ericem Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 This has been annoying me for a while all my trannies do this but I really hate it. Wondering if this is a issue regarding the throttle position sensor or the engine isn't outputting enough power. Were talking about a 94 Legacy Turbo auto. The torque converter does lockup high, but between the 2-3k rpm range when the TC is not locked can't really accelerate it's just a free rev then I have to jump into boost it gets very annoying. Really looking forward to a 5MT swap soon! Suggestions as to what causes this would be awesome. I am thinking it might be the motor not outputting enough power for issues such as BPV not closing, vacuum boost leaks etc etc. Right now the car has been fully tuned up (plugs, wires, fuel filter, air filter, cleaned MAF, tried TD04 with 06 IC). Just annoying how it seems difficult to maintain speed. Wondering how the MAF sensor could affect this as well as I think it got worse when I touched the MAF sensor (might have dropped it as well).

Legacy777 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 It's the auto trans....it's just how it is. It may be worn, which may be making the issue worse. I'm not sure there's anything you can do about it. If you're looking to do a 5spd swap, I'd put up with it until the swap. I know I was much happier with my car once I did my 5spd swap.
