Hi, Im new to subaru and i dont know much about them, so if i say somthing wrong, please correct me... Here goes,
I just got my very first Subaru Legacy LS(only traded it for a PentiumII PC, hehehe) the body doesn't look too bad and the engine runs like new. The reason I got the car for so cheap was that 1. It has no title, that I can fix. 2. Busted out Taillights, also an easy fix, but mainly there is a major problem with the automatic transmission.
When starting from a dead stop, I give a little gas and she goes fine, with the exception of the ocasional slip. As i climb through the RPMs she hesatates shifting into 2nd gear. I can sometimes make her shift into 2nd by letting off of the throttle a bit, but it doesn't always work. Sometimes she shifts, sometimes not. when "Manual Shifting" it does the same thing. 1st & 3rd work fine(im not in an area that i can get above 40mph to test 4th)
Out of the Information that i've gone through, i've discovered that the TCU is displaying a code#15(Shift Solenoid #1) Im thinkig that may be the problem, but not 100% sure. I wanted to try fixing that before rebuilding the entire tranny(as it is costly) I'm planing to mod the car asap, but right now, i just want to get her running right.
I dont know where the solenoid is on the tranny or where i can buy another solenoid. If you guys could help me with this, it would be very much apreaciated. Any information would help me.
Thanks,
Tim
