I have an '99 legacy outback w/ 94 Kmiles w/ automatic transmission. Recently, after I had the fluid changed at the dealer I noticed the car is slipping back when I stop at traffic light (on an incline). It does that both in drive and in reverse. I'm pretty sure it did not do that before.
How bad is that? I hope I'm not looking at a new trany :-(
Thanks, Dan
I hope the dealer used Dexron 2 or 3 and the fluid level is full. Did a Subaru dealer do the work or some other?? eddie
The dealer did the work. As about the level it seams full to me. Though, I could never get a real measurement. Every time I pull the deep stick out the fluid is all over it, regardless of how long I wait for it to settle (with the deep stick out) before taking another measurement.
Thanks for your answer. Dan.
