So i have a 1998 Subaru conversion from gears to an forester version 6 automatic.

I bought the car that way and it ran very well for 3 yrs.

changed the head and block last weekend, used the same transmission -
thought the converter did give a little problem to go in - the head of
the shaft had widened a bit.

anyways .. it's all fixed in, started ,, gone for a test run & the gear is stuck in 3.

it's not changing.  and the power light keeps blinking.

need some help !

double check wiring harnesses?

 

did you dent the transmission pan?

 

 

wonder if the converter was not fully seated - from what I have read, it can be very tricky and if you used the bolts to force the engine/trans together in the last 1/4" or so - you probably cracked the pump. But, I don't think the car would move at all so, less likely.

re-checked all the wiring.

the car can be driven, but not very fast since it has practically no power at all.

 

spoke to a lot of subaru techs and they all say that it sounds like the speed sensor.

will check that out today and let you know.

 

what's your theory though ?  Can it be the output speed sensor ?
