Presently looking for help and advice
If a 2001 Forester L tranny will work in my car

[jf1sf5]

It should but I'm no specialist as I have a 5MT.

There are two questions.

"Will it fit?" - yes.
"Will it work?" - you need to see if the TCU is compatible.

Some more info
99 Forester S
Looking to pickup a used 2001 L tranny and not exactly sure what might be different.

The autowrecker when I asked said the cross over computer indicated 2001
No idea what changed in 2002
But obviously when the body style changed that would be a obvious clue.
Some people had mentioned newer motors may require swapping timing sprockets to makenit work

Not sure how one would go about that?

Looking part numbers up?
