I recently acquired a 2000 Legacy gt limited sedan and was told that the transmission is shot. More specifically, the front differential. 

I've been told conflicting stories about the compatibility of transmission. Some have told me that it is 1999/2000 gt only. And others have said that 2000-2006 will fit and work properly as long as gear ratio matches. I'm well aware that the ratio has to be the same but the conflicting information about compatibility of the valve body and such is what has me concerned. 

Please, if you have any information on this, don't hesitate to offer it up. 

I'm not inept, or anything and have experience working on cars, but this conflict is too much.

Hey maybe your lucky moment. I have that exact transmission which I personally extracted from a 2000 Legacy GT wagon. 
 

It is a 4:11 I pretty sure. Those also run larger wheels. 
 

The car I purchased to part out for my own needs (engine) had a front end collision. Car had only 124k on it. I jumped on this once I saw it. That engine is in our wagon. We drove it from east coast to west and it now resides in AZ with our son. That was over two years ago. So the engine should speak for the transmission for future reliability. 
 

I have the transmission on a dolly in my storage. It’s in Milford CT if that helps. I haven’t checked your location but I’ll do that after I post this. 
 

Being February in New England it’s a little chilly out to make a crate. But if you’re wanting it shipped I’d be willing once the temps get a little higher. 
 

Off topic- somehow I cannot locate the remote dashboard cup holder I had from that GT. 
 

But I also have a good load of parts from that 2000 GT and also from a 2002 sedan. 
 

I don’t want much at all. I’m cleaning house and would be happy to make a sweet deal on that transmission.
