to start binding... Im so pissed at this, Im seeing red. Turns out 1996 still have the multiple pieces instead of the one replaceable unit the later ones have.. 800 labor to take R&R not including parts. Now why the heck does it take 15 minutes to start binding when it works just fine prior to that? Are you SURE??? I can't change the transmission gear oil and make it go away? Otherwise the 5 spd manual works just fine.

Well, I wouldn't blame Subaru for either the transmission or the dip************ of a service writer you came into contact with... Here's my suggestion for a better approach.. 1) What is the service record for your transmission? 2) Low on fluid? 3) old fluid? 4) Ever CHANGE the fluid??? In my humble opinion and from what I have seen, Subaru Automatics are damn near bulletproof IF taken care of with regular fluid changes and filter changes 5) Ask the guy to explain why he feels Subaru owners are feeling postal. Maybe there are good reasons for his feeling like that. Last time I checked, Subaru owners were just like every other human on this earth..

I was asking about the transmission because I was unsure if the first replier was aware I had a manual as his/her post did not specify auto or manual. Sure hope this is a simple fix.. Only seems to do it when I am turning right and going either backwards or forwards. Doesn't do it all the time and doesn't do it when I am going straight

When I back the Outback in reverse, it has the distinct sensation of slowing/binding toward the right rear area.. Only when backing up and turning. It feels just like when you back a regular 4wd on dry pavement.. The car has 134K miles on it 5 speed manual trans 2.2L engine I have a warranty on this car so I would like to get this figured out asap Thanks! or ??

I believe that the interval depends on the shape of the cogs on the belt itself. Earlier belts were square ribbed, later were rounded. Of course you would need the corresponding cogs for each The rounded belts allowed for less traumatic lift off the cog as it spun mimimizing breaking of the ribs. They might have also improved the rubber they were made of as well. People got a bit pissed at always having to change the timing belt every 60K:dead: On a 2.5 its a big deal as its an intereferance motor.. The 2.2L in my outback is not:banana: Not sure about the 2.5L Turbo in my BAJA though..
