    My old car was becoming more expensive to repair than it was worth. I owned it for 8 years and accumulated over 300k miles in that time. The 2018 Outback will be my new daily driver, it was at 43K miles when I picked it up a little over a week ago. I don't think it's been modded. My daily...

    Hello, bought a 2011 Outback a few months ago (first Subaru) with around 150k miles on it, got the Christmas tree lights (a few days before Christmas no less) for a P2764 code. Got some replacement lockup solenoids off Ebay (from a wrecked car) and when I got around to the job had CVT fluid come...

    I am not sure if anyone else experienced this. When driving My 15 OB with 66K miles on a few cold mornings, I would accelerate out of my neighborhood onto the main street at full throttle to get up to speed and not slow down traffic behind me. What I believe is my trans CVT would make a...

    Going thru an annoying ongoing CVT issue with my used 2013 Suburu Outback and I am looking for some advice. In cold temperatures, at idle speed when the engine is not warmed up the car will occasionally try and kick back into park (usually when in reverse at low speed out of the driveway), I...

    Hey guys, first of all I want to say this is an amazing community. Been lurking for months, but finally just made an account. I would be grateful if you can point me to what my car may be experiencing, and where I can start probing around I own a 2011 outback 2.5i Limited CVT with 150k miles on...

    First CVT oil change done at 230k. Second one done at 340k. 340k numbers are first column, 230k in 2nd column just FYI.

    Context: 2014 2.5i Limited Outback (164,000 mi) lit up like a Christmas tree on the dashboard earlier this week. Independent Subie mechanic I go to diagnosed it as several failed solenoids, recommended replacing valve body. Despite working on Subarus only the past 30 years, said he had only just...

    I’ve started hearing the dreaded “slip.” I have an appointment with the local deal for a fluid change. No desire to tackle that myself in the Northeast cold right now. Here’s a stupid question: is there a tranny filter in there somewhere?

    2016 Outback, sometimes while at a full stop it feels like the car wants to lurch forward? Like if your foot wasn't on the brakes it might move. Sorta like when you shift into 4wd on a old truck. seems like a transmission slipping issue or it not being engaged correctly then it engages? I...

    2013 outback 2.5 with cvt. Had it on jack stands to do diff and cvt service. While switching gears to get the cvt fluid to circulate, i let off the brakes to let the wheels spin. A ton of lights came on and now i have a stored code p0500. Should i be worried about this. The lights went off but...

    Can anyone tell me what functions each of the two cvt valve bodies accomplish?? I have a one two shift issue when warmed up. After dropping the pan to install the vb I purchased I found it’s not there. I have the one for the top supposedly? I have the bottom pan open. Before I close the...

    Hi all, I drive a 2011 with ~150k miles on it, I keep up with regular basic maintenance, but overall I'm not the most mechanically inclined so I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on what happened? I didn't even realize a CVT could stall. I wasn't driving particularly hard, but I was...
  13. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    I am seeing conflicting information about whether a relearn is necessary after replacing a valve body. I had a post a few months ago about CVT issues I was experiencing on my 2011 Subaru Outback with a TR690 engine (CVT Fluid Flush After Slipping on 2011). Codes that were eventually pulled...

    Hello, I am considering to purchase MY14 Legacy Wagon 2.5i with CVT transmission. The car has "SUBARU B-5" stamped on its compliance plate. The trick is that this car had two collisions: With a large animal - replaced bonnet and one of the front/side panels. With another car - replaced another...

    Does anyone know if I can use another transmission such as TR690JHBAA instead of TR690JHABA. I know differential ratios are different. Would this work if I changed rear differential as well? Thanks

    So, I know this is an Outback forum, but we've all got CVT's and all have roughly the same wiring and computer/software tech in our subaru's. Also see some good traffic here so wanted to ask here. 2016 Crosstrek 2.0L reggy-gas no eye-sight. 122K miles, but hardly driven at all for the past year...

    Hi folks, 2011 2.5i @ 117k miles. I noticed my Subaru hesitates/jerks when I accelerate from a complete stop. This hesitation occurs between the 5-15 mph range/1-1.5 RPMs before running smoothly again. No dash lights are present. Took it to the dealership and they advised my CVT chain is...

    Hello all - I know this is an older thread....with some fairly recent posts....but I have a question. I have a 2015 TR580 with 190k miles....it it doing ok right now...but need to do an engine swap. I found a 2018 TR580 - and I am pretty sure the final gear ratio is the same...but the codes are...

    Hello everyone - I'm a new member, but have often found useful information on this forum. I have a CVT-related question, but didn't find existing threads that seemed quite the same. This is long, so I'll try to keep this well organized so it's not a wall of text Background: 2013 Outback 2.5i...

    I have been trying to figure out where I have crossed a wire and finally came to the conclusion that there is no diagram found yet on the b11-t4 plug on top of transmission for the DTC of a solenoid. The 690 information has a completely different plug with more wires. That was the original issue...
