problem #1

Jan 012009

Legacy Limited 2.5L H4

  • Automatic transmission
  • 29,000 miles

When Driving The Car For Awhile The Transmission Eases Into Gear Instead Of Firmly Shifting When Coming To A Stop It Shifts Really Hard From Second To First Its A Very Annoying Problem And Yet To Fix It Its A Great Car Thats The Only Problem With It Anyone Had This Problem With Their Subaru ?

Update from Jun 18, 2009: Took It to the dealer they hooked a computer to it and reprogramed the transmission which fixed the hard 2-1 downshift but now its having a 2-3 delay and 1-2 hard shift at slow speeds also a 3rd gear shutter which the computer can not fix they have to take the tranny apart and replace the valve body if that dosent fix it they will replace the whole transmission
