Hi mate, can you send me your contact details? Are you still selling the genuine sensors?

Thanks

Only just read this request. Best send email to me at gmail. Google search this for listing,

" Trademe Subaru transmission Turbine speed 2 sensor for P1710 fault'

It may pick up an old listing but just search new listings.

 

Hi would you ship to the UK?

 

Hello everyone,
I recently went through this frustration with my granddaughter's 2008 Legacy GT. I paid over $200 to get a sensor overnight out of Canada.
As a result of that experience I decided to make the sensor available here in the US at reasonable price. You can get it with or without the filter. I'm new here so I can't post links so you'll have to search the Ebay items manually.
With filter. Item # 133239156024
Without filter. Item# 133200929693

 

Update:
I've gotten tons of great feedback on these parts. Thank you to anyone that has purchased to help me keep this going.
Please note that the Ebay item number for the sensor with filter has changed to 133417836227.

Its seeming like I am having this issue and will be getting that sensor. Is there a write-up or video on how to do this job?

From what I can tell, I need to unbolt the pan and let that drain, remove the pan, remove the bolts for the valve body, remove valve body and than replace the sensor.

 

I had same problem with p1710. Just replaced the sensor. Color wire did not match so first try did not work. 2nd try it worked. Never had hard shifting since.

 

What colors did you have to match up? The new sensor has red, blue and green and the old sensor has red, green and purple. Matching the red-red, green-green, and purple-blue didn't work.

 

I have a 2008 legacy GT. It was having random very hard shifts and random P1710 fault code. 99.9% of the time it drove smoothly. I noticed that these faults occurred under hard acceleration or on inclines. Research led me to " turbine speed 2 sensor ", this being a Hall effect transducer which incorporates a transistor sensor component. Often when transistors begin to fail it is heat related, so I reduced the oil level and found that there were no more fault codes but I still had the odd random shift. Which confirmed the sensor was overheating from the oil. Subaru's fix for this known problem is to replace the valve body with an upgraded version. I then removed the valve body, detached the sensor, fitted a generic 1/2" Hall effect [$55] sensor in exactly the same position and height to the valve body. I solder joined the pwr/grd/ signal wires to the harness. To date after 9 weeks, the car drives like new, no hard shifts no fault codes.

‼‼‼ where can i find this part please any info on where u got it and this u put new trans fluid or same one ‼‼‼

Just google. P1710 fix subaru. I ordered one via aliexpress.

 

@skrew71 did it work out?

 

I ordered another sensor with the correct color wires just to be safe and after it arrived (3 weeks), I got the code again and took it to the dealership with the new sensor showing them the codes and giving them the sensor to replace. They approved my warranty repair, but said they don't replace just the sensor only the entire valve body. So now my car has been at the dealership since June 29th and I've been given 3 loaners: a 2023 crostrek, the blue 2023 outback wilderness (absolutely loved it!!!) and now I have a 2024 base model outback. Good news is the repair is free (get the aftermarket extended warranty) but now I have an $80 sensor I no longer need. Also, I still don't have my car back...

 

Does anyone know a good Subaru Mechanic in Portland, OR that would do (or has done) this P1710 repair of just the sensor? Or am I stuck doing the messy job myself?

 

Hey, did you use Superior Soobie or find another shop in Portland that would replace just the turbine sensor 2? Thanks!

 

Superior Soobie and Import, Milwaukie, Oregon

user GeneralDisorder over at ultimatesubaru.org owns this shop - extremely knowledgeable and experienced.

 

So I just had a shop replace the sensor on my 2014 outback and he cannot get the tranny to reset. He says once you drain all the fluid out of the tranny, it has to "relearn" everything. What is up with that??? He wants to blame the after market sensor. I am already going to be into this guy for about a grand and climbing.

 

If you drain and fill the trans fluid a relearn is NOT required.

If you replace the valve body the service manual advises to do a transmission relearn BUT there are several forum members that have replaced the valve body themselves and not done a relearn and there were no problems.

Sounds like the shop do not know what they are doing.

As stated by @seagrass, a TCU relearn should not be required for an oil change.

If they have attempted a relearn and it didn’t work, that suggests there is something wrong somewhere. Either they are not doing the relearn process properly (car on jack stands etc) or the process is bombing out because something is not quite right in the tranny.

 

So how complex is this "relearn" process? And I asked him to get the aftermarket sensor and he did the best he could to reconnect but the wire colors are not the same and none of the wires in the sensor indicated ground, power, or signal. He simply went by the order they came out of the sensor and matched it to the original sensor color order.

And thanks to you both seagrass and rimwall for your replies. This is going to be a very expensive learning for me and I am too old to be learning new crap.

 

The relearn on the 5EAT is very easy.

Get all four wheels of the vehicle off the ground.

Connect service tool to OBD2 port and select transmission relearn.

Follow instructions on the screen. Basically start engine, wait for transmission to be at correct temp, hold foot on brake and select gears as advised by service tool. When process completes (about 5 mins) Turn off engine, lower vehicle and test drive.

Sounds like the sensor may be wired wrong. If they use a multi meter on the old sensor they will be able to identify which wires feed the coil and which is ground etc. if they then check the new sensor they will be able to determine which wires perform the same functions. This should not be a complex process for a workshop.

I know this is an old post, but is there anyone still out there who did this fix? I have a 2010 Tribeca that's doing this and would like to ask some questions.
Thanks,
Rob

 

I recently did the sensor replacement, and it worked out great. I couldn't find a good video on the process, so I did one...
