Thanks yoyogt!

Yeah man, anytime

Hey yoyogt, where were you able to source the turbine 2 speed sensor?

Got it from eBay, the wires are a little smaller but it works so far. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Subaru-5EAT-VSS-Sensor-1-Hole-Bracket-To-Case-13-Harness-3-Pin-Conn-131958/303147558334?hash=item469500a5be:g:EBUAAOSwJi1c0v4K

Just an update, the problem came back after 1 year doing the flush. I bought turbine 2 speed sensor and had the mechanic take out the trouble one and soldered in the new one, so far so good, no hard shifts or vehicle going into limp mode. Will update after I have driven it for some more time

I used the amsoil hp, same oil that the dealer supplies for it, I was skeptical about the valvoline because I believe I read somewhere on the forum that it causes issues in the 5EAT trans..so maybe next oil change I will give it a go.

I did the flush but it came back couple days after. We ended up changing the filter and topped up after, checked the valvebody to see if there were any loose wires but couldn't visibly find any. The filter change resulted in only one slight bump , but it has been ok now for 2 months since the filter change. It will downshift harsh at times but no bump. The error code will be speed sensor 2 which is located within the valvebody and is hardwired in the system. So new valvebody will be needed if that doesn't work. Once again thank you all for the advice..

Replacing the valve body could do it, but I think I would try a few drain and fills with fresh fluid, maybe amsoil synthetic. Then maybe datalogging the tcu if that is possible I imagine there has to be fluid pressure and temperature data somewhere in the TCU.

 

On a side note, does your 2011 have eyesight? I just noticed the picture in the OP has what looks like the dual cameras in the windscreen.

 

Ok thanks, will try the draining of the transmission fluids and hope that works for now and will have to check out the datalogging, hope someone apart from the dealer here knows how to do that.

 

Yes mine is a 2012 and it has the very same eyesight camera system as the one in the picture..

Really appreciate the suggestions.

Similar to what happened in my Altima SER - Valve body solenoid was messed up... ended up replacing transmission.... hope its not that extreme.. good luck!

Really hope not, i would be so disappointed with Subaru if that is the case. Thanks for suggesting the possible problem

Mine does this every so often, I ended up taking the throttle body off and cleaning it.

I also used BTSSM and my Tactrix 2.0 cable to reset the ECU and allowed it to idle for 10-15 minutes to re-learn the idle and it seems to have gotten better.

 

The only issue I still have is harsh downshifts to first under deceleration.

 

Ok, thanks for that update. So basically the transmission flush might not work? and I don't have the adapter nor the software to play around with the tuning, so what other options can I explore ?

 

My gt still does it from time to time and it is literally driving me crazy, always have a feeling that something is about to happen, that's not a nice feeling at all.

Thanks guys for the information provided thus far, I planned on changing the front Trans oil and rear diff oil over this weekend. Start my trouble shooting there and see if an these oil change makes a difference.
