Replying to: p0926 (Sep 04, 2008 3:58 pm) Wheel bearings that I have seen are roller bearings. Wonder where he specifically got the word "ball"? |

Replying to: wcwilliams (Jul 01, 2008 12:07 pm) problem? I read about a control module for the center diff., but I'm not sure what models have it. The module locks and unlocks the center diff. I am now wondering if maybe it is locking when it should not be-eg. front wheels are not spinning. Please let me know. Thank You |

Replying to: shebay (Oct 15, 2008 6:30 pm) What was most disappointing in the whole thing was when I pressed the service manager about what MAKES this happen, he shook his head and said there really wasn't an answer to that, other than it was a design flaw that Subaru (let's hope) has corrected. I asked for the parts they replaced and took them to my local mechanic and asked him if he could see something that would suggest what caused it, and he said nothing looked suspicious. So if these are your symptoms, my guess would be it's the transfer clutch/transmission. hope this helps. |

Replying to: openeyes (Oct 22, 2008 12:17 pm) So my question to anyone who really knows about Subaru AT design: do you know whether this problem has indeed be fixed in later models of Subaru??? Overall, I've been satisfied with my forester, but this has given me major pause about whether I will buy one again.

Replying to: wcwilliams (Oct 22, 2008 8:12 pm) How is it that a Forester properly maintained per their specs at one of their dealerships can need a automatic transmission replaced at 46,000 miles? Is it really just several of us with "bad luck"?

Replying to: openeyes (Oct 24, 2008 7:20 am) The only typical reason I can think of for early transmission failure is prolonged towing. Even if the trailer is within manufacturer specifications, I have seen them fail. I had a friend who moved his Subaru (with a trailer that was about 1500#) from Maryland to Alaska, and his transmission failed a couple months after arriving here. Subaru replaced it, no questions asked. His vehicle was somewhere between 35 and 40 thousand miles, and was about three years old at that time.
