1 Lucky Texan Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 (edited) double check wiring harnesses? did you dent the transmission pan? wonder if the converter was not fully seated - from what I have read, it can be very tricky and if you used the bolts to force the engine/trans together in the last 1/4" or so - you probably cracked the pump. But, I don't think the car would move at all so, less likely. Edited May 23, 2017 by 1 Lucky Texan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nnzz Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 re-checked all the wiring. the car can be driven, but not very fast since it has practically no power at all. spoke to a lot of subaru techs and they all say that it sounds like the speed sensor. will check that out today and let you know. what's your theory though ? Can it be the output speed sensor ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
