Backed out of work spot. Drove to Drugstore. Backed out of parking space. Drove home. Pulled into driveway and went to back into my spot. Nothing. I had to push it into the spot.
Fluid is fine. No other obvious explanation. No unusual noises, clunks or bangs. Just no reverse.
Any ideas? Is this something that has happened before to anyone.

I went back out and checked the fluid after I had dinner (and cooled off a bit). It was fine, but the situation hasn't changed. Still no go in R.
Oh well. I've got a friend that is going to lend me his spare trans for his turbo wagon and I'll get mine pulled out and looked at.
In the meantime, if anyone knows the exact problem that can cause a loss of reverse but no other gear, please let me know.

I have this trans now. The cause was a burnt low/reverse clutch. Not sure if the VB caused this or just wear. The steels had hot spots on it so it could just be wear??eastcoastbumps wrote:I don't have reverse in my Legacy either.
I was just browsing to see if anyone had a solution (other than rebuilding)

A rebuilt kit is around $200.

Where can I find a rebuild kit for it? I'm assuming that the cheapest place would be an online vendor. So far $200 is the cheapest price I've seen estimated.
Someone mentioned band adjustments. I have a WRX service manual and its not mentioned in that, so I'm guessing that they don't have the same adjustments as the Legacy.
I forgot to mention this in my first post but I still have reverse. I have to rev the hell out of it to get it to move. Its just slipping. No jerkyness. And it won't reverse up hills.

WRX, Legacy Turbo
sounds like your R clutches are gone. The newer 4EATs don't have the brake band adjustment on top like the older ones. I got my kit from a local supplier Transtar.eastcoastbumps wrote:Where can I find a rebuild kit for it? I'm assuming that the cheapest place would be an online vendor.
