mr_strick Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) 1992 legacy fwd automatic. I put a trans in it over the weekend and it worked fine. I parked it yesterday and this morning. it started whining and now the car will move for a few seconds then lose all gears. full of fluid and no burnt smell. unplugged the dropping resistor and started it and the whining was worse. any ideas?

Gloyale Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 did you make sure to fully and properly seat the torque converter? My guess is no, and that the drive tube snout is tearing up the pump drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idosubaru Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) 1. check fluid level 2. make sure the flexplate is still spinning? 3. Early legacy's had a recall that I think involved too much debris clogging up the lines. Subaru offered an inline filter kit I think was their solution to that issue. I would make sure you're getting adequate fluid flow through those ATF lines.

You could even partly blame him for me knowing how to do anything more than change my oil since I met him like 20 years ago. I'm daily driving one of his previous vehicles as of last fall ironically!

mr_strick Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) fluid level is fine. the trans will hold gear while it is whining but once the whining stops the trans lets go. btw northern or southern ky?
