2001 Subaru Outback 2.5 AT Replaced all bearings and seals in the transmission. Got everything put back in place. Replaced all transmission fluid with Subaru OEM AT Fluid. Car starts fine and runs though all gears fine but the wheels barely spin. Something is amiss. Any ideas? P.S. My mechanic is a leaving on a plane in 8 hours... So if you have any ideas, don't hesitate to reply.

Ok.. in this case the solution was to tighten down a rocker arm. 45 minutes of socket work and it was done. Thanks guys!

I had two mechanics come out to do a diagnostic on it. They narrowed it down to a sticky lifter or a cylinder #4 rod knock.

Grossgary, "My car recently had both heads replaced, new timing belt & tensioner kit too." The entire timing kit set was replaced less than 5k miles ago.

No, I never had a problem with it over heating before the head gasket replacement.

Perhaps you've been a victim or savior of something like this and have more of a clue than I do... My car recently had both heads replaced, new timing belt & tensioner kit too. It has 140k on it. This morning it starting this terribly loud knocking. It sounds just like this guys' video. Any Idea? Piston slap? Rod Knock? After all the work I've had done on it, I'm about at my wits end. JCB
