ostraciseme Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Hi everyone, I've got a 2010 Subaru Forester with 4EAT (TZ1B8LCZAA) recently bought second-hand. The car has 150k miles, was diagnosed with torque binding, had had the tranny flushed twice before I bought it. Front diff oil seems new, tranny fluid seems new, all the levels are close to OK. I tried the tight circles trick and the FWD/AWD fuse trick. The duty solenoid C seems ok, not sure about the clutch pack. The tranny was diagnosed to be replaced. I was quoted $1700-2200 for the replacement at a local independent Subaru-only shop, although had read that it could be around $500 for a used tranny under 50k from a wrecked car and $300 for the labor. Two days ago the tranny started to behave weirdly. It just doesn't engage. The engine starts normally, the tranny switches from P to D and to R, to SPORT, to N, to 1 or 2, sometimes the car drives than it gradually stops moving. After a while (half an hour or so, when it probably cools down) it can start and move again. No error codes whatsoever. I tried the self-diagnostic combination using low-beam and odometer and it showed P----, blinking P, C----. 1. Can anyone guess what it is? 2. Any suggestions of where in Charleston, SC can I get a tranny and any recommended shops to do that at a decent price. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudey Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 is it binding when turning corners, or just when normal driving? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
