I recently picked up a used transmission for my 2002 L.L. Bean non VDC. The replacement transmission does not have the shaft axle drives coming from the forward differential. Any advice on how to remove the shafts from the toasted transmission and install them in the replacement. Is this procedure possible without taking apart the transmission case? The replacement came from LKQ and I would like to believe they did not take the time to separate the transmission case just to remove the axle shafts. The part number in question is - Shaft Axle Drive - Subaru (38415AA100) -
My 2002 non-VDC Bean Outback transmission part#31000AE640 has a non-repairable forward diff. I can source a 2002 transmission part#31000AE800 from a Legacy GT. My question is will this work? The parts diagram I referenced shows that it does. Although the diagram for #31000AE640 shows that transmission only fitting the non-VDC 3.0 cars, not the GT. Seems confusing. I’m in the Northwest. If anyone knows of the whereabouts of a 2002 #31000AE640 non-VDC or even a broken one with a good forward differential I would be most appreciative. I have quite a few old Subarus and some NOS parts I might consider trading for the transmission.

I recently purchased a high mileage 2008 Subaru Outback (200,000 miles) with an automatic transmission. After driving it more, i started experiencing an occasional miss shift. ( only when shifting up into a higher gear would the RPM's climb and then catch hard.) And It always had a hard shift down into 1st gear (or neutral?) only when I'm coming to a stop. This happens almost every time i come to a stop after the car has warmed up, and less often when its cold. I checked the transmission fluid when i bought it, and it didn't seem bad. Ive since done a partial drain and refill of the transmission pan ( about 3-4 quarts worth ) But that didn't seem to help. I also tried adding some Lucas transmission fix ( very thick additive ) Which didn't seem to help, or hurt. A few weeks ago, my wife was driving the car and the timing belt broke, she was unsure if it was the timing belt breaking, or if the car was in the middle of a miss shift. Until the car died a moment later. I have since had the heads done, and have the engine put back together waiting to be put back in the car. But i am superstitious that the transmission might have caused the timing belt to slip, and that im putting all my money and time at risk by re installing the motor into the car with an iffy transmission. Am i crazy? The theory goes like this... Maybe an old tensioner, and a sudden spike in RPM from the transmission failing to find a higher gear, and then a sudden and violent clunk into said gear. May have cause the belt to slip off the sprocket, and ultimately break? As i was putting it back together i noticed there is no timing belt guide above the main crank. ( the manual says that it may not come equipped, or be necessary.) I think im going to put the motor back in, and test drive it more. hoping to find a solution to the odd shifting characteristics. But wanted to know if anyone had ever even heard of a bad transmission being able to break a timing belt before? IF at least to calm my fears. *Forgot to say that the timing belt did not look worn, or dried out in any way before it broke*
