Phillip Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 The transmission in my '99 Outback Legacy Wagon is starting to slip on the 2-3 upshift and I need to replace it. Does anyone know the years/models that will interchange? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 you might be able to adjust the brake band. Have you changed the fluid recently? How many miles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudrat79 Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 If You must change, I know from personal Swapping , that all Were Basically the same from 90-00 ....Only diff was in Speed-O Cable Hook-up...... On 90-92 it has a Mechanical Speed-O, on 92 and Newer they went to Electronic Pick-up.....Both Units Bolted into the same spot on the tranny.... All electrical conections were the same.....A few wires changed color, but perform same function...... I Stuck a 70,000 mile 97 trans into a 90 Sedan, with no issues Hope this helps, John in Oregon..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillip Posted June 1, 2004 Author Share Posted June 1, 2004 Thanks for the replies. I manage a large fleet of vehicles and deal with a very sharp local trans shop (Transmission Solutions in Eugene OR) who put his finger on the problem immediately. It's going in to the shop next Monday for $1400 worth of trans work! I must say that I haven't been all that impressed with the reliablity of Subaru's. At 91,000 miles I replaced the engine (spun two rod bearings) and now at 98,000 it's ready for major transmission work. My wife really loves her '99 Outback; too bad for me. Thanks again for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
