I purchased a 1999 Legacy Outback Limited about 5 months ago and it's great. There are a few issues I have with it that I'll go into full detail about in another thread, but I thought I should start one for this particular issue since it seems to be the most pressing..
Basically, after I start the car, shifting into Drive will not always happen immediately. Sometimes it will take a few seconds to catch, and sometimes it will take upwards of a minute or two. The issue does seem to happen worse after longer periods of being turned off, but it doesn't always correlate.
The car has no problem going into Reverse immediately, and once I have gone into Drive once it won't delay again (until I turn the car off).
Does anyone know what would be causing this issue, and how it could be fixed? Any help would be greatly appreciated... Thanks!
