if it helps, this is the product i used to solve the problem "Trans-X Automatic Transmission Slip-Stop & Leak Fix"

i got a '99 jdm legacy tt, and yes i understand the lag theory. What it is is the second turbo kicking in at about 5000rpms. i'm also trying to overcome this but have not yet found a solution.

trans x rocks!!!!! Gentlemen problem solved. No overheating either. new end tank and i love the car again. thank you guys

I also noticed that the radiator is very thin, like a single core. I don't know if the other subaru's cary the same radiator or if this one was changed. I can see why it would overheat if there's a water leak. keep you fingers crossed let's put some positive energy to work!!

Also, head gasket trouble with the 2.5 DOHC is such that exhaust gas enters the cooling system where the head gasket has failed. There will not be any contamination of motor oil in the cooling system. yess added to the tranny, my bad. oh by the way my engine is a 2.0 twin turbo not the 2.5. Well let's hope the head gaskets are fine. is there any other way to tell if they are bad other the than the overheating? i'm hoping it's just the radiator. Again thanks for the feedback. I'll keep you posted with the results later tonight.

Well let's hope not, there wasn't any oil traces in the coolant though, and the engine oil is still clear and clean! I'll get the radiator tomorrow and will re-install it. I already added the trans X to the crank case. So tomorrow night i'll take her for a drive and the problems should be solved. Let's hope!!!!

I live in the caribbean, yeah right hand drive jap spec. the $300 would be to replace both end tanks, the core is fine. a little pricy here but those are the prices. well it did over heat because there wasn't any coolant leaft in the radiator. the coolant was spouting out from the seams on the end tanks. the car ran fine for 3 days and then boom. maybe after using several radiator flush the seals break down. Either way tomorrow i will take it to a radiator shop to have it repaired. i'll pour in the trans X today and then tomorrow in the evening when i reinstall the radiator i can take her for a drive and the tranny issue should be solved as well. i put a radiator stop leak in it and it held up fine for 1 day with the temp gauge at about half. the next day it started spouting out again. problem will be resolved tomorrow. i will post as soon as i'm ready!!! thanks again for the feedback. i really love tis car and can't wait to have her back on the road.

Yeah thanks! I actually got the trans x at a local napa dealer. i'' take care of that tomorrow. The tranny fluid is actually clean. was recently serviced in japan before the car was shipped. i have another problem though, the radiator does not hold presure, coolant spouting every where. is this normal if the car was for a long time in a lot? any way that's going to cos me about $300.00 to have the tanks repaired. thanks again other than these 2 frustrating issues the car is perfect. thanks again for your help. does anyone know what a jap spec auto legacy twin turbo does down the quarter mile?

Guys well i guess i'm just one more with the same problem. I just joined the forum an actually just bought a '99 Legacy RSK Twin Turbo. It worked fine for one day and now i have this exact problem. tranny won't always engage unless i rev a little. i'm going to get myself some additives tomorrow if i can't find the famous product. if not i will order it and should have it withing a week. I will keep you up to date if this works for me as well. thanks a million!!!!
