I'd definitely do the tranny flush/filter change. That's fixed any of 3 slight issues I've had with both of our 97' Sube tranny's. Though none of those were really slipping. Twice mine would just drop out of a gear for a second if I held it to the floor, but letting up on the gas dropped it back in. And my wife's was keeping the center clutch engaged a bit too much so it was binding a bit turning in parking lots. All of these issues were with around 100K miles on that set of tranny fluid/filter though and the flush/filter change fixed them. The only Slipping I've dealt with was when I tried putting in synthetic fluid in mine with 110K miles on it. Apparently mine's worn enough that it doesn't like synthetic.
The only Sube groups I'm on are the Yahoo Outback Sport lists. Not bad groups by any means, but there seems to only be a handful of people who have a whole lot of knowledge. Levi On 3/10/07, Alex Chamberlain <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I know some people here (Levi?) have experience with Subarus. Is there any good mailing list, web forum, etc. out there? The only ones I can find with a quick Google search seem devoted to souping up WRX models. My girlfriend's '98 Legacy has a slipping transmission and beyond changing the fluid/filter and checking the computer for trouble codes I'm at a loss what to do. (The only automatic I've tinkered with is the one on my 300D, and the Subaru of course has nothing like the mechanical/vacuum controls on the Benz---everything is controlled electrically, it looks like.)
