i have a 97 legacy outback limited with a 2.5 and automatic that has a bad trans. i'm not sure how to tell what the ratio is to put in a new one. i have a trans from a 96 legacy outback and 2.5 but i'm not sure if it will work. i got the numbers off the tags under the hood and didn't know if those would help. (1) is tz102zaba (2) is tz102z2cba. HELP!!!!

 

thanks steve

It will bolt up and work. Pretty much any EJ trans will both up to any year EJ engine. Sometimes there are "extra" holes for doul pins vs bolts, but they all work. I think the exception would be a 4 spd auto vs the new 5 spd. It will bolt up but the tcm may not operate it.

 

You should be fine.
