I've searched. Cant find a solid answer. I've got a 02 L that my grandmother gave to me at 51k miles. The front diff sounds like a rocket ship. And apparently my grandmother said its been making noise since about 35k. Very disappointed Subaru!! Anyways it's got 58k on it now. I've driven it all year with the noise.

So my question is what auto trans years are a direct plug and play? I'm not swapping a rear diff to. Just want to swap the trans out for a better one before the diff locks on me or something. Rather not waste my time taking the trans apart. I believe it's the front pinion bearing. The car was free for me. Putting time and more money into it then I intend isn't my cup of tea.
Will 03-05 auto trans work? 2.5x trans?
Thanks for any info.
