  1. Engine & Drivetrain
    A few months ago my Subaru outback legacy four cylinder 2.5 l which had 250,000 mi on it blew first gear. The synchronizers were pretty loose and I attribute the damage to the age of the transmission. I replaced it with a used transmission from a junkyard and have had very little problem, but I...

    I recently picked up my 2012 Outback 3.6r a few months ago, it only has around 130k on it, and overall drives really great. However. I have noticed that ONLY when I am driving through snowy windy conditions on the highway the car will jerk. It is like it will lose power or can't find the right...

    Data point: I have pushed my transmission to the limit in a most recent road trip in Arizona / Utah. The AT Oil Temp light and check engine light have been flashing on/off for those days and finally the harsh shifts came up one cold morning. On the way back near Vegas, the transmission harsh...

    Our 2013 Outback Premium just recently lost drive recently. Wife was driving when she got multiple lights on the dash and wasn't getting anything from the gas. Engine was still running and brakes worked, so she got to the side of the road for AAA. Local repair person said we had about 9 codes...
  6. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    Hi all. I’m having an issue that I’d love some input on. I’ll try to make this clear, starting with two possibly relevant details - My OBW is a 2006 2.5i Manual Transmission and I had the front passenger side CV axle replaced a few weeks ago. The Symptoms: When I accelerate, there is a very...

    Had to have the transmission on my 20' XT replaced in Feb of '22. Subaru dealership where I had it towed said the damage was not covered and it was on me. Having just moved to PA, I didn't know where else to go or who to trust...so like a fool I had them replace it there. It cost almost half of...

    I just acquired a used 2006 legacy Outback 2.5 and it is pulling a code I cannot locate P1817. I know it had a broken water pump which I am replacing. It however would not start.

    I have a 2015 Outback with a 2.5L and automatic transmission (CVT) with about 70,000 miles. I hear a very light noise when coasting to a stop. It stops when the transmission shifts down to first gear and sounds like it might be a chain noise. This is fairly new and was not always there. I...

    At low speed (mostly stop and go speeds) it feels like the transmission goes into a gear a bit too high for the speed and the engine almost stalls until the car get's up to speed. I can work around the problem by going in Manual mode and keeping it in first gear. Any suggestions would be greatly...

    For the last year or so I’ve been trying to figure out what this could be I’ve taken it to a few different shops and they don’t know so maybe someone here can help. When the vehicle is in 5th gear and accelerating around 2000-2500rpm I get a pretty intense shudder sometimes feeling like it’s...

    It looks like the CVT Pulley Chain in my transmission has stretched, according to a diagnosis done by a local CVT shop. I haven't gotten an official quote on how much a new unit + labor would be from them, but the mechanic stated it would be close to $8,000, which is close to what I paid for the...

    Hi everyone! Recently my H6 sedan w/o VDC has been producing a whining noise in front, can especially feel it in the shifter. Took it to the mechanic but was told it's "A OK" to drive. Well, upon driving on the freeway, the whining turned into a grinding noise (similar to plastic grating a...

    So i just replaced my AT in my 07 2.5i outback. The car ran fine before taking out the bad transmission but after putting everything back together I cannot get the car to start. I am able to put the car in neutral and push it around. When turning the ignition, i hear a clicking sound but car...

    Hello all, I am new to this forum and relatively new to Subaru as well and I am running into a bit of a customer satisfaction problem and was wondering if anyone here could give me some advice on how to approach the situation. About 2 months ago, my 2020 Outback Limited had the transmission...

    Hi all, first post, long time lurker. Anyways, I have an '03 Bean and as the title implies, I need to swap out the front diff (it grenaded), the rest of the trans is good. I know gear ratio is important but I'm kind of limited on swap options as I can't find another '03 Bean at the moment. I...

    Hello everyone. A few weeks ago I was driving my 02 Outback 2.5 with an automatic transmission and a hit some woody debris on the road at about 40 mph and definitely heard a thump underneath the car. When I got home and put the car in park I noticed that I now feel a vibration and a muted rough...
