THANK YOU Fairtax4me and idosubaru, GREAT NEWS!! I guess that $300 I spent on the parts car will pay off in spades! 96 VIN is 4S3BG4856T6385576 97 VIN is 4S3BG685XV6645797 96 has 270,000 miles and the 97 has 188,000 miles. Do you think it would be prudent to go ahead and move the rear diff over with the transmission anyway? Is there any test to estimate the condition of the older rear diff? Paco

I believe I have the exact same problem and solution as MaineSubaruPeople... I own a 96 legacy outback wagon with 2.2 engine mfg in 12/95. The plate under the hood calls for a tranny number TY752VABCA. Mine seems to be on the way out at 270,000 exactly (not staying in 3rd gear and hard to get into 3rd, plus making some rubbing noises...) I happened to buy a 97 for parts last year - it hit a deer - and the tranny in it is a TY752VACCA. I'd like to pay someone to swap it into my car.... Good idea?? Just want to be sure it'll work, obviously. Thanks for advice!!
