So for an update, my replacement transmission came in today from Arizona. It has super low miles (according to the yard I bought it from) with just 19k miles. Paid $550 shipped for it. I found the transmission through www.car-part.com. I'm going to have it installed at my friend's shop this Thursday.

Oh you can bet on that! I already found a low mileage transmission (only 24k miles) for $575 shipped in Northern CA that I will be ordering on Friday. It has the same tranny code as mine so it's perfect. I'm just wondering if I can resell my old transmission...hmmm. The front diff is bad but the transmission part itself is perfect still.

It's okay, I'll probably getting one from a 2002 Impreza anyway. I found a wrecking yard in AZ that has one for around 650 shipped with just 100K. For the the miles and price, I'd say that isn't bad at all...Now I have just save up the cash :/

Thanksfor the heads up! Yeah upon further research I found out that that I have the 4.11 final drive. Well, at this point it's looking like sourcing a good used lower mileage transmission is the cheaper and more sensible way to go. I'll just drive like this for a while I save up for a replacement transmission.

Thank you for the reply! I'll go under the car tomorrow and identify which final drive I have based on the markings on that 2 page scan.

Bought a 2002 Impreza Outback Sport 3 days ago with 170k miles and sadly there's already an issue on it. Found out yesterday that the front diff is going bad. It whines pretty obnoxiously from 30mph and on. Drained the fluid out yesterday and I saw a good amount of methal shaving on the magnetic plug. Just in case it'll be too expensive to service the front diff, my other option is to source out another good working used transmission. So there in lies my question: Which other Subaru models share the same transmission and final drive ratios as my 2002 Impreza OBS? The transmission code is: TZ1A4ZCCCA. Any input or advice are appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hello all, I purchased this 2002 Impreza Outback Sport with 170k miles 3 days ago. Automatic, clean title, clean interior, no leaks, seemed well kept in general until I sadly found out that the front diff is going bad. It whines from 30mph and on. Confirmed that it was the front diff yesterday when I drained the fluid and there was a considerable amount of metal shavings on the magnet. Now my questions are the following: 1. Is it even worth getting the diff serviced, or should I just source out another good automatic transmission? The transmission on the car right now shifts fine with no issues at all. 2. If buying a used transmission, which other Subarus model share the same exact automatic transmission as mine (tranny code: TZ1A4ZCCA)? I understand that if you mix and match final drive ratios, the center diff will shortly die after that. 3. Do auto and manual transmissions share the the same type of front diff? I have a friend who's got a 5 speed transmission in his garage and says that if the front diffs are the same he'll let me buy the front diff out of his spare transmission. Any answers or advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
