I installed a 20 amp fuse in the FWD drive slot under the hood near the passenger strut. The binding I was getting before I installed the fuse is now gone. Is this an indication that the clutch packs are bad, or the Duty C Solenoid is faulty. And which is the more costly repair? Thanks!

What are the ramifications of driving the car with a faulty Duty C solenoid? I’ve probably driven the car 70 miles since the AT Oil Temp light began flashing.

Ok, will do. Thank you!

Thank you for the advice! I’ve looked for the filter you’re talking about on the passenger side of the engine bay... but have had no success finding it. Can you give me a bit more detail as to it’s location? My EGR valve, when pressed in by hand, has no impact on how the car is running. I assume when pressing on it, it should cause the engine to want to stall... is that correct? Is that an indication that the valve in fact needs replacement? Also, is there a good place to test the wiring from the duty c solenoid (under hood or under car)? Is there a specific wire color associated with the solenoid? I want to ensure I’m testing the solenoid and not another component. Still new to Subaru so any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you?

I checked the fuse box for the fwd fuse and didn’t see a spot for the fuse. Is it labeled as something different? Possibly located outside the fuse box? I don’t have an owners manual so no, I haven’t read the owners manual. I’ve looked online to try and retrieve a manual with no success. Any additional info would be greatly appreciated. Also, would a mechanical failure cause the AT oil temp light to flash? Thank you!

The mileage is absolutely accurate. What is harder to replace, the duty C solenoid or the clutch packs?

The AT Oil Temp light is a steady flash. It’s starts as soon as I start the car (even if the engine is cold) till I shut the car off. The car didn’t do this until I used the seafoam treatment. Tires are all the same. Same size, brand, and air pressure. Trans fluid looks great... pink and full. What is the duty C solenoid?

Please help! I just bought a 99 Subaru Legacy Outback with the 2.5l H4 motor and automatic trans. Car has 46k miles. I used Seafoam through a vacuum line to clean the engine because I was told the car had been sitting for a while. I put 1/3 of the can in at idle and then shut the car off to let the product soak in for 30 min. Upon starting the vehicle back up I noticed the AT oil temp flashing steadily. I performed a 10 mile drive to clear the seafoam out as directed... and the AT oil temp was still flashing. I let the car sit overnight and started it cold... Light is still flashing. Trans fluid is very clean, however, when making tight turns it feels like the car is grabbing hard. When the wheel is straight the car moves freely with very minimal gas given. Now my check engine light is on and I’m getting a P400 code for EGR. Any ideas? Thanks!
