Thanks for the replies, everyone...but unfortunately it definitely is the transmission. Trading it in is not an option with it's clicking condition. The JDM transmissions all have the an oil cooler mounted high on the passenger side of the transmission and also they have an electrical box on the lower driver side of it...both of these applications don't apply to my car, as told by the Subaru tech and is visually correct when viewing my cars original transmission. This really stinks, as the secondary market for these transmissions are very high and a brand new one installed is $7,300 by Subaru. The JDM's are actually better transmissions and less expensive, as told to me by a Subaru tech, as their engines are also, but out of luck when it comes to their transmissions for a '13 Legacy.

Hello all, Am new to the forum. Have a 2013 Legacy 2.5 CVT and the transmission has started making a clicking sound that is directly proportionate to the wheels turning. My mechanic told me the sound is coming from inside the transmission and my local Subaru dealership confirmed that it is indeed the transmission. It's at 103,500, so 3500 miles past the 10year/100k extended warranty, and Subaru of America is doing zero for me. Have started used transmission shopping and have come across JDM transmissions, but their TR580 letters are different than American sold Legacy's. Does anyone know what the correct JDM transmission numbers/letters that will correlate to my TR580KHDAA? Or any other numbers/letters that will get me the correct unit? They already sold me the wrong one and have to bring it back. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
