It shifts rough going from 1st to 2nd til it warms up, unless it's above 32 degs. I told my mechanic and he said just go easy when you take off, but it slams into 2nd til its warm. A real pain in my ass and wallet if it does not get any better !!
Bought my car it drove fine. Got it out and started driving in the cold (around freezing, as it was february). Transmission began slipping quite a bit and the transmission SLAMMED into 4th gear. I thought i hit a pot hole the first time. It happened again..and again..and again, every time i started the car i had to wait for it to warm up before shifting it into 4th gear (automatic). Had the fluid drained and replaced and the filter replaced, fixed the slipping quite a bit. Still thuds and slams into 4th gear even at 26 degrees C. This is my 3rd subaru and ive never had this problem. Thinking about buying a chev now.... thanks subaru for letting me down on this car.
Talked to my mechanic who knows a guy with another forester like mine, his does the same thing.
