naru Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I pulled the vaccum on my 87 with a 3speed auto and it dosent leak, can it still be bad. Maybe,but,if it holds vacuum and moves it is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gl-boost Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 The car moves and drives, I was thinking it holds vaccum when stressed by giving the car more gas. When cold the tranny seems to slip, it slowly creeps the car and then will just grab and go. Also untill warm the tranny is hard to shift unless I mess with the gas. I don't think the tranny is bad though, because The fluid is not burning up, I changed it but on my last car when tranny went bad, and I cahnged the fluid it was burnt and black agin within a mile. The fluid in the subaru is nice and pink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Your description is not indicitive of a bad modulator. Sounds like another 3AT taking a crap.

Gl-boost Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 hmm, well thats what I did'nt want to hear but I kinda figured that anyway. well I don't know what I want to do yet, I will ride it out as long as possible and just keep changeing the fluid and hopefully that helps to keep it going. Then if I find a pats car with a five speed I might decide to do a swap. This sounds like fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gl-boost Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 The only thing that may stop me is the frame in the rear is starting to rust, I would really want to fix this because I dont think I could find another turbo Gl-10 4WD sedan in where I live. I don't really care if the frame is going to be repared I don't want to get rid of this car. I just hope its not to bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
