  1. Cool I checked out your thread! Thanks for keeping all of us updated on it. I think it will fix it and will probably pick that car up. So the fix would last you about a year or 20k miles right? Then you just re serviced it and it still works correct? Does that sound like a decent deal for this car? $1750 for a outback with 110k miles? Do these cars run pretty problem free? Are the trannys a weak point more than just that seal problem?
  2. Hello, I am looking at buying a 2001 Subaru outback limited addition 4 cyl Auto transmission. This car is in great condition and only has 110k miles. The car is being sold by the family because the owner passed away. History of the car is unknown but they are asking $2000 for it. It is in good condition, except when i test drove it had a strange problem When I put the car in reverse it will slip but go backwards. When I shift to drive it does nothing until I rev the car up to around 2.5-3k RPM and it will all of a sudden start to lunge forward as if I was letting the clutch out. From then on the transmission runs perfectly, It drives just like a normal A/t with no slipping. Until i either put the car in park and back into drive, then the problem resets. I can switch between drive and reverse fine without issue. I added some ATF but that did not fix anything. Just wondering if anyone has any idea what this is. Is this car gonna be worth purchasing or will it probably need a new transmission. if it is a small fix that would be great and this car should be a good deal.
