1999legacy

I have a 1999 Legacy and we ran into the same issue at just about 66K. Sounds like the same symtoms. We actually had the extended warranty and assumed it was covered. I actually had to provided documentation for them to cover the darn thing. They said the car had not been brought in for the 60K servive. Long story short, I had a lot of documentation for the car and a small threat of an attorney and then they were happy to fix the problem. Here is the REAL KICKER. While talking to the mechanic, he said they were going to replace the entire transmission. This really got my attention. I ask the him why. He said the new transmission has better parts and design than the old one. I asked him was there a defect in the design of the old one. He said with a grin, I am not a liberty to say but you do the math. Hope this helps,
