no reverse

[pamike]

a friend of mine knows somone with a subaru that needs some help. he said the car will drive fine but reverse won't work. he said it did work after shifting between park and reverse for a little while. he said the fluid was full.my friend said he thinks it's a early 90's legacy any ideas.

There are not many things that go wrong on an auto tranny that can be easily fixed. Loosing a gear is impending doom. You can try chainging the fluid, a can of tranny fix, but usually no reverse means you need a tranny.

 

The reverse clutch/band is shot.

thats what i told him. but i wanted to make sure their wasn't somthing that goes bad and could be replaced. it's probably far cheaper to find a good used one anyways.

thanks for the help.
