gunner Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 My 2001 outback auto trans has started to take about 30sec to go into drive. Does anyone have anyone know how to fix this problem short of changing the trans. I have been told that a fluid and filter change might work. After it goes into drive everything works fine until I turn the engine off and go to start it up then the problem of the 30sec wait starts.

johnceggleston Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 trans-X, do a drain and fill and include a qt of trans-x. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 yes this is a very typical problem with 2001, and Trans-x is the solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarl Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Uhm... Have you checked the transmission fluid level? I know the ~2000 Soobie transmissions have a delayed engagement problem, but you may want to check the level first. Replacing the ATF won't hurt, though. Just make sure you fill the correct hole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
