sporta06 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Hey all, We have a 99 Forester with the manual 5sp that appears to be going out. Transmission code on the car is TY755VC1AA and it has the Engine Code of EJ253AWZVB (2.5SOHC right?) Question I have is will a 2004 Forester 2.5 xs Transmission (and rear end) swap into the car??? Very confusing here and need expert help ASAP. Thanks, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Just fix the trans that's in it. They are simple units. Probably needs a center diff. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt167 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 They are both 4.11 5spds and would be a near direct swap. Speed sensors in the trans probably need changed. Center diff is likely the issue and they can be replaced for about $600 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmdew Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Yep, I usually find it way less money and faster to swap in a used trans. Yes it is in unknown condition but most yards have 30 day or longer exchange. While the trans is out: Seal the rear engine breather plate Surface the flywheel. New clutch kit Check or change the clutch fork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) Gee.... 8 ish hours to change trans and diff. Or 6 for just trans. Or not take out the trans just swap the center diff which takes like 1 hour. Also used probably isn't much better. Those center diffs fail on the regular. Dealer stocks more than one at all times. At least - if you are paying for labor it doesn't pencil out. We most often fix them because used is such a gamble.
