Subaru legacy???

[dennyt]

My Loyale turns 3000 rpm at 70mph, 2600 at 60. It doesn't feel over-geared, though I could handle another 10% drop in RPMs with more downshifting for hills.

it has 4.1 diffs, and what, 25 inch tires? with 130 or so hp

compared to a toyota 4x4 truck with 410 gears, 32 inch tires and 112 hp

i think it is way over geared for what it is, a 3.70 or 3.5 would suit the tourque of these motors better, for milage that is. off road the 4.1s are good

Hey, I have a front wheel drive tranny sitting around for the subaru. It is an automatic, but its anyones for the taking.

Under normal conditions, I would agree. However, the lack of low-range in my Legacy caused Su to stall at full throttle up a steep dirt hill. It probably didn't help that I had 4 passengers and all of their camping gear in it at the time. Backing down was barely manageable... gosh I miss that car.
