There are 2 different trannys that came with the 02's AA and BA.
AA is known as the glass tranny that has been known to take a $hit quit often when you start adding more power and the BA is a little bit more reliable and has upgraded gears.
To see what Trans you have look under your hood on the left hand side you will see the Trans code that will end in either AA or BA.

I kinda lucked out and got the BA Trans.

Good luck man and welcome to the forums.

Newbie owner with a question!

Just purchased my 02 WRX - driving it home next Friday.
It's got 126K and very well maintained by original owner.
He kept almost everything stock except for AEM intake and GFB BOV.
He also replaced the turbo with a stock 07-08 I believe.

My question is, seeing as you have the same model year - and I'm assuming its a 5spd if not an STI - how reliable is the tranny?
The only minor repair needed on mine was a viscous coupling but other than that everything is smooth. Just wanted to get an opinion from another owner about their tranny and weather or not I'll be looking at a rebuild anytime soon.

Thanks ! :D
