I have a 98 lego wagon,EJ25,auto.Heard strange noises emanating from trans,took it apart,expecting front diff damage and found both planetaries destroyed.Has anyone else heard of this?What do I do?I was going to try to fix myself but I'll have more invested in hard parts than a good used trans.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks in advance.At least I have a good front diff and tail housing.Also,I counted 9 teeth on front pinion and 40 on ring gear,came up with 4.33,does that sound right?

Hey,

 

That would be 4.44. You answered your own question, I believe. Throw in a good used tranny.

Thanks,that's what I figured would be best.The number on the bellhousing is TZ102Z2DBA.What years am I searching for?I found someone parting out an 00 legacy sedan and thought I would ask my fellow Subaru experts about what I'm looking for.Thanks.

any outback auto trans will work, 96 - 98. you can also use an auto trans from a LSi or GT model, 96 - 98. as long as the first 7 characters in the trans part number are the same it will work, that's TZ102Z2....

 

if the last 2 character are different, AA or CA instead of BA, the speedo gear may be different and your speedo may be off, a little. but that's the only difference.

 

in other words, any auto trans from a 2.5L legacy (outback, LSi, GT) will work 96 - 98. but you first choice should be one from an outback.

Can't help you with (don't know nothing 'bout automatics!) but try a search. Your question may have been answered in recent posts.

 

Good luck.
