93Newbaru Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) 90' Legacy 2.2 non turbo automatic. Moved very slowly at high RPM. Tranny was very low on fluid, just a sliver of dirty fluid on the dipstick while not running. Drained fluid, less than a quart of dirty fluid spilled out. Filled while idling until decent amount on dipstick. Started in 1 on shifter and it felt like it had all the power it needed, excitement. Selected 2, 3, then neutral but it still wanted to drive in neutral, no reverse, and felt like it was still in gear in park (like it had a load on it and would not free rev) Full test drive it shifts 1, 2, then free revs. Sometimes can make it catch 3rd but it bogs badly and usually slips out. Also has intermittent check engine light:popcorn: I read a handful of threads before this post, but nobody seemed to have the exact same problems I have. I purchased this car mainly for the motor and spare parts, but if the trans was an easy fix I could drive it as is or sell for profit. I've owned many Autos with problems but have never actually fixed them, either swapped transmissions or got rid of the vehiclezzz It's probably a gonner but I figured I would at least try! Thanks!
