Transmission Dropping Gears?

If it's not one thing it's another with this damn car. Today, when I left to head down to Chicago from Wisconsin, when I took off, it shifted hard for no reason, and then had no 4th gear. Whenever I would step on the gas, the RPMs would jump, then it would grab, staying in 3rd. I've had transmission...

Erratic Starter Behavor

As of late, the starter in my 1991 Legacy LSi has been getting more and more fussy. Some days, it's perfect, it just turns right over, engine starts right up and I'm off to work and what not. As of late, it's delaying, I turn the key, and nothing, just a click under the hood. I've found that if I ho...

I had a similar issue on my '90 4EAT (before the turbo swap). Any load on the tranny and it made a 'whirring' noise...shifted fine - no other issues. I was told by another Subie owner it was likely the internal seals....but not confirmed by a mechanic. I replaced the tranny before it actually faile...

Yeah. It was doing it under load. I checked a few times and found the transmission to have been overfilled by almost 2 quarts. I drained it back out and added in 5 clean fresh quarts, and it seems to be the magic amount the transmission wanted. I can't really recreate the noise now, when I hear a hi...

New Subaru Owner, Strange transmission noise.

A friend of mine completely sold me on Subaru, so I went out and located my self a FWD 1991 Subaru Legacy LSi with 170,000 miles. It has the 2.2L N/A with the 4EAT Autotragic. Other than a mysterious oil leak (Oil seperator plate?), everything on it is perfect for what I was looking for. I flushed o...
