I have a 2003 outback auto with a bad transmission.i was able to find a 2001 legacy outback transmission.the question is will the legacy transmission fix my outback?

It should, if you also get the rear differential from the legacy and swap that in. There was a difference in final drive ratios between the outback and legacy and they need to match.

 

Automatic or manual?

It is automatic

It is automatic

if both are outbacks,

and both are ej25,

it will swap with no issues

and nothing else needed.

 

if one is a legacy L, or LS, or brighton,

you will need the rear diff.

 

if one is an H6 i would not do the swap.

i would wait and find another trans.

They both are outbacks. Whats EJ25?
