starkiller Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 my 96 outback 2.5 alot of times shifts pretty hard 1-2, is there some kind of additive i can use to help this or is another one of those subie quirks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 the older 4EAT's have shift solenoids mounted on the passengers side strut tower. i intentionally disconnect them to make firmer/harder shifts. yours could be disconnected or not working properly. i'd check the connection to it (if yours has one, which i think it does) and then test it with a multimeter. you could also disconnect it to see if it stills drives the same or if the shifting changes. if shifting doesnt change after unplugging it then yours probably isn't working right.

NorthWet Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 the older 4EAT's have shift solenoids mounted on the passengers side strut tower... At the risk of me possibly being wrong: I believe that those are really resistors rather than solenoids. From what I have heard, they put the 4EAT into the same shifting mode as "POWER" mode.
