I have a '01 Forester with 135K miles and with a noise and vibration coming from the rear end of the 5 spd manual transaxle. I verified this with a stethoscope with the car jacked up and all four wheels turning. There is absolutely no noise or vibration coming from the front part where the front axles are inserted. One time recently, there were some serious sounding clunks when I went in reverse. Although I haven't been able to duplicate the condition, I am reluctant to drive any distance. Does anyone know the most likely cause and can it be fixed without removing the transaxle from the car?
