fahr_side Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 If it makes you feel any better I have a customer with a '12 that does the same thing. Manual mode, WOT, shifts from 3rd into 4th without input from the paddles. Most annoying. Obligatory '[URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/2008-gh8-238668.html?t=238668"]build thread[/URL]' Increased capacity to 2.7 liters, still turbo, but no longer need spark plugs.

gimpydingo Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 At least this is not happening all the time, but still annoying. Time to keep a eye for for a Spec B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimpydingo Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Any other suggestions on what it could be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_ster Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Well unless the switch or connector for the shifter for the manual / automode is faulty. Get your self a vagcom cable and start doing some data logging could even be the clock spring in the sheeting wheel that is giving it a false shift signal. Now that's thinking out of the boxer! fyi all 05 + legacy's have built in code reader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gimpydingo Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 Good thing is Subaru didn't charge for the time in diagnosing the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimpydingo Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 Looks like I need the Tactrix since I have an 07, vag-com only 05/06? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimberDHexMods Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Saw your other posts elsewhere, remember you will be very grateful to yourself later if you resolve this issue first before doing ANY modifications. Some people do it in the reverse order, and it's usually an unhappy ending.

gimpydingo Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 Yeah, I'm just gathering info for a build. I plan on logging this, seeing if I can find the issue, then take it from there. No mods until this is researched more. So tactrix it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madhatter7750 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 gimpydingo, I am having the exact same problem as you. Automatic mode works fine, but manual mode shifts from 2nd to 3rd at about 4k. Mine is not intermittent though, it does it every time I WOT in manual mode. Wondering if you had any follow up on this problem. I doubt my dealer will have anything meaningful to contribute, but will give it a shot on my next service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimpydingo Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 NADA! My does it pretty much always under WOT, really easy to get it to do it in S#. Shoot it even does it from 3rd to 4th, though not as frequent. Dealer was worthless. I need to do a vac leak test, if that clears I plan on getting a stage 1 tune, to help with the bit of overboost I am seeing, about .5 - 2 psi around 4k rpms, and only stays that high for a moment. Have you run any logs on your LGT? Just curious if you have an overboosting issues or anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madhatter7750 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I have a 3.6R so over boosting is not my problem and the car only has 3900mi on it. Have you tested your 3.6R to see if it does the same thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimpydingo Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Ohhh missed seeing you have a 3.6R. No overboost issue in that? My 3.6R will auto shift once it hits the red line. It's normal, doesn't have the same issue as my 07 LGT. Also no real hunting issues with gears in my 3.6. I have noticed it's hesitating a bit when going from a stop, need to ease into the throttle a bit otherwise there is a slight lag. Same thing with the Ferrari I drove this past weekend, guy told me not to mash the gas or it will lag, yep does. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madhatter7750 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I wrote to Subaru, they called the dealership and want me to bring the car in. First I have to get a new bumper and fog light housing. I hit a raccoon at 70mph Wednesday morning and ripped the bumper. The raccoon was rather large. Guessing it will be about 2 weeks before I can get to the dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimpydingo Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 That sucks. Still better than a deer. Let me know what they say. My dealership was useless, telling me that's how it is, and they couldn't replicate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoelH. Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 So, what ever was resolved on this issue? I have the exact same prob. now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbeard Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 same issue i have, My 07 shifts super early if I full throttle sometimes as well even in manual mode. when I roll on the throttle its fine, but wot it will start going threw the revs fine then a sudden down shit, then an upshift on its own. scares the pissout of me.

gimpydingo Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 No resolution. Seems when I got my vac leaks fixed it seemed to lessen the issue, which of course I have another leak I need to find. Could be in my head. Does it in auto and manual modes. Usually 2 - 3, which pops me into 4th at a lower than ideal RPM range. Jesus 2013 post!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
