Re: Transmission Issue.... need advice
Could be a bad torque converter.

Re: Transmission Issue.... need advice
Is there any way to find out for sure??
Is a torque converter something that would cause the tranny to act "almost" normal until it heats up... and then fail completely?

Re: Transmission Issue.... need advice
Sorry no good news Matt. It looks like the sprague clutch in the box has failed and is slipping.
This bit says it. Quote:

Re: Transmission Issue.... need advice
Guess I'm searching the forum for a cheap used tranny then.
Or.......... listing it on ebay for whatever I can get for it. Beautiful car... runs beautifully too.... such a shame this happened..... I'm not dropping huge $$$ into it though. Just wish the car had lasted more than 16 months. I did everything right... babied it.... changed the fluids.... installed aftermarket cooler and filter... and the damn thing still crapped out on me.

Re: Transmission Issue.... need advice
Naa... this car was never meant as an "investment".... just a commuter for the wife.
We're moving to Texas in 8 months anyway.... and we were contemplating selling it for a few extra bucks to help with the move anyway. 2 drivers and 4 cars doesn't make moving easy. I think we're just going to drop it on Ebay with no reserve... and get whatever we can for it. Someone is going to get a REALLY nice SVX.... if they happen to have an extra tranny lying around.

Using http://www.car-part.com there are a few 4.44 trannies for around $500 in UT. Search for a 97 Legacy Transmission, then choose AT 2.5 Outback...

Re: Transmission Issue.... need advice
I just did the Subaru 4EAT class, sounds like the one-way sprag clutch is faling, as someone described. In manual first, the low clutch is used to hold the gear instead of the one-way clutch, for engine braking, which is why you have manual first but not D range first...

Re: Transmission Issue.... need advice
I just realized this was the car that I saw at Reading 10 when Tom and the guys still had it. That car is a great car. Really hope that it goes to a good home.
