4EAT Tranny for 2000 Legacy

[lateralized]

First of all, forgive my limited knowledge of transmissions. As I was told by New England Transmission, it is my forward clutch piston (?) that has been causing the problems I mentioned in a post a few months ago. The repairs would total somewhere in the 2K range. I dont have that. I do have around a grand to throw at this and I do have someone reliable who can install a tranny provided I find one. Anyone know of something available that will fit my troubled car? Thanks in advance for any tips.

I have a 4EAT out of my 97 Impreza L ... not sure if it's the same but a Subaru Remanufactured one was put in just before we bought the car, and swapped out 30 - 40k miles later. There was nothing wrong with it, I just wanted a 5spd. Let me know what you find out, if you're interested.

Ill find out about it. How much are you asking?

I don't know what they go for ... it's been sitting out at my friend's dad's place since the swap.

Why don't you buy a 5MT swap from me for $800? I believe you only need a pedal box and an ECU to make it complete.

PM me for details. I can link to threads for the swap for a legacy

I don't think you need the ECU ... I didn't. Also, there is some different wiring between the auto and the 5spd ... different connectors on the harness ...

5 spds are fun, tho it may take more than a day to do the swap depending on who you have helping you and if you have to torch off hub lugs that will not come off after breaking 2 breaker bars.

I would LOVE to do that, but probably cant afford it when all is said and done. I need the cheapest and easiest fix unfortunately and my labor costs would go up dramatically with the swap. Looks like its Norm's unless anyone has any new info. I got a pretty crappy deal on an engine there last time so I would love it if anyone knew of anywhere else.

The unfortunate part about the engine is that you didn't get to inspect it before buying. You could probably have gotten a good deal off the price if you had gotten to get a good look at it first.
