Will a 99impreza L trans mate up with 02-06 wrx engines?
I searched for this and didnt pull up any info maybe my wording is bad.
I beleive it will mate up no problem with it, i just want to be sure before i go ahead and start the swap train rolling. I dont plan of launching ever or downshifting rough on it all. the motor will probally be stock for the most part(exhaust,intake, and thats probally it untill i get a better tranny) Would the L transmission hold the power for daily driving with a good clutch setup reliably? sorry if this has been answered a thousand time just checking my p's and q's

From what I understand the L's transmission is almost structurally identical to the rs transmission minus the gear ratios, and I've heard of plenty people running RS transmission for a ton of miles. I think Zephyr has over 200,000 on his, just don't drive like a tool and you should be fine. I'm not sure if the L gearing is optimal for the power band of the 205 though.

I am also in the Huntsville area and looking to do put a 02-06 WRX engine in my 99 Impreza. Is it implied that the new engine your looking at includes a turbo? I was wanting to add a turbo to whatever I end up doing, but saw your question about the transmission holding up to the power so I didn't know. Are you buying the motor brand new? Lots of questions, I know. I am still in the planning stages..

i dont think you have too much to worry about. the gear ratios arent that far off from the year model WRX you are talking about. Your 1-4th gear are just slightly longer than the wrx. The gearing is actually almost identical to an older JDM WRX. get an STI 6MT soon. it is soooo good.

The L tranny has a smaller input shaft. Stock power should be OK.

It will mate up, i literally pulled out an 03 wrx motor off my L tranny and just put in a 257 block. No fitment problem.

Thanks for all the useful information, this has eased my mind quite a bit on the suituation.
I do plan on getting at least a wrx 5sp when i do start modding for more power and if funds can swing it def a 6sp |
