I’m most likely buying a 2013 Legacy with a cvt that’s slipping and acting up tomorrow morning. It’s in decent shape and cheap enough I could part it out and do ok. However we need a vehicle and I don’t like letting stuff die!
The basic mechanical work I’m pretty comfortable with. As far as I can tell the jdm trans is a direct swap, I’ve seen mentioned swapping the harness, anything else anyone cares to share would be great.
Fluid, I’d love to find a cheaper option that Subaru oem, or similar money for something superior would be ok but not sure there is such a thing? I plan to use oem filter.
Do any parts sites have decent drawings so I can make sure I’m ordering the correct seals? I’d assume axles seals, and trans front seal should be replaced.
Any tips or info appreciated! It’s been a few years since I’ve owned a Subaru and I’m looking forward to having a fuel efficient awd back in the stable.
