Subaru Outback Transmission

Hi. My local garage has indicated to me that, due to a break in the differential, I need to replace the whole transmission.

cost of part: $1100
Cost of labour: $800 (roughly 9 hours)
year of vehicle: 2004
warranty provided: 1 year.

I drive around 7000 km per year (4500 miles). If this repair lasted 2 years, then I would be quite happy.

Because I have no experience in maintaining an old vehicle, I have no reference point to understand if this is a fair price. For example:

Would 2 guys need around 4-5 hours to replace a transmission (properly of course).

Other detail: the only other major repair I have had was a change to the front ball joints.

thank you

Re: Subaru Outback Transmission

What year is your Outback?

How many miles?

For answers of that kind I usually go to ultimatesubaru.org and click on the "New generation Subaru" Ask the same question there.

Good luck,
Sam
