What do these hoses go to? Under my intercooler. My pitch mount is a little loose so hopefully tightening that will help with the noise when I put my car into gear and the rattle when I start it. Wasn’t that loose but from shaking by hand I can hear a rattle/click. Look at my starter bolts too. Bottom one is a nut not a bolt. My manual was 2 bolts holding the starter in if I recall. I’m worried about taking it out bd but getting it back in. Somebody was a serious douche that owned this car before me. ill record aider audio in the morning. I’m trying to try take out my starter to inspect it cuz I feel like that’s part of my problem. Here are the pics 1) starter nut (lower non bolt)?? 2)2 hoses under intercooler next to pitch mount to the right

And if this belongs another part of the forums then please move it. I’m sorry if so I’m at work on break and wanted to post ASAP and not sure where my problems are coming from. Tranny, suspension, engine, or where

what is this hose supposed to be connected to? Also my car is having a problem when I do a cold start. It rattles or clicks really loud for like 2 seconds and is getting worse. Also when it’s not warmed up and I hit a bump in the road it makes a rub sound identical to a lowered cars tires rubbing in the fenders. I am lowered but it isn’t that as it happens only when car isn’t fully warm. Also when I let off the gas it makes a quick rattle sound then goes away. I feel like my car is going to die and day and I have to work and get to school or I will be homeless and not pass my classes. Any ideas greatly appreciated. does my LCA bushing look worn out too from the pic. But also does that hose need to be connected to something? Edit- I looked at the pic and yeah my bushings are worn out. More that I can’t afford to fix. FML. First time I’ve been broke a while. I had a 06 LGT with over 50k into it and cops took it a year ago… with everything in penned now I have another 06 LGT that has problems and this sucks…

So to turn off the CEL I have to reset the TCU? It’s. It’s not something that just fixing will turn off on it’s own? I know some parts just fixing the problem will turn the light off. It’s driving so much better. And the OCV also fixed the rough idle and acceleration issues. The car drives perfectly but I still have codes which I have yet to scan again. I’m going to do that when I leave this AA meeting. I’m super low on money for a couple months and I’m enrolled at AZ automotive institute so they can reset the TCM for free I’m sure. All labor is free there, only have to pay for parts. Pretty good deal. I start today so I’m going to speak to one of the automotive instructors prob today or tomorrow. I’m enrolled in a welding program so it won’t be one of my instructors. But I plan on having them do a LOT of work. Free motor/tranny swap labor will be nice. https://vehiclefreak.com/how-to-reset-a-subaru-transmission-control-module/ im thinking this link above is for an older Subaru, but I would think there is a similar procedure for 4th gen LGT. I installed a used TCM since it didn’t need to be reset or programmed. But to get the code off I’ll ask the school if they can do that for me. They should have everything for basically all cars to be repaired being as it’s a very reputable school in Phoenix. so I had this really bad rattle coming from the “engine” and I thought the OCV would fix it. It made it a lot better due to smoother idle, but not completely better. Today I realized that the battery is held on by the down straps. So I pushed one of the hooks and voila, it went away. So the car drives great now and no more rattle. It was so loud and i thought my car would crap out on me any day. Like it was so bad. When I was at idle it would “click” so loud and was getting worse and worse. So I tightened the strap and it’s gone. I couldn’t figure it out for the life of me but finally fixed that. The car really drives very nice right now. There was a broken vacuum line above the OCV that connects to the IM and goes over to some valve above and slightly left of the fuse box. So I fixed that today. I think that was part of my idle problem and prob my accel prob too. ok enough ranting and the gist of what I said: TCM needs to be reset via A laptop with the software and proper cable in the above posts. Or let my school do it. Code won’t turn off on its own by fixing the problem with a USED TCM. I hope that works cuz like I said car drives/shifts perfectly now but codes still there Thank you for all your help. I appreciate it very much! edit- my SurePost package came a couple days earlier then expected! Still took a while like 5/6 days. But yeah the transfer to USPS is a pain and waste of time. Luckily they delivered on a Sunday and came 2 days early!

Thank you! I was wondering if polarity mattered when testing the valve. So, I changed out the TCM today. Took a whole 5 minutes. I drove the car and no more erratic shifting. Shifts great, no more slipping. Nothing at all. The first test drive after swapping it still said er hc. Then I turned the car off and back on and it went away. Maybe it was still stored in the ECU or something and needed the extra off/on. I need to get the codes checked and I’m hoping just 0021 is the only one remaining. OCV will be here on Tuesday. Freakin 8 days to get here from the time shipped. That’s ridiculous. UPS surepost is CRAP and can suck it! I live in Phoenix. Usually 2-3 days to get here from anywhere in the US. I’ll look up the procedure for checking codes from my car later or I’ll just go to autozone. I’m almost positive changing the TCM cleared a few codes though. Night and day difference, so I’m sure my TCM was bad. It downshifts when I give it gas now, up shifts properly. Needle doesn’t looking like it’s slipping. Definitely made a HUGE difference.

Yeah, for the 06 GT 5EAT it is 31711AK390. I didn’t figure they’d be interchangeable bc every year and N/A vs Turbo are all different part #s. I was able to find the right one luckily. Just doing a Google search wasn’t coming up with anything but the link above got me to one. I didn’t figure they’d be interchangeable. Hopefully that’s my problem. The shifting is so erratic, it seems that it’s a good place to start with those codes. Other people were saying change the fluid may fix it but AAMCO said there was nothing wrong with it. So we’ll see. It will be here in a few days. If anybody has any other ideas on what could be causing that, please lmk. I also have a p0021. A previous owner had already removed the banjo bolt screen on the driver side. It wasn’t jammed in the OCV as I removed that to check. I’m guessing I just need to change the OCV out.

I found one on that website though!!! Thank you so much!!!!

Wrong part number. That’s the N/A. I drive a GT. Thank you though! I’m going to start calling all the pick a parts around to see if I can find one. Phoenix is a huge city so hopefully I’ll get lucky. If anybody has access to a totaled 06 GT automatic that can pull one I’d appreciate it! I’ll try to locate one local. Legacy gts are really really rare in Phoenix though. Like once a year if that I see another one on the road. Not like the mountain city’s where every other cars a Subaru

Car is an 06 LGT 5EAT Like the title says, are TCMs interchangeable? Like can I use a used one from a 07 or 05 cuz I cannot find one anywhere for my yea. I’m throwing a p0600. 0700 & 1718 with er hc & Flashing cruise. Car shifts very erratically but less so in sport mode with manual shifting. When in drive it will shift up into 5th gear when I’m at 1/2 throttle or more before I even hit 35 mph and other times will go to redline before shifting at same throttle position. Basically shifting is inconsistent as hell. Either too soon or too late. Totally erratic. Sometimes the car just lags 1st gear too. If I can find a used one to try that it would be great but there are NONE for my year. Would another year work? They are different part numbers for each year so I wouldn’t think so. New they run like 600 IF I can even find one since Subaru discontinued the part. Plus programming will run like 2-400. I won’t have that much money til January when it won’t matter since I’ll be dropping like 20,000 into the car. But until then I have to get to school which is about to start and I’m worried the car will crap out on me. It just shifts so bad. AAMCO said the fluid is fine in it, too. Any other opinions on what it may be would be great!? But will I be able to use a used TCM from an 05 or 07? Since they are way cheaper and also won’t need to be programmed? If i should try something else to fix it let me know as well! Please help!! Thank you!

Any idea if different years are interchangeable? Every year is a different part number so I’m thinking not even though the transmissions are probably the same I’m guessing? Or do they do slight changes to the transmission for the same generations?

Throwing a p0600, 0700, 1718 code also says er hc in the odometer. Shifting is off, like really random. It will shift way too early, way late, just really erratic. pretty rough too. It’s not a part many people have to replace, it just seems like that’s where my research is pointing too. For the price of a used one it seems like a good place to start. AAMCO said my fluid seemed normal, it wasn’t that bad. With the 0700 and 1718 codes it has to do with the tcm from what I’ve gathered. Do you have any other ideas as to what could be causing all that. And there isn’t anything used for an 06 anywhere on eBay or on Google that I can find. There’s barely even new ones. I have 168,000 miles on my car, btw. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated?? Thank you!

I really need a used Transmission Control Module for a 2006 LGT 5 speed automatic. I am starting school and can’t afford a new one for 600+ programming. Sadly, I won’t have that much extra money til January. I start school in a couple weeks. I need my car reliable. I’m hoping somebody has one or God forbid they crashed an 06 automatic, have access to the car and can pull it. It would be a huge help. Please lmk. I’d really appreciate it and you’d be helping to save my future so I can get to school. Thank you! Chris

Do you have the TCM possibly? I need one from an 06 5EAT but cannot find one anywhere. I need a used one so I don’t have to pay 1000 bucks for the part and programming. Please lmk if you do or have access to the car to pull it out. Thank you! Or if anybody has one for sale lmk.
