Hey guys so i just purchased my first subie, its a 91 legacy turbo with a ej20g motorswap and auto tranny with about 30k miles on it, my question is, when ever i will be driving the car around and decide to gun it, first gear goes great and onto second but one third gear hits all i hear is my engine revving but it doesn't pull at all until i let off the gas and then it catches, when driving slowly it goes fine but when you really step on it, it doesn't really catch... So i was just wondering if all automatics do this? or if maybe its a tuning issue? and last if there is anyways to get it to always shift right
Kind of sounds like the clutches are slipping on the 2-3 shift. You can try checking/replacing the trans fluid. It may help, but may just be an issue with the trans.
Whats the best way to do a tranny swap? would a wrx 5-speed tranny fit? and what would be the cheapest way to go about doing this? PIA is right down the road from my house...lol
