Hello, new to Subaru's, tranny issue
I bought a 1993 Impreza for a daily driver, and I've noticed that the tranny won't shift into its final gear (overdrive?) until I'm like 8 miles down the freeway.
What could cause this and how do I fix it? Thanks. |

is check engine light on? have you checked the fluid with car level and running in park. also is fluid a nice red or pink? if its brown yellow or dark it needs changing

Re: Hello, new to Subaru's, tranny issue
might have to take it to a tranny rebuild shop and have them check it out. most will test drive for free. but its programmed not to shift into od and torque converter lockup till fluid reaches a certain temperature, its possible your fluid temp sensor has failed

Re: Hello, new to Subaru's, tranny issue
Any idea where the temp sensor might be on this car?

Re: Hello, new to Subaru's, tranny issue
I would do drain/refill for starters and see what happens.
Good luck, Sam
