ok,
so car drives fine last night and this morning. Then I go to lunch and put it in reverse and get nothing, engine revs but I go no where, the whole time making this really horrible grinding noise. when I finally get it to move it sounds horrible. does the same thing in 1st and 2nd but once moving and in higher gears its ok for the most part minus a small whine. SO do I get the joy of replacing my tranny now?
thanks,
Nate
aghhhh!!! I think my tranny just died! help!

Unfortunately......but yeah it sounds like it......if you didn't hear grinding I would've said it might be ok.....but if you hear grinding......it's probably toast.

well that is just peachy. what a week, get layed off work then this arg!!
ok, so here is a question,
if I am gonna replace the tranny I am just gonna swap to a 5 speed cause I dis like auto's anyway . will a forester tranny work? ( I would assume its the same as any other 2.5 tranny ) and I do realise I will need a corrisponding rear diff, but do we know what ratio the forester is?
thanks

I am in sacramento,
1200 for another auto? eek!
I think I will stick with the 5 speed cause I dont see how it could cost more than that. it wont be the first tranny changeover I have done. what a pain. I ask cause I found a forester tranny in truckee for 200.00 thats good. I think the guy is parting out the car so I figured I may be able to get everything I need to do the swap from him for 6-800 . so , do we know if the forester and impreza tranny is the same?
thanks
Nate
ps-
anyone know of any tech jobs out there? hehe

Nate,
Check out this place for parts: http://www.4subarusuzukikiaparts.com/
I talked to them when my tranny went out, and they seemed very familiar with the 5MT swap and know what's needed. You're in luck, they're located pretty close to you, I think.
You might want to try putting it in '3' and pressing the manual button before getting going. I'm not sure if the car will agree to starting in third gear, but if it does, it might make it more driveable until you can get it fixed. This trick definitely works in 1 or 2 (though I realize you don't want to be using those gears based on what you described) - the car will start in the gear you've selected (IF the manual button is engaged).

The car will only start in 2nd gear with the manual button depressed. It is a very primitive form of traction control that keeps the tranny from going into 1st gear, which limits the amount of torque going to the wheels which reduces wheel spin. This button only does this when the gear selector is in 3 or 2.whitemr2 wrote: You might want to try putting it in '3' and pressing the manual button before getting going.

It is also said that is adjusts or "tweaks" the AWD maps to be more agressive.
