oddness of my oddity is being odd :/
took my pearlie for a 500-600 kms round trip to drop some rims for tony at matts place , trans was acting kinda weird the whole way , randomly downshifting and flaring so i used manual mode to hold the gears instead . i gave her a bit of a boot to over take a few cars a couple of times and it would go to 2nd and hit the limiter so i would back off , got home started the car to go to work and now the shifts are very strong and clunky like , before hand it would be like it was slipping between shifts now its just goin 1st-clunk straight to 2nd-clunk straight to 3rd , any ideas whats goin on ? maybe the lines were partially blocked and the bit of a bootfull cleared them out a bit ?

Re: oddness of my oddity is being odd :/
CHeck all the engine and transmission plugs under the bonnet. Could be that when the pulled the engine they didn't push the plugs fully in. You have 4 under the snorkle on the drives side and the transmission ones on the other side.

Re: oddness of my oddity is being odd :/
I hate to be the voice of doom, but it does look like the linings on the converter clutch have broken up to lock it up. If that is the original box, without an external strainer/filter, and the original cooler, the 500/600 K trip may have been without cooling lube getting to the gears, with more serious consequences.

do you know if any other model subaru tc's will work ? or is my best option to just take the rego off it and save for a manual swap instead of trying to fix the tc to just have some other problem arise in the auto ? i attempted to check the tps but i only had a small pin and my hands are too big to get it into the white wire between the vac hoses that are there and it was starting to rain . also with 4 or so inches of clearance and the car park being on a 20* angle its kind of not the best place to try to give the gearbox/tc a whack with a hammer . hmm i wonder if my ghetto old rolla will pass a blueslip again haha |

Re: oddness of my oddity is being odd :/
yeah thats what i was thinking becasue i can sell whatever parts are left on the car as well as it might make it easier to go 6 speed later lol
my dad thinks it could be the solenoid making the tc stay locked ? anyone know how to check that ? |

Re: oddness of my oddity is being odd :/
Just in case it helps... the guys I got my replacement engine from probably still have the gearbox. Had only done ~80000km.
