Supposed to be driving 1300 miles to NY state for a new job today, transmission E36 M3 the bed. I'm in deep kimchi and would be happy for any leads

Try car-part.com for finding one. Even if you find one today, you're not traveling 1300 miles with it tomorrow.
Enterprise will pick you up.
I see two transmissions! Nice score!
One is the trashed one with the dark, DARK stinky fluid
I hope the new job goes well.
I've always avoided Subarus just for the random exploding parts thing but now I realize I'm committed to driving one up north in a couple of weeks. We'll see if I fall in love or not.
I had random exploding auto transmissions in my SVX but the "glass" WRX 5 speed swapped in took a number of launches without issues when I ran it in autocross in Detroit. No full throttle clutch drops but the SVX had more mass than the WRX.

They're noisy, rattly E36 M3 boxes. I love mine, but I have a stock drivetrain, a turbo and a manual transmission which negates most of the issues people complain about.
Good luck Jim. I've never owned a Subaru, but my brother (not a car guy at all) had one. I was a huge fan of how easy it was to work on.
The trans in my car crapped out before I even left Montgomery, so I borrowed a truck and trailer, loaded the car and found a Subaru breaker in Athens Al that would swap it so drove 3 hours and they started at about 2. 10:00 test drive, clutch slips. I suggest its the clutch fork he swapped because i had read about it, he said "highly doubt it, needs a new clutch" at 11pm and sent his help home.
He and I pulled the AWD trans back out replaced the clutch and put it all back together.
Clutch slips.
I pulled the top mount intercooler off and checked the clutch fork.....bingo, it was not on right.
Left Athens at 3:30 am and drove 600+ miles on no sleep and got to Pennsylvania before I stopped for the night.
In New York now about 4 hours from Ogdensburg with no power steering (a side effect of the swap? Coincidence?)
good luck jim. hate i just saw this thread
