Hey fellas, I have a 91 legacy wagon with automatic and 4wd. Lately it has been slow to shift into reverse. when I shift into reverse, it will not engage immediately, and will rev up and then catch. any ideas? tranny fluid looks ok.
thanks,
jeremy

so can I fill a little more tranny fluid in without risking blowing a seal? Some of my friends who are into 4x4ing overfill slightly to compensate when they are at a steep angle. those are strong chevy trannys though...
anyone think the subaru seals can take it?

If you give the dealer your vin number they should be able to run it and see if this recall has been performed yet. If it is not, they should honor it.
It will not affect your parking brake. What it modifies is the parking pawl, which is like a "catch" that keeps the transmission from moving.

well, it does it more from drive than from park. its real bad sometimes, have to wait a few seconds, but then sometimes its immediate. doesn't matter if its on a slope or anything. the TC draining definitely sounds plausible. I'm just too lazy/busy to go to the dealer.
