TRNW-2: Subaru TR580 bearing noise

[Steve Everett]

   We're supposed to have a core somewhere for one of these,  if so I'll
take it apart first so I know what I'm getting into, manager originally
sold the customer a used trans ,  supposedly less than 20k miles?  but its
noisy, almost as noisy as the original one,  so I'm going to see if I can
fix the "used" one ,  if its fixable,  very few shops around Atlanta will
take in a Subaru,  pretty sure the manager won't take any more after this
one
