Hey guys,

 

Looking for some knowledge or potential parts. My Outbacks is currently on life support. I took it to the mechanics last Friday cos when i turned it hard lock left (forward or reverse) it starting making some very loud clunking sounds like driveshaft problems. 

 

Mechanic came back to me today and told me its the centre diff and the box needs replacing. Does anyone know anywhere reliable i can find a manual box for 03 gen3 outback? my mechanic is looking also but thought i would have an ask on here incase someone knew where i could source a nice one.

 

Thanks for any help with this.

You don't need to replace the whole gearbox if it's just a centre diff. I had mine replaced late last year after the bearing started to get noisy. Cost me $1100 installed for a rebuilt WRX one.

Do you want to keep the dual range (hi / low) type g/box ??

[ReDMaN_82]

Cheers C-Shell.. gives me some more options to look into. Morgan.. thanks for your help again mate. have emailed him so will see what he says.

 

Beckers.. I would like to keep hi/lo but does that make a huge difference in availability or cost?

Where did Chris just get his second hand box from recently? Pretty sure he was saying the service was good and they were quite reasonably priced

They can even install it for you

 

Ask for Andrew

 

Or try http://www.japwrecker.com.au/

 

I think liberty and outback boxes are the same...

 

Just quote them your transcode and they'll match it up

 

Or if you want reco diff go to All Gear Transmission/Subguru in Greenacre

All drive are crooks... All gear do the same thing (they use to work at all drive) and Isaac was telling me that even if he charged $150 labour/hr he still wouldnt come close to what all drive charge...

All drive only supplied the gearbox for us.
