2017 Subaru Outback Transmission Failure
Re: 2017 Subaru Outback Transmission Failure
I had a Forester with that 2.0 and the turbo. It would leave the 2.5 in the dust and in the mountains here did 10 times better pulling hills than the 2.5

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: 2017 Subaru Outback Transmission Failure
Your dealer is wacky, they charged double the man hours to replace it. An independent Subaru shop would be cheaper for labor for normal servicing of an out of warranty car...
Put your zip code in here to see what your cost should be.

Just be glad it isn’t a four cylinder or you would be facing head gasket failure. You are lucky they honored the cost, you were using it for severe service but ignoring the fluid change interval. It is really hard on tow vehicles in the Northwest and West with all those killer mountain grades.

Re: 2017 Subaru Outback Transmission Failure
Remember the old slogan? Inexpensive and built to stay that way. That certainly doesn’t apply any more. They dropped that idea in exchange for the Love slogan. A high mileage Subie will be a money pit. The 3rd Gen models are simply horrible for blown turbos and head gaskets.

Re: 2017 Subaru Outback Transmission Failure
I suspect the Forester weighed a lot less. Was there any lag time? I like to keep the rpm’s down. Probably enough a turbo wouldn’t kick in.

No lag time at all Gene and the curb weight of those 2 vehicles is within a couple hundred lbs of each other. Depending on which model you have.

Re: 2017 Subaru Outback Transmission Failure
I bought a new to me teardrop which the Outback can pull easier although the Transit will be the new tow vehicle. The Transit is a twin turbo and I don’t feel the turbo.

Re: 2017 Subaru Outback Transmission Failure
I assume your transit has the 3.5 litre V-6 twin turbo they are using in the pick-ups. Drop that pedal to the floor and you should feel something. I know the Ford 150- towing cap is close to 12K with that engine if thats the one you have.

Re: 2017 Subaru Outback Transmission Failure
I normally drive like I have a bowl of fish in the seat beside me. Yesterday I pulled out in heavy traffic and had the petal to the metal and it got up and roared. Yes on the 3.5L V-6 twin turbo but with the short geared rearend and AWD it’s only rated for 5,000 pounds. With taller tears and duals it can go up to 12K. Still it was factory built and has the towing mode, trailer brake and 7-pin.
I’m averaging 21.2 mpg on the highway and city combination. Of course city driving here isn’t like stop and go every quarter mile. It’s more stop once every 30 miles.

Re: 2017 Subaru Outback Transmission Failure
Well you might want to leave the fish bowl at home once in a while. Ford uses a fuel injection system that is prone to carbon build up in the valve train. You might want to drop her to the floor once in a while.
