Impact may have damaged front diff since axle shaft was bad, that would be my place to check before tranny.
2014 Subaru Forester Transmission Noise When Decelerate
Hi, Im buying wrecked Subarus and restore them, and that's a lot of fun 
Lately, I picked up pretty nice 2014 Forester Limited, with only 65k miles. It had some damage to the passenger front suspension along with pass axle. I swapped all the parts, fixed the body and when it was ready I drove off the shop and immediately noticed heavy noise from the center of the car when I decelerate. Transmission shift perfect, no any lights on dash, drives great, BUT men this noise from the transmission of the transfer case ( I guess it is transfer case, between engine and transmission, where the axles go to), whenever I decelerate it is roaring noise that you can't miss.
Any advice? Should I just swap the CVT or NOT ???
Transmission is not expensive and I have pretty good mechanical skills but I've never done it on subaru. Not sure how hard/easy that is???
Also, Not sure if new transmission has to be re-learned or re-programmed???
Any advice and/or procedure on the this issue or transmission swap will be very much appreciated.
Below some picture of before and after.
Cheers
