Brother in law loaned his loaner car to one of his employees, employee borked the trans real good like.
Now he needs a transmission. Common enough to find them in the junkyard?

In reply to Stampie :
Outside my wheelhouse- just throw the whole car away.
Final drive ratio has to match, center diff (or lack thereof) has to match, and Subaru made so many different variants of the 4EAT over the years that the closer in year, the better. There's Phase 1, Phase II, for the big variants, and lots of different final drive ratios and alterations here and there.
You will need a trans from a nonturbo Impreza. Nonturbo didn't have a center diff, while turbo did. 2.5RS might have depending on year. Final drive has to match. I would make sure whatever you get it from had drive by wire or drive by cable to match what you have, because the computers are different and if the computers are different then the valve body may be different too. (Drive by cable vehicles had a non CAN trans controller, drive by wire had CAN controllers instead of sharing inputs at the wiring harness level, and they do things differently internally)
