Keaste01 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Hi guys new here just joined to help get a diagnostic on my 2004 Subaru legacy 2.0i 4-speed automatic transmission the car has done 270,XXX Km So i was driving home the other day and i went around a round about and accelerated out and heard something clunk, tried to continue on driving but it then struggled to accelerate, making noises (from trans front) tried going up hill wouldn't go high revs no movement. At this moment i thought trans is fucked. so just wanting a confirmation is it the trans for could it just be the front diff? the reason why i bring up the front diff is because before this incident i did notice a distinctive road noise coming from like the front wheel or axle, as the wheels spun faster the pitch would get higher, almost like a winding sound of cogs. but also located near the front is the trans so it hard to distinguish which one here is a video to help: Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumbleRumble Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Check the ATF and Gear oil mostly like was never serviced hence why your front differential bearing was whining and is now toast. Drop the trans pan and find some metal goodies. My first outback suffered this same fate. https://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/162224-front-differential-bearing-whine-repair-advice-decision-time/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keaste01 Posted November 18, 2018 Author Share Posted November 18, 2018 So if the front diff is screwed does that mean the trans will also be screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumbleRumble Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 yeah front diff is in the trans. Center diff can be replaced on 5MTs not sure about 4ATs. The best bet is to buy a 2nd hand trans and put it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keaste01 Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 Cool hey Thanks for the info, know of any videos or threads on removing this model of trans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumbleRumble Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 it's very similar to most subarus even with a 5mt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
