Yes it is an automatic. It is a 97 Legacy wagon with the 4eat. I can tell it has been opened before. I drained at least two quarts from the differential. I was getting ready to do a full trans fluid change, but this beat me to it. Everything else seems fine. It shifts and drives good, but now has a whine like a banshee. Is this a fix I can do for not a lot of money. It has been 20 years since I've pulled a trans, but I'm poor so gotta be frugal. Or should I just get a trans from the junk yard?
