Kombi auto ratios
Hi. I see people advising on changing ratios for vw auto if going v6 but never mention it when going subaru motor? What gives? Is there a reason? I
just bought a rolling shell 74 and thinking of subaru motors but want to keep the auto in my kombi.

4cyl do around 3000rpm at 100km/h. The V6 usually does somewhere around 2000rpm at 100km/h, so the change of ratio for the V6 is so that it revs about
the same as it did in the donor car.

Here is a rather long thread on TheSamba about the 3.3 ratio that has been made. What size Subaru engine are you looking into getting?

So what does a normal kombi engine rev at?
I may yet go original if i find the right engine but i dont want a sluggish van....not a rocket either but good enough to go up hills etc cruising
with family.
Also how do i identify what my auto is?

on another note, would the 2005 model Subaru impreza manual gearbox fit? As I am buying a complete car with EJ25 motor etc and it has good manual
gearbox etc in it? Also I am guessing the shifter/linkage may be problematic OR has anyone used the auto Subaru boxes? I need to get new driveshafts
anyway, so if that is a problem I was already up for that cost anyway..
