Thanks for reply! Its my bad, I figured it was one unit but I just wasn't sure what to call it. Gota find a tranny now

Thanks for the input! I believe that the transmission is actually alright. My guess it is the transfer case. I called few parts places and they told me that replacing just the transfer case is too much work, I am better off getting the thing as a whole with the tranny.

Yeah thanks! I posted in there and they recommended me to post in other locations as well. The gear ratios are find as far as i know. Someone told me that there might be some slight changes in the transfer case which would cause minor issues because my rear diff is original. Is this true?

I got a 2000 Subaru Legacy L! My a/t transmission seems to be fine, but my something wrong with my transfer case/front diff. I found a 2000 legacy outback transmission (TZ1A4ZCABA-WL) but it doesn't exactly match my tranny numbers (TZ1A4zCACA-WR). I know that it will probably fit and bolt up, but I am not sure if the transfer case/front differential will work well with my car. Someone had told me that you need to match those numbers exactly, but I heard that people put Impreza transmission onto Legacies as well as some 2006 legacy transmission work with 2000 legacies. Can anyone help? I was also wondering what other a/transmissions will fit onto my 2000 Subaru Legacy L and work well? PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks!

Thanks for trying to help man! I appreciate it! Nobody seems to be able to help me I even called the dealer and they don't know!

Thank you for the reply! I am sorry but thats the worst idea ever... Just to take the tranny off and put it back on, the dealer will charge me 16 hours of labor Not to mention actually fixing or it or whatever is wrong with it. I cannot drive the car so it will also cost me money to tow it over there. I called the dealer and they said taking it off and taking it apart will cost more then replacing it. The problem first started off with a clanking noise when the wheels where spinning, I took passenger axel out and it wouldn't make the noise anymore. After putting the axle back in and trying to drive again, it started to make a very loud clank and jerks the car as if I am driving over a curb going 25mph when I am driving 1-5 mph. My buddy will put the tranny on and off for 400 bucks for me. I can probably get this 2000 outback tranny for around 500, its got 20k miles on it and hasnt been in use for a while. I just need to know if it will work flawlessly or if there any other imprezas or foresters that will work well with my car. Thanks!

Oh no its definitely not a simple fix. When I am rolling the car, every time the wheel makes a rotation, it feels like i am driving over a curb going 25mph. I know its not the transmission, it is something wrong with the transfer case/front differential. Taking it off and trying to rebuild, is more expensive then buying a used/rebuilt one. When I emptied out the fluids, I got metal shavings. My buddy is the mechanic and he told me I need to find a new one. So does anyone know wether this 2000 outback tranny/diff will work fine with my 2000 legacy? Any other trannies that will work? PLEASE HELP! THANKS!
