Please forgive the simple question... I have a 2001 Subaru Forester that had the transmission changed out long ago for a used transmission. Where do I find the part number of the transmission? I just want to confirm it's the same as the original equipment.  I'm just trying to replace the pan gasket but the replacement I got doesn't fit and I'm pretty sure I ordered the right gasket.

 

Thanks.

There shouldn't be any difference in pan gasket shapes for the transmissions that will work in that car.

 

You don't really need a gasket. Those are sealed with RTV from the factory, and should be resealed with RTV if its leaking.

"The Right Stuff" works well for transmission pans. Pull the pan off and let the trans drip for several hours to let residual fluid run off of the valve body and case. This will help keep drips out of the RTV when putting the pan back on.
