Thanks!

There is a TSB on the CVT for possible leaks up to 100k miles.. So I recommend ALL of you check it closely because Unfortunately I had my transmission replaced at 94k miles because it was a area where Subaru Techs weren't allowed to repair it..

 

Now at 137,000 only 43k miles later I have another leak and it's out of Warranty.. So get ready to grab your seats.. I asked my dealership how much was Labor for Removal and Install to diagnose the problem they told me $1,150.00.. Here it comes if it's determined that the same area is leaking and a New Transmission is needed that will cost $9,000 and thats a refurbished Transmission... I'm so frustrated right now and waiting on a reply from SOA because I feel transmission shouldn't fail again at 43k Miles..

 

I'll keep u guys posted..

Oh Damn!!!

Looking at this car tomorrow. Has 132K miles but for $9K or less, cant complain.

What should I keep an eye out for? I saw it over yesterday and interior and exterior was in great shape and taken care of. I'm going to ask to see if they can put it on a lift so I can check trans leaks and corrosion.

 

 

This makes me afraid since I might be picking up a 2015 Limited that has 132K miles so its out of the TSB range now.

Might be coming over to the Legacy dark side!

 

This time with a used 2016 (sold in 2015) 2.5 Limited with only 132K miles (went on a road trip from Connecticut to Vegas and back before moving down here.

 

Looking forward to the MPG since i have an almost a 93 mile commute.

 

Thought about a 09 OBXT or LegGT but I really want the MPG at this point plus I can make it fun with a couple of upgrades.

Soooo, tempting!

Miss my GRP wagon.

Might be in the market for an OB XT

Too bad I don't live there anymore. I used to try and get some Legacy peeps together and do Autocrosses or track days.

 

 

 

Yeah, we never did have that match!

Lots of dyno tests have shown 11+WHP to the ground even without a tune with just axle backs!!!

 

Get Prodrives or Cobb!!!

I'm on the same boat Nick!

If anyone in Orlando wants a semi equal length header up-pipe (4-2-1 design) selling my old one for $175 firm

I needed the space for the kids and found the 09 EX sedan w/NAV with only 13K miles a month ago an traded mine for that certified pre owned one.

 

When I back to Suby, might go for a Fozzy or Outback as I like the MPG's or even a BRZ

Yep and I miss her but my the MPG I'm getting now is priceless with the 70+ mile daily drive to/from work.

 

I still have the roof rack and a few other parts if picked up bu a local.

Wonder if the wagons built in Japan have this issue!

no

Nope! Don't think SCCA has a class for the Smart.

Sold the wagon so if anyone is looking for parts:

I have a switch in the classifieds if anyone needs one.

Collective immobilizer?!

Wonder if plastidipping the pillars would be worth it though the front ones are cloth covered which would suck.

Mirror housings are different so if you don't have an 05-07, don't get it them, get the style that is like yours.

I would do what Mike did. I would take all issus related to this issue to the dealer so all this gets documented and probably SOA will release a service bulletin or recall as it will affect mostly all of the wagon & outbacks out there. If the dealer charged you and a recall is issued, you get refunded the money for those repairs done at the desler.

I'm tempted to do a black headliner and pillars like the JDM model whose name escapes me right now.

There is?!

No idea what the top hats and hardware is worth, $30-$40?
