Does anyone know who rebuilds/works on subaru trannys in the mankato area? if not kato than the minneapolis/st paul area. i'd rather not buy a new or used tranny, but rather get mine rebuilt

Any place that specializes in transmissions should be able to do it for you. Idk if you guys have AAMCO Transmissions down there in MN but I'm sure they can do it for you. Your nearest Subie dealership would be able to do it as well.

nobody i called in town here knew anyone that could do it for me, but there is an AAMCO here and ill call them first thing tomorrow cuz i miss my baby.
thanks

hope everything goes well for you. It sucks not having your car.

also, where could i get transmission parts?

You could get the parts from the dealership.
