I have a 1996 Legacy GT wagon with the same symptomology: intermittent AT Oil flashing on start up, sometimes transmission "drag" and binding in corners. Othertimes, runs as sweet as ever. My mechanic (maybe ex-mechanic) is pushing for a $3400 rebuilt transmission replacement. What do the masters think? I am but the grasshopper. If you read the ECC, will it say Duty C solenoid? What does a Duty C replacement run, or can I do it (good with tools, scars to prove)? Any GOOD mechanics in Berkeley? Thanks in advance! O
