To let you know how the issue I described was resolved--the transmission valve body was replaced with a 3rd party re-manufactured one, and changed out by a local mechanic. No issues for several months now. Wife uses it for about 400 miles/week.

I will try a fluid change.

Hi Folks, My wife drives a 2010 with 189,600mi, I'm trying to best help her with a problem. It has for me once, when driving it after she said it had a problem, felt like it was trying to be in two gears at once. This is the "6 speed" CVT with manual shift paddles, so <i>that's</i> not happening. It has codes P0700 and P2764. Indications are the CVT control valve body needs to be replaced. A) Is there any way around this? Or is that the ball game? B) If not, can anyone say for sure if this: http://parts.subaru.com/p/Subaru_2010_Legacy25L-CVT-4WDSedan/BODY-ASSEMBLY-CONTROL-VALVE/49241938/31706AA033.html Is the part entire? I do a lot of work on my personal vehicle*, and am trying to gauge the plausibility of doing this myself vs it tearing up <b>really</b> bad before I can get to it. Thank you for your time. *2003 Trailblazer as of this writing. I'll take a stab at anything short of an engine/tran change at this point. Wondering how much lighter the Legacy tran is. Hmmm...
