Thaks everyone. Once the holidays are out of the way and everyone is back in work mode, I will try to follow through with these threads. Hopefully I will find some mechanic that knows more than how to change fluids.

The Subaru is a 1999 Legacy SUS with 2.5L engine. My problem is that sometimes (more often than not) when I kick down there is a momentary lag and then what's best described as a slam into the lower gear which doesn't feel good and probably isn't. The dealer pleads ignorance as to what it might be (and I unfortunately believe it!). Any suggestions
