Any tranny masters?

Okay...heres my deal..

I ordered an auto trans for my 1995 Impreza outback wagon. (2.2 awd)
from a place that imports them from Japan... I recieved it today, but
the numbers on the tranny match a 1998 Legacy 2.5 according to the
subaru dealer.

Is it possible they both use the same transmission? I don't really want
to pay to have the old trans taken out, just to have it put back in.
The guy at the place I got it (Japan engines inc out of california)
sounded pretty confident it was the right one, but eh... I guess I'm
just nervous.


Thanks!

I'm not a tranny expert, but I'm confident that's the one. The Legacy and
Impreza are more similar than people think. In fact I think all the late
model auto Subarus use that transmission.

Trans came with a bigger converter and flywheel, as well as a different
shift actuator. We swapped the actuator, but are keeping the same
converter/flywheel... The guy at the place I got it assured me that I
wouldn't have any starter problems... we'll see about that.

Now I am just waiting for a couple seals that of course the dealer here
doesn't stock... If everything goes right, I'll have it tommorow evening..
