The only thing I know about suby transmissions is that I want one for my eg33 conversion. What model should I buy? What should I expect to pay, Where should I look? Blah, blah, blah.
Thanks in advance! |

I believe you are going to want an 02-04 WRX tranny. It can handle the torque of the eg33. A stock forester or outback tranny from a 4 cylinder won't cut it. Axle wise there are some difference's. Also I think a 97-98 out of an RS can handle it too. An STI 6 speed would be sweet but I think there is maybe a 2 year window there that would work. Sorry I don't know this all that well. This is what I've gleaned from reading up & talking with my buddy Ian at Coldwater.

I plan to use just about everything he sells so I'll give him a pm to see what he might already have in stock. thanks |
