My 97 outback AWD has been shifting hard between first and second. Lags downshifting from 2nd to 1st somewhat, too.
Weird thing is only happens when I am accelerating lightly. If I accelerate hard, it seems to shift pretty smoothly.
ATF level is fine. Fluid does not seem burned.
I'm a pretty competent shadetree mechanic, but this is my first AWD car, so I don't know much about chasing down problems with AWDs. I've heard about varying front and rear tire treads affecting the trans, but I have no idea what the tolerances are.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Automatic transmission, 2/5L
