  1. I recently had a new (to me) transmission put in due to the reverse gear problem. In doing my research on the forum I ended up deciding to go with BG Sychromesh and I loved it. I gave me some of the smoothest shifts I've ever felt.

     

    Jace2010LGT made the recommendation in this thread. There is also some detail on the factory recommendation for oil type, weight, and amount as well.

  2. Best was one night I was picking up a happy meal for my daughter. So I pull up to the window and this 17 year old kids is already hanging out the window drooling. So he says " Wow what a sweet car! Is it fast? Is it turbo? How much boost?" I answer him with thanks and yes, yes and 17psi. The whole time he's mentally molesting my car but it goes silent for about 10 seconds. He then ask " What is it? " I laughed and told him it's just another Subaru. I swear he almost fell out the window as I was leaving.
  3. Don't let the brake, trac and vsc lights bother you. Many oems use this tactic to push you into repairing the car. They found that many people will look past a CEL if the car is running well but its hard to look past a christmas tree on the dash. Drive it in and have them check it over. I work as a master tech for a toyota dealer and 3/4 of our vehicles have this computer logic built in. When the tech goes to pull any code other than the CEL it will give a generic code to check powertrain ecu. If it fires up and drives fairly normal don't worry and take it in. All manfacturers have built in fail safes for their ecus. If the car won't accelerate above 10 miles and hour then you have a big problem and the vehicle has went in to maximum fail safe. If the CEL starts flashing then get to the dealer asap as the codes in the ecu can cause fatal damage to components. Hope this helps. And don't worry if it runs relatively normal just take it in. Probably just a bad sensor. DO NOT DISCONNECT THE BATTERY! Doing this basically ties the technicians hands. All codes and freeze frame data will be lost and will leave the tech with no way to repair your car.
