Problem I'm having with car shifting

Aug 19, 2005 1 Replies

I went over a speedbump today (apprently too fast) and immediately my Subaru Outback was very sluggish in shifting gears (it is an automatic). After stopping at a light and going again it acted like it wanted to stall but then got going ok. Did this several more times on the way to work. I'm thinking that something got messed up in the shifting by hitting the speedbump or maybe the idle got out of whack. Any ideas?



Word from the dealership this morning is the oxygen sensor is malfunctioning. Will cost around $220 to fix it. Not too bad, at least it is not the transmission like I feared it might be.
