Just purchased a 99 Outback Wagon with 103k for thousands under
bluebook. Owner knew it has a few problems and was giving me a good
deal as he didn't really want to deal with fixing it.
I identified a plugged up radiator that was causing an overheating
problem. Initially thought this was a head gasket but a hydrocarbon
test of radiator fluid proved this wasn't the case.
Currently I am seeing a 1 - 5 second delay in shifting from Reverse to
Drive. I have read that a 2 second delay is normal due to AWD and
front and rear diffs.
Another thing I have noticed is a bubbling up of what looks like clear
coat on the hood scoop. This clear coat stuff has started to flake
off. It is just on the scoop and not on the hood anywhere. Thoughts
I might just let it all flake off and get it touched up...
Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions/comments on the R to D
shifting?
