Subaru Gear Ratio Reference Guide

I find myself look­ing up gear ratios for Sub­aru Mod­els a lot, so I fig­ured I’d post it here as a ref­er­ence for every­one! I got this infor­ma­tion on NASIOC posted by the user North Ursalia.

Another goodie from North Ursalia is this PDF of trans­mis­sion codes. Use it to look up your trans­mis­sion by code!

    1992 Legacy L Wagon 2,2,N/A it came with a 4EAT that had a burnt up transmission from a blown transmission return line. Purchased a low mile 1992 4EAT turbo trans to replace the bad one that was in the wagon since I have a 1991 LSI turbo engine that will be going in the wagon to make it my turbo wagon project. My question is, I’m not sure on if the rear differential is going to match the 3.9 gear ratio of the 4EAT turbo transmission .I’ve Looking through a lot of Subaru forums and it seems like most of what I have been reading is it is a 4.11 rear diff ratio with I though was the 5 speed manual..
