Thanks again I'll probably be having more questions later on.

Thank you for your time and helping me figure out I have the wrong transmission in. I'm totally new to this stuff I have been learning as I go and who knows how long it would of taken me to figure this out. I'm still confused about the fluid levels I'm pretty sure it was full at 6.5 or so quarts I started the car several times and it was still full so I don't know .So my question is do you recommend I take the car into a mechanic shop and have them dignose problem or should I just get the right tranny tz1a3zc2aa at the salvage yard and go that rought.I can get one right now for $550 with 11k on it.

Well the light dose flash on random times and when I put it into gear the car moves but if you give it gas it slips out of gear and makes a high reving sound and the speedometer lurches. It seems like it goes into all gears nicely the problem is when u give it gas. This must explain why it holds way less fluid than the transmission that's supost to be in it. I think the specs said to put 9.8 quarts in the 99 forester and it was full like a little after six I was totally confused when this happend makes sense now. Also when I put it into gear with the car off you can hear a buzzing electrical noise coming from the transmission I thought this was weird also.

Thanks for your help. I dubble checked transmission code and it is the tz1a4zcfac in the 99 forester. I recentally aquired this car so I don't know the history but could this be a different transmission that was put in. I noticed yellow pen markings on it like from a parts yard. If I'm replacing this transmission should I get the same tz1a4zcfac that's in it now I'm sure it was compadable with the diff ratio because the previous owner was driving it.

I need help finding interchangable trannys for my tz1a4zcfac 99 forester auto. What works.
