s. As for the transmission, it will mate to an EJ20 but are you sure you’d want to????

I have a EJ20 I'm about to put into my '99 Legacy.
Although my legacy is a 5 speed. My mechanic said the WRX 5 speed is stronger, and is a different type (push, or pull I can't recall the difference). That, and also the fact that when I ordered a heavy duty clutch, Rallitek gave me one that works with the WRX, not my current tranny. Instead of sending it back I decided it be better to just get the WRX tranny. Food for thought. |

IMO I would stick with the legacy 5MT. Lower gears=quicker |
