In that case don't pay that rediculous amount for the job.

The gearbox doesn't have to come out to do it.
It's the tailshaft out and then undo the bolts for the centre diff housing.
Pull the stuffed one out and replace with second hand item.
I got mine from Doug in Perth for a couple hundred(may have gone up a bit since).
My XT blew the centre diff too, looks exactly the same as yours with probably similar K's.
I couldn't be buggered doing the job (normally I would) due to time constraints so I paid the boys at John French up here and it cost under $300 for the labour from memory. Maybe less.
Car is still driving well and that was over 2 years ago.

Mines a manual, but I thought access to the centre diff was similar for both.
Can someone with a bit more knowledge chime in and clarify.
The following link shows the centre diff in a 2003 4eat with the rear housing off and access to it.

Direct from your source...
Proactive automatic all wheel drive with 90/10 torque split front-to-rear under normal conditions (80/20 from 1996; 60/40 on Subaru Forester from 2009 and on - Source). But according to the service manual mine ins 60/40 split.
Electronically controlled hydraulic multi-plate transfer clutch installed instead of the center differential in the transaxle's tailshaft. Sensors monitor parameters such as wheel slippage, throttle position and braking, to help determine needed torque distribution to the rear axle.

Manual centre diffs are in their own housings at the rear of the gearbox and it looks to me as if auto's are the same or similar. Front diffs are in the gearbox and accessing them requires removal and gearbox dissassembly.Without sounding like a noob diffs in the autos are in its own housing n bolt between the engine and transmission not built into the box like manual...
I guess all thats saying is instead of a viscous diff setup like a manual it functions a bit like a non thumb wheel adjustable DCCD. Maybe........Direct from your source...

Ok i may have informed you incorrectly... It is the front diff that is the problem, not the centre diff...
The front diff on the autos are seperate to the transmission and bolts to the front of the transmission and does not require disassemble of the actual box just separation from one another...

I decided to move my headunit and ecudatascan around more so for better access to the storage pocket and keeping the ecudatascan out of the heat and away from prying eyes...
Still needs a little bit of fiddling around with the double din pocket as the cup holder doesnt open properly... The brackets just need adjusting a little...
