Hi everyone, sorry for jumping straight in with a question ,have been watching on here for a while, but here it goes.

I'm in need of replacing the d/r 5spd in my 2000 outback, I recently found a d/r 5spd in a 2000 forester 2ltr.

My question is can anyone provide me with the drive ratios and final drive ratio, for these two boxes. I don't want to get this box and find it doesn't have suitable ratios due to the different set up of the forester, e.g. 2ltr and I think taller wheels.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

just buy the forester box with the rear diff and replace both.
Pretty sure they have different ratios.

I think the forester would have 4.11 but im not sure.

Best way to check is to grab the TZ number and google it.

Hope this helps

yep the 2.0l foz are 4.11 and i think the outbacks are 3.9 but not 100% sure

Just put a 1998 Forester box in my 2000 outback.
Diff ratios are the same, gears are shorter, better for big wheels.

I know im my 03 3rd gen outback my diffs are 4.11.

Thanx guys, finally tracked down the vin number and gave it to the parts guy at a dealership near me, final drive is the same, drive ratios I'm still not sure about. Grabbed the trans anyway so I guess time will tell.
