I need to replace an auto transmission on a 2000 Outback, anyone have any spares? Am I correct in that only a year 2000 will work? I live north of Cincinnati, south of Dayton, Ohio.

 

thanks!

Check www.car-part.com.  if  you can find one locally it will save $300 in shipping.  The trans is more than the engine.  It will also show the interchange.

You need to make sure the final drive ratio matches your rear diff, or also get the rear diff. 2000 was an early 4EAT Phase II. Someone here has a nice comparison chart based on transmission model # as to what is what.

 

BE CAREFUL - 1999-2001 or so those early 4EAT phase II's often had a 'slow to engage into drive' issue, sometimes getting to where they wouldn't shift to drive at all. You wouldn't want to end up with something like that. Even if the yard offers a warranty it's still your labor to R&R it again.
