Transfer bearing

So about a year and a half ago maybe longer I purchased a 2001 forester with a full service history but listed on what it needed as a transfer bearing. I have managed to get a price from Boxer service brendale for it and when I have tried to compare price with a different mechanical workshop they dont seem to know what I mean by transfer bearing is there another name for it?

You talking gear box ? Or something else altogether ?

If you can find out the part number - get hold of it & then show to your friendly mechanic he should know how to fix it.

There's few places to go if your near Brisbane too ...

Sounds like it'll be a bearing associated with the centre diff.

Duncanm (I think that's his name) on subyclub has just done his in his outback.

yeah I am thinking so he said if its not fixed it would destroy my viscous coupling?

I don't know how it'd destroy the viscous coupling, but you'll probably damage the rear drive transfer gears if you do t fix the bearing.

You could swap the rear housing for a known good one. Less downtime on the vehicle this way.
