  1. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    Alrighty y’all, I’ve never posted anything on a forum but since there isn’t a trace of my problem from what I’ve been able to find. So basically I’ve got a phase 2 ej22 I’m preparing to turbo, but since I bought it from a dealership a few months ago when the car downshifts for hard acceleration...
  2. Gen 1: 1995-1999
    So I just got this car a month and a half ago, and I went to back out of a parking spot a couple days ago and after she was in reverse I put my foot on the gas and she jolted back and I heard a grinding noise, I went and parked in a different part of the parking lot, checking the transmission...

    Was under the car for an oil change yesterday and noticed some oil stain near the transmission pan. Noticed the source looked to be somewhere above the pan but close. Without looking further into it, it looks to be a small leak, possibly coming from the axle shaft seal on the right front. No...
  4. Outback Shopping
    Looking to buy a used 2011 outback with 186,000 miles. Current owner is not aware if the transmission has ever been serviced. I just had my current outback die on me due to the transmission (and lack of service) and trying to avoid repeating this issue. If the car is running fine now, could it...

    Hi all, I purchased my 2004 H6 Bean Edition last August with 73k miles on the odometer. Automatic 4EAT. With one owner and a good service record, I had it shipped from several states away, thought it was a good deal but turned out to be a financial nightmare. The problems: -Low/mid range...

    Bought a 2014 outback 175k miles it’s drives great but the brake light keeps flashing and the ATTemp Light keeps flashing I bought a Bluetooth diagnostic tool that monitors everything while I’m driving and it’s saying what I’m seeing it’s driving great. These are the codes I’m currently getting...
  7. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    Hello all, 5th gear gave out on my 02 base Outback and I'm looking to replace instead of rebuild. I have a 5MT in the car coded TY754VCBCA. I'm pretty sure this is a 4.11 final drive gear ratio based on research I've done. This leads to my question...does anyone know if a JDM TY754VBBBA will...

    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...
  9. Gen 2: 2000-2004
    I just put the engine back into my Subaru. When I turn the engine over by hand, the wheels don’t turn, when I push the car forward, the engine doesn’t turn over. The car has a new clutch and pressure plate installed along with a new throw out bearing and pilot bearing. I bled the clutc I’m...
  10. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    Hi all. I have a 2018 Outback. A few months ago the engine would choke and sputter when I would try to accelerate on a cold engine. I took it into Subaru and they determined it needed a new transmission. Immediately after the transmission was replaced, under warranty, I got a check engine light...

    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...

    Hello Folks, I have a 2008 Outback 2.5i with 173000km, and I tow a small utility trailer to bring stuff to a market. The total towing weight I am doing is approximately 1500lb. Recently I was driving up a long incline and I pushed on the pedal to keep highway speed of 100km/h. The vehicle...
  13. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    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...
  14. Engine & Drivetrain
    How long is the transmission dipstick on a 2002 outback VDC? The one on mine is a little over 15 inches - not including handle - which looks barely long enough to get into the transmission. I filled up the ATF to between low and max and am getting grinding noises in N, R and P that weren't there...
  15. Gen 2: 2000-2004
    I have a 2003 Subaru outback H6 3.0. Transmission went out a few months ago. Just found a 2002 Subaru outback H6 3.0 in a junkyard and I went to see if it was still there. Can I put the 2002 transmission directly into a 2003? I don't believe I have a VDC. I know the transmissions do vary by 1...

  17. Engine & Drivetrain
    I'm replacing my failed CVT transmission in my 2011 Subaru Outback 2.5L (150k miles). I've ordered a 2012 Outback transmission that I plan to swap it with. One part I'm uncertain of is whether or not I need to reprogram the transmission. I've heard conflicting things and I wanted to make sure...

    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...
  19. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    My 2019 3.6 Outback started blowing blue smoke going up a hill at about 70 kph at the end of February. I nursed it to the nearest garage 1 km away and checked the oil - all good. No indication of any problems on the dash. I only just managed to park it nearby because it didn't want to move. The...
