July 20, 20178 yr 1992 legacy fwd automatic. I put a trans in it over the weekend and it worked fine. I parked it yesterday and this morning. it started whining and now the car will move for a few seconds then lose all gears. full of fluid and no burnt smell. unplugged the dropping resistor and started it and the whining was worse. any ideas?

July 20, 20178 yr did you make sure to fully and properly seat the torque converter? My guess is no, and that the drive tube snout is tearing up the pump drive.
July 20, 20178 yr Just throwing this out there but I have a low mileage FWD 4EAt saved from a 94 in case you may need another.
July 20, 20178 yr Author yes I made sure the torque converter was seated. the trans worked flawless till I parked it yesterday. Edited July 20, 20178 yr by mr_strick

July 21, 20178 yr 1. check fluid level 2. make sure the flexplate is still spinning? 3. Early legacy's had a recall that I think involved too much debris clogging up the lines. Subaru offered an inline filter kit I think was their solution to that issue. I would make sure you're getting adequate fluid flow through those ATF lines. just in case how much?You're in solid hands if you end up needing that trans, John is the man. You could even partly blame him for me knowing how to do anything more than change my oil since I met him like 20 years ago. I'm daily driving one of his previous vehicles as of last fall ironically!

July 21, 20178 yr Author fluid level is fine. the trans will hold gear while it is whining but once the whining stops the trans lets go. btw northern or southern ky? Edited July 21, 20178 yr by mr_strick

July 25, 20178 yr Author I live in Elkton, KY, not Elkton, TN. Let me know when you expect to be here. John does it still have the oil lines and stub shafts? will be a couple of weeks before I can get up there.
