2012 CVT Transmission Issues/Questions

Featured Replies

 I have a few Subarus but recently picked up 2012 outback, with a Transmission that acts like it never shifts from park?  I do believe it is detecting something 

because there is a very subtle change in the rpms but absolutely doesn't flinch.  I was hoping maybe you all had some ideas on whether it is a solenoid or if it is just a POS Subaru low mileage 114k cvt transmission failure?

I have a 2012 Legacy transmission but understand its a different generational transmission and is shorter and lighter than the Outback T..  We have a real good drive shaft  Shop here in Binghamton, Cook Bros.  who could fab a longer drive shaft, but have no idea if the electronics are the same?

Also wonder if it is or could be solenoid failure, valve body failure, could I use the legacy parts?

Any help or reference would be wonderful.
