Hi there all, having some serious issues with my subi. I bought an 08 LGT with the 5EAT transmission. Drove it home and immediately started having issues. Wouldn't start, throwing the p0705 code, then it would start, but while driving would throw the code and stop shifting. It's been at the dealer for 3 months. They've changed the valve body, the transmission wiring harness, the TCU, the ECU, the bulkhead wiring harness and now the "body computer" which requires the car being rekeyed, because they're saying the "body computer" claims it's from Australia. They've determined that there's some starter relay that stays energized and won't allow the car to now start. So it went from starting and running sometimes, to now not starting. I'd love to hear from anyone else with this issue and how or if you've been able to resolve.

Hi there, hate to hear you're dealing with this. I also have a similar issue, with no recourse so far. I bought an 08 LGT with the 5EAT transmission. Drove it home and immediately started having issues. Wouldn't start, throwing the p0705 code, then it would start, but while driving would throw the code and stop shifting.

They've determined that there's some starter relay that stays energized and won't allow the car to now start. So it went from starting and running sometimes, to now not starting. What I'm going to do is this: if the "body computer" doesn't fix the issue, have them wire in a toggle switch so i can bypass the problem when needed. Good luck.

Does anyone know how to determine the front or rear gearbox gear ratio?

Hi all, New here and I've got some questions that I'm hoping someone can answer. I've been googling for days and can't seem to get the answers I'm looking for. I recently bought an 08LGT, and it ran perfectly fine until i got it home. Now it's my huge headache. I'm getting a P0705 (transmission range sensor) code and the car is undrivable at this point. Aside from the other issues (exhaust leak and i think the rear gearbox is shot), I'm trying to figure out what i need to fix this code. I've read that this is due to some kind of sensor, but when i try to find this part, it looks like it's something on the outside of the transmission, though I've also read that it's internal to the 5EAT. I can't find anything telling me what kind of transmission is on this car. Is it the 5EAT? If so, it sounds likely that I'll need to replace the valve body in the transmission. The part on subaruparts.com (Automatic Transmission Gear Position Sensor - Subaru (31918AA000) says it's compatible with my car, but says it's a 4 speed auto transmission.... I'm super confused here. Can someone please shed some light for me?
