The AUSubaru.com.au Forums

Hello,

I'm a newbie to this forum (and various others) , but have been around USMB for a few years!

I'm in Moab, Utah, USA and currently have an OB strut-lifted '95 Legacy (liberty?) 5MT, a FOR strut-lifted 93 Impreza (4EAT), and a revived '80 brat (brumby?)...

I've been trying to sell thebrat for a few years here, unfortunately not a lot of interest

AND I've started looking to fill my interest in a gen 1 FOR D/R AWD tranny from down under...

FYI, http://ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=108834

Ciao, cheers, hasta, catch ya later!

Good work, love the sig picture too!

Hey Taza - clear out your inbox!

Quick question - what year forester did you pull that suparu's new gearbox from? 4.11 final drive D/R with a 1.44 reduction gear?

Any idea what the transmission code is?

Cheers mate!

Owen.

Taza said it was a '98 and the tranny code SD-TY753WR1AA
yes, 4.11 FD and 1.447:1 low range.
As I understand all gen 1 fozzies (97-01 Down Under) had that low range rediction, they changed it to 1.19:1 in 02 and newer, but all (NA EJ20) Fozzies are 4.11 FD

97-02 (mid year then changed to 2nd gen).

Im happy to help out Its a great box for stock, the same as whats in my foz. My only issue is lack of power from the EJ20 but it does the job for the time being

TAAHAA!!

I always wondered why none of the Aussies called transmissions trannys. BUT, that says it all!
I get it now!

Geabox, gearbox it is!

Here's a lil run on Baby lion's back from Wednesday.

NOW i'll need to pick your brain Bennie for all things CLSD rebuild!!

Are clutches available to rebuild an RX CLS unit? what do I need to know, how do I rebuild it?? PM me the whole story (here or USMB or ORS)!!

suparu wrote:NOW i'll need to pick your brain Bennie for all things CLSD rebuild!!

I've never done one, but if a member would like to donate me a CLSD I'd be happy to rebuild it and put it in the back of Ruby Scoo.

I could've had one for nix if I had've called the guy earlier - there was an RX going for free or it was to the tip otherwise. Missed out due to work and forgetting to call the guy. It would have been a mission though. A little pissed but kind of happy as it allows a weekend of other work on Ruby Scoo

The thought of having that LSD has made me realise how much I would love to have one in the back of RS!

Cheers

Bennie
