Got my 4.44!

Ok... well, it's not installed yet, but I went to the you-pull yard today and got a 4.44 from a '98 Forester 'S' AWD (it's an early '98 with no spin-on filter) plus the torque converter and rear diff for $173. (It'll be less when I return the cores).

The donor car was hit hard in the front which is why it was there. Someone had already pulled the engine and front/rear struts, which made pulling the tranny a piece of cake. Trans. fluid was clean and cherry-red, and is now all over the back of my Legacy wagon. I couldn't see the mileage because of the digital odometer not being 'on', but all other signs said 'go for it'! I can't wait to get it installed!
