Alright...so i got the ATF flushed (T-tech) at Mr Lube...and what do you know! Its gone...the shudder,etc...rides great.. The fluid in was really black too...so glad... It got me wondering about any other fluid that I should change which normally doesnt get changed like the differential? Is there any other fluid that I should check out a high mileage (180km) subaru? thx again

Hey man...really appreciate your post. Thanks for the clarification. Well...am going to get the fluid done first and see what happens after that...will let you know... thx Simon

Hey guys, I know this has been discussed a lot here...in fact spent about 30-40 mins going through old posts....I just have a clarification on this: I am thinking of taking it to a shop who said the solenoid may have gone bad. If the FWD fuse works (no grinding) does this mean the solenoid is working and doesnt need to be replaced or checked? But I am thinking I will first try doing a fluid flush....but just wanna know if the solenoid could have gone bad (then i'll take it to the shop)....plus does the solenoid have anything to do with fuel mileage? Its a 98 Legacy GT (2.5) ps: am a real newbie for car repairing stuff but learning....thx
