AT question/problems?

[Dan Chirica]

I have an '99 legacy outback w/ 94 Kmiles w/ automatic transmission.
Recently, after I had the fluid changed at the dealer I noticed the car
is slipping back when I stop at traffic light (on an incline). It does
that both in drive and in reverse. I'm pretty sure it did not do that
before.

How bad is that? I hope I'm not looking at a new trany :-(

Thanks,
Dan

I hope the dealer used Dexron 2 or 3 and the fluid level is full. Did a
Subaru dealer do the work or some other?? eddie

The dealer did the work. As about the level it seams full to me. Though,
I could never get a real measurement. Every time I pull the deep stick
out the fluid is all over it, regardless of how long I wait for it to
settle (with the deep stick out) before taking another measurement.

Thanks for your answer.
Dan.

The fluid level in an automatic is checked with the engine running as per
the owners manual. eddie
