    Physically they are the same. I'm not sure about the gearing tho.
    1998 Legacy 2.5GT: Stock to turbo to stock, and given to my Dad, then to my sister that blew it up. Now I've repo'd it and it will once again rise to former glory!

    Re: BD transmissions

    Yes, but they might actually use a different AWD system (TCU controlled). That's my main worry...

    Re: BD transmissions

    stick with the same generation and away from anything that was behind a H6(there is something about VDC in there that hoses things up) and you wont have TCU issues, you need to make sure the diffs match tho.

    Re: BD transmissions

    Okay, well I found out that my diffs are 4.44. Would the BE be the same?
    Swapping rear diffs seems hard aka more money, so i'm looking for a transmission with a 4.44 ratio now
