I need to replace the manual trans in my 99 forrester, I'm having trouble finding a 99 trans and I dont know which other transmissions will interchange with my car, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pretty much all the transmissions will fit, but you need to get one that matches your final rear ratio (usually 3.900 or 4.11). Check the transmission chart in the USRM to find what yours is and select another that matches. Use the number on the Bell Housing near the starter motor (something like TY754VCAAB); number is also on the VIN plate on the inside driver's side fender well. Good luck. If you find a suitable transmission but with a different rear, buy the matching rear to go with it. Not much difference in usability, although the 4.11 has a little more "dig" off the line.
