Glad you made it. Before you spend money on a new trans drain the fluid and refill three times. Also add in a thi for Lucas stop slip. It might buy you some life. IL is less greedy than it used to be. I'm from there and moved out to mass 7 years ago. Every frakkig road has tolls here both getting on and off.

Lots of good info here: http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f88/check-engine-light-code-7297/#post85844 Tell your mechanic to get a new code reader. -
100k is around when the head gaskets tend to go. You need to replace it with an OE Subaru t-stat. Anything else simply doesn't work and tends to overheat the engine. If you compare the aftermarket and OE t-stats you'll notice a huge different. When did you check the coolant? Sincerely doubt it was replaced. Find a mechanic who specialized in Asian cars and know Subaru well. Have them check the coolant for exhaust gases using the chemical test. If I had to put money on it I would bet your head gaskets are going. Sorry. :/

An external head gasket leak? I didn't know the 95s did this. I strongly suggest a second and third opinion from other shops. If it is an external leak then you can go to your local dealer and get a bottle of Subaru Coolant Conditioner and add it to the coolant when the car is cold. The price quote is very high for a head gaskt job. For that price you could get a fully rebuilt engine installed. I suggest the ej22.
