Nah, I actually just sold it today. If I would have done a transmission in it I would have been way over it’s worth with what I’ve put into already. Even if he has to do a trans he should still be into it for less than it’s worth so everyone is happy. Thanks everyone for the input!

I probably worded that poorly. The engine runs perfectly fine. The trans was slipping on acceleration like it didn’t have fluid. I’m guessing that’s because it was low on trans fluid lol. I’d say I’m 95% sure it’s not the HGs, it was definitely overheating because the cooling system was full of trans fluid instead of water and antifreeze. What i know for sure is there isn’t fluid in the trans and the coolant is red. My mechanic told me the trans cooler blew up in the radiator so Im just going off of what my said. If I had somewhere to do a flush and replace the radiator I definitely would but I don’t. Thanks for the help though everyone.

Hello everyone! Yesterday was a very sad day. I have a very well maintained 2009 Legacy 3.0R that suddenly was having trouble putting power through the drive line and temp started rising shortly after. I was able to limp it a few blocks to work and popped the hood when I got there to find my coolant reservoir blown open with coolant/trans fluid everywhere. I was extremely confused to how this could happen and then realized the trans cooler is in the radiator. My question for you guys is what are the chances the transmission has water in it? Because I feel like it almost certain that it does. Also what are the chances if it does, replacing the radiator and flushing both systems actually returns it back to 100%? I think I’m willing to pay for the flushes and radiation but a new trans I think would be where I would have to draw the line on this car. The car has over 300k and is in pretty amazing shape for the mileage and is in perfect mechanical condition otherwise and I just can’t bring myself to scrap it. Has anyone had a similar experience? What was your outcome? Thanks I’m advance for your help in advance everyone!

Thank you infosecdad! That was indeed the correct IC. I desoldered my chip off of my ECU and was able to move it to a donor ECU and it fired right up. I appreciate the help very much!

It might be a while before I can verify, but thank you for your help! Much appreciated!

Hey everyone! I realize this thread is a couple months old now but I'm trying to locate the EEPROM on my 2009 Legacy 3.0R ecu. There is some type of coating on the board that makes it really hard to read the IC's. There is about 8, 8 pin IC's all the same size. My ECU doesn't send signal to injector 6 anymore and I'm trying to replace it with a used one.
