    Hi. So, I have been working on restoring a 2002 Outback Sedan 2.5 automatic, but I am experiencing some issues with the automatic transmission. Everytime I start the engine and drive, the transmission takes a long time to shift gears (up to 3500RPM), and when it does, I can feel it shock (2nd...

    I have a 97 Impreza Outback Sport, AWD, 2.2l with the 5 speed manual and its going. I was wondering if anyone knew what vehicles share this transmission because I am currently starting the process of looking for a replacement.

    I have a 2011 Outback with blown head and an opportunity to get a 05 3.0 LL Bean Outback in beautiful condition and a blown tranny. Any chance it’s a simple swap? I can bring the rear differential to maintain gear ratios.

    I have a 2005 Subaru Outback AWD 4 Cylinders 6 2.5L FI SOHC 150 CID. Last night my daughter pulled over to wait for an accident to clear. When she attempted to start there was a grinding crunching noise when moving forward in drive. It seemed normal in reverse. She called me and I suggested...

    I have a Gen 5 with over 100k miles. I was recently driving off-road on the sand and loose over hard surfaces fire roads and noticed that the fronts seem to dig in and spin quite a bit before the rear. I was driving up a relatively steep, loose small rocks over hard road and the front tires were...

    Hello, i recently bought a 2011 outback (base no turbo) with ~72k miles on it and have noticed it stalling out after long trips. Recently took it over the grapevine and the “At oil temp” light came on, and then went away after i started going downhill towards Bakersfield. As soon as i hit my...

    My wife's 2008 OBW with 150k miles on it was making a loud noise up front while driving. Since I work from home now, didnt get to hear it until it was quite pronounced. So drove it for a while and came to the consensus that I had a wheel bearing issue in what sounded like the drivers front...

    I have a 2019 2.5L that I bought from Subaru in August, this is almost my first ever Subaru. As soon as cooler weather hit, I noticed it was taking a long time to begin warming up. I started monitoring the issue since the dealership concluded that this is "normal" for Subaru. Of course, the...

    My 2010 has about 130K miles -- bought it at 98K and I suspect a previous owner may have towed something (it has a trailer hitch). A few weeks ago the brake warning light started flashing and I learned that it's because the electronic parking brake actuator had failed. The dealer would replace...

    Hi, all. I see a few of us need a new transmission in our 2022 Wilderness Outbacks. Has anyone gotten theirs back yet? Did it fix the noise issue? (Mine just went in.).

    Does anyone know what subarus have a compatible trans with a 2004 Subaru outback manual trans naturally aspirated base model. I have a 2004 Subaru outback and the trans locked up and my car came to a screeching halt, while is 1st gear, going about 5-10 mph. My personal diagnosis is that the...

    Need help! I just started working on a 2011 Outback that's been sitting for a while. When I turn the engine on, the "At Oil Temp" light starts blinking immediately. I know usually that light means the transmission is too hot typically due to low transmission fluid levels but what bugs me is that...

    Hello everyone. I drive a 2019 Outback Touring 3.6R I purchased new on 12/27/2018. I drive a lot of miles (45k-50k annually), so keeping up with my vehicle's maintenance, meaning fluids, is very important. I have my CVT serviced approximately every 50k miles, and recently had my dealer service...

    Hello. My 2012 Subaru Outback has all of its sensor lights(check engine,oil, water radio) blinking on and off but drives fine.

    Hello, I noticed recently that my 2012 3.6R 6AT seems to shift up too early/at lower rev (~2500). What could be the root cause for this type of symptom? I haven't checked the trans-fluid yet, could low transmission fluid cause this? Does low-trans fluid have light sensor on the dashboard or I...

    So I've been desperately trying to get the valve body fixed on my 2013 Subaru Outback that's throwing a P0971 code (checked by the dealer). The dealer is only willing to change the entire transmission which is egregious obviously since it's probably actually only a single $150 solenoid that's...

    So I managed to pick up a bone stock XT with a manual a few months ago and I've been working on replacing the old parts. One issue that I've run into is that the transmission makes a grinding noise when I am in gear but not touching the gas. If the trans is out of gear, it does not make a...
