Hi all

 

Just wondering if a 2010 Forester XT Driveline would fit into a 2003 Liberty RX Automatic with no issues.

 

 

Cheers,

Physically yes it will fit. But you will need a manual gen 3 tail shaft.

And you will need to check if the gearbox has a speed sensor as MY10 forester may be CANBUS?

Is the tail shaft in the picture above not suitable? Why would I need a GEN3 one?

 

I believe the speed sensor is just a standard 3 pin plug so it should just plug straight in with no issues.

Tail shaft is the wrong length for gen 3
Need a gen 3 manual as Adrian suggested

Everything else will be fine providing its a 3 pin speed sensor like the gen 3 one
Also like Adrian said

Not to familiar with the pedal box arrangement in the gen 3 but in the gen 2 the accelerator and brake were joined together in the same frame

But the clutch pedal will bolt in on its own so will be fine

So issues would be:

- Tail shaft would need to be from a manual GEN3

- Speed sensor would need to be 3pin to suit GEN3

- Accelerator and brake pedal may need to be from a manual GEN3

- ECU would need to be from a manual GEN3 with matching wiring loom

 

The first 3 issues can be easily sorted but the ECU and wiring would be more difficult to get around. Would tricking the ECU into thinking it's in neutral cause issues?

Would tricking the ECU into thinking it's in neutral cause issues?

I believe most people do it this way. It should work but might have some gremlins
