1995 impreza transmission removal

[RCubbage]

i am new to this usenet stuff, so i am sorry if i am posting in the
wrong place. I want to remove my auto transmission from my 1995
impreza. it looks like it is in three pieces. the piece closes to the
engine houses the front drive shafts, the middle looks like where the
shifting takes place, and the rear looks like the output for the rear
drive. since it was my reverse that was slipping and now totally gone.
wanted to know if i could leave the front section in the car and only
remove the center and back section in one piece. it would help if i
could leave the whole front section with the drive shafts in-tact.
any help would be a great help.

That front part is the differential. It can be separated from the
transmission but you don't want to do this. Just removed the entire
transaxle. There is an almost 100% certainty when you reinstall the
transaxle you will break it because you don't know about fully seating
that input shaft. Do some reinstalling Subaru transmissions research
before you attempt this.

As johnny said, research it - please get at least one repair
manual(Haynes, Chilton), check www.ultimatesubaru.net and maybe
www.nasioc.com .
If possible buy some beer and pizza for a buddy/neighbor that is a
gearhead to help you.

Haven't been on here for a while.

Don't even think of trying to split the transmission sections on the car.
While it may be technically possible trying to align things for
reassembly will send you running screaming into the night long before you
get it back together.

The last time I pulled an impreza trans I discovered that I didn't have
to do all the suspension disassembly to get the axels disconnected. If
you knock out the roll pins holding the inner ends to the transmission
stub shafts, then separate the transmission from the engine, there is
enough travel in the axel joints to let you pull the trans back until you
can shift it sideways slightly. Doing this lets you remove the axels
from the stubs one at a time. When jacking the trans back into the car
make sure you have the pin holes aligned properly. I just put a couple
of bellhousing bolts in to hold things while I re-installed the axel roll
pins in case I had to drop it back and shift the axel position.

Have fun.
