The number is something like : 463836957W7645896

this number is useless and not relevant. your trans code number is TZ102Z2DBA. this number can be found on the trans bell housing at the starter and the id tag on the driver side strut tower under the hood.

 

you can use any trans that starts with TZ102Z2xxx. notice that there is a '2' after the second 'Z'. these trans come from 96 - 98 2.5L cars, Outbacks, GTs and LSi. or 98 foresters. the GT and LSi will affect your speedo.

 

you will have to search each model and year separately.

look on www.car-part.com, enter your zip and sort by distance. shipping will add about 150$.

Okay, thanks.

Happy to say that my outback is noise free. I'm assuming that it was the

o-ring, but not sure as it looks the same as the first time I put it in. Still not exactly sure if I have the right amount of fluid in it as the dipstick is trash!

Congrats!

 

Now... It's noise free, but is the transmission working correctly?
