Thanks guys! The reason I ask is someone mentioned the front axle caused vibration going up hill. I had that issue before I lost reverse. I thought that might have been related. I guess it was coincidence.
I'm still looking for someone to do my swap within 100 miles. All the shops I've been to refuse or are scared to tackle this job. I'm waiting on one more shop who are Subaru transmission specialists. I gave them your instructions Tom. Thanks for your help.
