I Have a 2002 Forester S with a bad transmission/differential. I have a rolled 2001 Legacy L with a good transmission/differential. Can I swap the Legacy stuff into the Forester? The numbers on the Legacy are TZ1A4ZCCCA-LM and the numbers for the Forester are TZ1A3ZC3AA-PM. Do I need to swap over the computer controller thing also (TCM)? Thanks for any and all information.

Thank you for all the help. Decided not to do the transmission for the moment. Back on the road again.

Thanks again for the info. ~Jeffrey R.

Thanks for the info. Is it possible to remove both the transmission and the engine while they are still connected? Is there enough room for that? ~Jeffrey R.

My father has a 2001 Forester S with a bad head gasket. It also has a bad transmission. My wife just rolled my 2001 Subaru Legacy L and totaled the car. Is it possible (or how hard would it be) to swap the legacy engine and transmission into the Forester body? They are both automatics but the forester has a straight transmission lever throw where the Legacy has the sideways throws to keep you out of reverse and 1/2. Here are some numbers because more information is better. Legacy Engine number EJ251AXAWL Forester Engine Number EJ251AXVAB Legacy Trans Number TZ1A4ZCCCA Forester Trans Number TZ1A3ZC3AA My father and I are both pretty handy with this stuff and I've watched the online videos and it doesn't look like anything we can't tackle. I mainly want to know if it's possible and if it's a straight swap over. Thanks for any and all help that may be out there. ~Jeffrey R.
