    First time Subaru owner. Issue of stalling on hard brakes. Dealership says replace both torque converter and transmission for 7,500. What I see online, most resolved the problem by replacing converter only for 1500(parts and labor).

    Yes, parts are expensive. Converter with labor is $1500 - labor is high because you have to drop the transmission to get to it. So if that is the case, the transmission is $6,000? A 1/4 of the cost of the car? I don't think so.

    Car shudders when coming to a hard brake and then stalls. From what I have found online, it's a known issue with 2010, 11, and 12 Legacy. I took it to the dealership and they say it is a blockage in the torque converter and that it and the transmission need to be replaced - $7500. From posts I have seen online elsewhere, most have replaced the converter ONLY for $1500. Anyone have any experience with this? And can one tell me as to why if both are replaced the cost is so high?
