Will a 2005 Forester XT auto trans work in a 2000 Legacy?


Recommended Posts

I don't think so.

 

Even if the gear ratios are the same, I think the TCU that runs the trans and the valve body in the trans changed slightly.

 

I can't say for sure but I would try looking for a 99-04 trans from an Outback or Forrester, or Legacy GT

Thanks for the replies.

 

I suppose I should confirm my auto trans is on the way out. Just bought the car, it has 264k miles. When stopped and going into reverse, it sometimes has a loud clunk. I think this also happens sometimes when I go from reverse to drive again (if I have to adjust in a parking spot or something). I put the car up on the lift, and moving the two front tires, there seems to be more slop (movement before the other tire moves) than other subarus I've owned. She about toast?
