I have a used 81811AJ00A (does NOT have the camera wiring) from my 2013 Legacy if anyone wants it for parts or whatever. Cheap.

No mechanical breakdown issues for my CVT, had 45,500mi when I traded in. What I could not stand any longer were the drivability issues. The constant DRONE of the engine/transmission when accelerating. The huge lag time when you put the car into reverse. I "drove around" the issues because I was aware of them, but I did not like it. I can say after owning the Legacy with the CVT for 5 years that I will never own another CVT, and that stinks because I really love Subaru. I have a Mazda 6 now with a 6-speed automatic. You want to talk about drivability? No comparison! Will miss the AWD but not the CVT.

Another vote for Continental, they are great and not outrageously priced.

Wow. That's a lot of damage, that sucks

Thanks for the info, I will update my earlier posts.
