I heartily agree with Tony on the ECUTune TCUs and valve bodies.
I have three of LAN's TCUs and one valve body so far.
Asd I can afford them I will buy two more valve bodies.
There is a much higher flow of ATF, and firmer shifts.
The valve bodies are $350.00, and it takes a Subaru trans guy about three hours to install one.
