2003 Outback Transmission

Featured Replies

Trans was rebuilt a few years ago by Aamco according to the PO.  The front diff went on it, low gear lube i suspect, there are chunks in the diff.

 

According to the yards and www.car-part.com the trans requires a 2002 or 2003. 

 

Think it's worth changing out the front Diff?

 

Anyone with a Trans in CO?

 

Thanks Larry

Thanks, 

There is a 2001 at the Aurora UPAP that was hit pretty hard in the front.  parts of the engine are still there and the trans is there.  Someone pulled the half shafts without removing the roll pin so they pulled the stub shafts out as well.  

 

Think I'll just watch the COS UPAP and wait for one to come up.

Its not too bad a job.  Gotta pull the tail housing and the front to do it and use the ring with the trans you are getting the front diff from's pinion shaft.  

 

Shawn - so you use the donor trans ring and pinion.

Do you need to use the donor trans tail housing and front case or other parts to keep the shim/distances/backlash set the same? 

 

There's another thread from a guy that did just this on here too, I'm in the middle of cobbling together a trans from two on a 2002 H6.
