the torque converter was going bad and cluch packs .. along with a brass fiting that was broken that sent pressure to the RWD cluch packs causing the RWD never to kick in.. i put up posts abought this concern. the FWD was spining but the RWD never kicked in.

well he said the reason the transmsion went bad was due to a TPS sesnor sending a wrong signal out "volatge" has any one ever heard of this hapeneing wouldnt a check engine line turn on.??

he said that if i dont get it replaced soon it will fail again also i wil see better preformnce from the enigne..

i have never heard of a TPS causing this..send wrong voltage out,, is this true or is he giving me aline of b.s ?

he said the part was aroun 250.00 from subaru..

any ideas or input would help me out =>

other wise the transmsion shift awsome, kicks in nice and drives like its brand new. and verry glad to have my baby back .
Solar,
I'm afraid this could be true. Mine was giving me a 2-3 flare and the transmission shop replaced the TPS to make it go away. According to the tranny tech, the signal was within "tolerance," so, it didn't output a "code" to the system. At any rate, the flare went away after it was replaced.
