Subie_2000 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Hi i need to swap out the trans in my 2000 Subaru Outback 2.5l auto 4eat. I need help to make sure what i buy is compatible. Can any 00 01 02 03 04 outback used 4eat trans plug and play fit and electrically connect in my 00 outback? Ive read that the gear ratios are the same across these years, but i dont know anything about the rest or electrical connections, harnesses, etc. Please help. I need to buy the right one. I can be sure to get one only out of an outback so final drive would be the same. Thx Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 04 was a revision, and, from what I understand, the valve body changed, so it will not work correctly with the older TCU. 4-cyl and H6 have different gear ratios. If you just punch in your car on car-part.com, it'll show you junkyard listings for compatible parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the question is are the 2.5l 4 cyl 00 01 02 03 04 4eat outback transmissions compatible with 00. You are saying 04 is not, so thats good info. On car-part.com if i put in 00 it only shows 00 trans, not 01 02 03. Thus my question here. Its useless to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbchux Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 That's interesting that the interchange only shows 2000. I'm not aware of any differences between 2000, and 01-03. If I had a 2000 that needed a transmission, and I had an 01-03 one, I would put it in.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
