Sexdatsun Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I have a 01 forester 5sp with a bad transmission. Will a different transmission from any 01 forester 5 sp work as a replacement or do I have to get the rear diff as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 What's "bad" about it? Most can be fixed and will last longer than a used replacement.... GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexdatsun Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 From what I understand, it's a bad bearing in the transfer case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 That's a $35 part and you don't even have to remove the transmission to replace it. You need a better mechanic not a new transmission. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Unless it blew chunks the transfer bearings are easily replaceable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
