Re: Transmission Issue.... need advice
I would not be sure that the tranny is gone here... I had a similar experience and all I did was change the AT fluid and clean the screen etc. Changed it a couple more times over a month and it was fine. Small price to pay... if it does not work well you have not lost much

A case of Subaru ATF, a bottle of red Lubegard and some filters are a cheap thing to try. Even if you keep it on Ebay you can update the listing to say that it has a working tranny and you will get a lot more $$$. Worth a shot.......

Re: Transmission Issue.... need advice
I wouldn't feel comfortable putting additives in it, and making the tranny last a little longer.... to sell it as a "perfectly running car".
I would rather be 100% honest about it, and maybe (if you are correct), the new owner will get "lucky". Thats why I made the videos.... I figure the more info the buyer has, the better off he/she is.

If it gets the car running again you can tell the prospective buyers that it is running again, what was happening, what you did to get it running right again and why you think it helped. A small investment may still gain you big returns even with full disclosure. A small investment can have a big return.

These are the only gears that don't use the two freewheels, they use the 'low/reverse brake' instead. Harvey.
