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, most of which where pointing to the Transmission needing to be replaced.
Does anyone have recommendation on where to go for this. Local guy quoted $8500 (he said new transmission, although questioning that) but it also seems a little out of his scope to handle. I've been trying to look around myself but haven't seem to found much in the way of re-manufactured.
2nd question is if there is anything else we should be looking at on the car to make sure it's worth repairing. Car is at about 150K, has given us very little problems. We did have the Engine Short Block replaced ad 60K for oil consumption issue. Another question is if there is other maintenance we should consider with the transmission out (and assuming they drop the engine also)
Appreciate any help or insight.
Edit to add that I am southwestern CT, north of Bridgeport
