With the BFGs on the fuel consumption is still ok. I usually get about 12L/100km. Mind you, I put the tyres on when I'm going off road, so my fuel consumption shoots through the roof off road. That sounds about right. My stock XT returns 11L/100km around town. Have you ever thought about getting yo...

Looks mean as frug, good stuff. What did the 1" block kit cost without being rude? And does that require a steering arm extension? Cheers, Tom. I can probably answer this one for him. If the price is the same as for MY09 then I'd say $225 + $75 US delivered. However you'd be better off looking for ...

That's the ideal setup in my books mate.
I'm assuming you have an Auto transmission.
How's the fuel consumption now that you are pushing the BFG's around town?

Dane, just out of interest... do you know if gen 1 sedan and wagon struts are interchangeable?

I've got a complete stock system you can have for a carton.

Unsure how you are going to get it to Melbourne though.

Let us know how you go with the gearbox swap.

No good VV. The transmission was a dud. Sounds like the diff is missing a tooth.

I have since bought another whole 1990 Liberty with a reconditioned transmission which I was able to test drive first.

Has anyone bought these cheap ebay kits before? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/90-98-2-2L-SUBARU-IMPREZA-LEGACY-HEAD-GASKET-SET-EJ22E-/400174418271?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5d2c41095f#ht_1881wt_1161 Local parts store want $250-$600 for an EJ22 VRS kit so $100 delivered from ebay lo...

Got one.

KTM300, if you have time to stalk me on an internet forum then you clearly have time to help me fit a new transmission.

Yes not too hard at all but ktm300 is still unhappy that I haven't corrected my gear ratios to compensate for bigger tyres. I guess there comes a point where I'd rather spend Weekends at the beach with my family in a nearly great Subaru then spending weekends in the garage working under a perfect su...

I think you need to take a teaspoon of cement and HTFU.

Maybe you should give up offroading, buy a Hyundai and play Golf.

Good wan. Now FOB.

Yes thanks, the PM didn’t work but I found his number and called him this morning. I will be picking up a stock standand transmission this weekend.

This is all too hard. One bloke swears a 95 Outback Auto will slip straight into my Liberty but then the crowd claims that I will also need to change drive shafts, rear diff and TCU. Honestly I just want the car driveable, I do 90 kilometers per day on the highway and occasionally drive it on the be...

If you found a transmission from a pre 1998 liberty/outback or even impreza (as long as it doesnt have an external oil filter) you should be sweet. Hi Gannon, I have been offered a 95 Outback auto transmission but the drive shafts look different to the Liberty where they enter the transmission. (ie...

Exactly as described in thread title.

Need an AWD Auto Transmission for a Liberty 89-94.

I am located in Queensland. Will pickup anywhere from Gold Coast to Rockhampton as I getting desperate.

There must be one out there somewhere !!!!!!

The hunt for a replacement Auto transmission for Liberty Valance is going nowhere quickly but I can get my hands on a 2.0L 98 Forester 5 speed dual range manual transmission. This appears to be a good option for correcting final drive gearing when running 27" tires with the bonus of a reasonable low...

Hang on, I have stuffed up here haven't I?
I should be looking for a 4.44 final drive to compensate for the big tyres, shouldn't I ???

Great info thanks. So the models you mentioned all have 3.9 final drive ratio and are essentially 'plug-and-play' with respect to TCU?

I have been having difficulties finding a replacement Auto transmission for my 1990 Liberty. A nice low km wrecked 2001 Forester has presented itself to me with the opportunity to purchase to Auto, TCU and rear diff. This sounds appealing as the 4.11 final drive ratio on the Liberty struggles with t...

Has anyone seen a Gen 1 Liberty GX Auto for sale under $500 ????
There must be one somewhere with a good auto tranny for me.....
