if it shoots to rev limiter then your 5th gear is slipping.

 

try to only go to 5th gear when you're in high speeds (70mph+) as to not over load the transmission. but, to be honest, you either have to rebuild 5th or get a new trans

 

Darn it. I was hopping I was missing something else but I know its going to need to be done.

 

Thanks for the reply

^ yea a lot of people dont understand how the torque converter works.

 

Come to complete stop. And go full throttle in auto mode does it go ?

 

Then Use manual mode and go full throttle in each gear.

 

If a gear is slipping it will shoot to revlimiter.

 

Usually the gear chanhes get mushy before full on slipping

 

At a complete stop it goes through all gears but once it once it hits into 5th gear it will get past 3000 Rpms then it will surge all the way to the limiter. It does the same in full auto and manual mode.

Yes completely warmed up.

 

So on the way home I noticed that the only gear I have this issue in is 5th gear. It only slips when I give it some power then the Rpms shoot up and the car does not pick up speed. It's like the 5th gear in the auto transmission is slipping on heavy load....?

is the car warmed up completely?

 

Yes completely warmed up.

Too little info provided, but strictly going by what you wrote, it sounds like the clutches are fried. Your only recourse is a transmission swap, or a rebuild but comparative in price it may not be cost effective, but does provide you with an opportunity to have brand new clutches in there.

 

This car is an auto transmission. I will try to get more in depth. When driving this morning I was about to go up a hill, so I gave the car more gas.... when the boost was starting to pick up, the speed was not really picking up much at all, "kind of like it was a manual transmission and the clutch was slipping". This is the odd part, if i move it over to sport mode where you can shift from the steering wheel, it shifts normal. Any thoughts off of that???

I'm new with the 4th gen turbo legacy and in need off help. I've been. Having small issues and my new one is the transmission slipping through the gears when the car is building boost. Seems like when the turbo is building power the transmission does not know what to do so it acts like it's in nutral and the Rpms start to rise high????? Any thoughts?
