drain and refill the trans fluid with new, include a qt. of trans-x stop leak. search for it here and read. folks have had good luck with it on 99 auto trans. there is a seal that tends to leak, the trans-x helps.

 

one of the threads is current.

Read the post "Fixed Trany delayed forward engagement." It is listed back a page or two on this forum at this time. That post specifically address the problem on 99 and 00 Legacys with auto trans. The Trans-X added to my car a year ago fixed the trany problem.

 

Vibration under load may also indicate that you need to tune up your car with new spark plugs and plug wires.
