    IT Professional and (very) amateur DIY mechanic. I drive junkers which means I would be crazy not to try to do my own repairs.

    Just bought a used Forester and I'm going to need advice from people smarter and more experienced than me.

  1. Thanks ocei77. It does look like there are a ton of models with a likely-matching differential. I've found a used one on eBay (here). Haven't called any more junkyards yet. If this is the right part, I'm not sure I'll beat that price and I wouldn't have to pull it off a car...
  2. Based on this chart, it looks like my trans has code "TY755VC3AA" VIN is JF1SG63633G752848, if that helps confirm, though from what I've found that doesn't include exact encoding for the trans. This will be the first transmission project I'll have undertaken DIY, so apologies for my inexperience. If I need to pull a code from the vehicle itself in order to be certain, I'm happy to do so when I get home. Again, thanks in advance! EDIT: Also everything I've found suggests that it has a final drive ratio of 4.11. Though, being a transmission newb, I'm certainly curious to see if that's correct.
  3. Just like the title says - I'm in need of a new rear diff for my manual transmission '03 Forester. I'm really hoping to find one at a junkyard, but I'm not confident I'll find an exact match anywhere nearby so I'm hoping to get a list of vehicles that would have a compatible part. Thanks in advance for any help! Edit: First junkyard I called did a little digging and suggested that my rear diff can be found on '03 through '08 models. I'm not 100% sure whether that's only the non-turbo models.
