Subaru automatic tranny's have a history of blowing up.


That's good for us VW folks, you can often get a used Legacy/Outback
that "needs a new transmission" for a great price...a wonderful
situation since you don't use the Subaru tranny for the transplant
anyway.


Buy the whole donor subaru, take your time and strip out everything
you need, sell anything left if you can, then send it to the
crusher...
