  1. Hi,

     

     

    I'm wondering how work the 5EAT torque converter :i s it like a manual clutch with a quick but progressive decoupling of each "side" from ON (1st) to OFF ( for changing the gear ) to ON (2nd) or is there a much more longer decoupling of each "side"

     

    I'm aware there is a 100% coupling position like a manual clutch BUT for example I experienced a strange thing :

     

    in 5th at 40m/h I stay at 2000 but if I brake just a little the RPM goes to 1500 and if immediately I release the brake and drive again at 40 I stay at 1500 RPM whithout any change of the gear ??????

     

    Another example : in 5th at 50m/h at 2500 RPM if I release the accelerator 15 sec for example the RMP falls to less than 1000 RPM always in 5th ???

     

     

    Thanks by advance

  2. in DRIVE I'm wondering if the gearbox is in neutral during the "latest downshifts" ( 2>1 and maybe 3>2 ) because I'm lower than 1000 rpms and don't feel there is an engine brake

     

    If I'm wrong do you mean there two levels of shifting one stiff ( SPORT and DRIVE ) and another very smooth ?

    Does the Torque Converter produce these levels and how ? a TC is sealed and have no electric or hydrolic parts inside if I'm not wrong.

  3. Hi guys,

     

    two questions :

     

    #1 when I'm close to a stop for example ( in manual mode ) i have a shake when I downshift ( 3>2 or 2>1 ) even if I'm around 1000 rpms and a little lower rpms too but if I wait the auto downshift ( in manual mode ) I have no shake so is it normal to have a shake in manual mode and I have to use the auto downshift or is it a sign of ATF need to be changed ?

     

    #2 when I'm in SPORT if I turn on CRUISE the SPORT logo disappear but the gear shifts seems different than D ( looks similar to SPORT ) and I can see the number of the gear used like MANUAL; have you ever note this ?

    there is no indication in the owner manual ...

  4. Strategic good advise !

     

    What is the kind of gearbox tech for a 2005 Legacy 3.0 ? CVT; Torque converter with Planetary gears train or maybe a mecanic robotised but I guess it won't need ATF so it must not be a robotised ?

     

    I often read "Prodrive" is it just for the ones with shift palet on wheel or another tech ( what it is ? ) used on all the 5EAT ?

     

    Thanks by advance

  5. ok thanks I had not seen the was RPMs higher.

     

    Another small question : the gear box oil is the same for the all the transmission because I 've just bought mine and want to make a complete service as the former owner was not aware of the last service for everything ... but good price and seems to works good !

     

    There is just the engine oil and gearbox oil to change or a third one ?

  6. Hi guys,

     

    When the car is cold and when I pass to D mode the car move forward "stronger" than when the car have made few kilometers.

    Is it normal or a bad sign of the oil gear box need to be changed.

     

    When the car is cold and for example when I'm at a stop the car seem to be in pain to not move forward ...
