it finally happened
#62
i took my car into the dealershiit for a simple gas line recall. i think they had the oil change guy working on it or something, who knows. but anyways once i got my car back it wasnt right, would misfire under load at about 5,000 RPMs. brought it back into a different dealer because i was so furious about how they messed it up. after i brought it back into a different subaru dealer they had my car for 2 and 1/2 weeks and figured out the problem on the last day, the guy at the other dealer broke a wire to the crank sensor.
so once i go pick back up my car everything is good, runnin strong with no problems, but later that day the check engine light comes on, i have a small evap leak. so i just dropped it back off tonight so they can find out where the evap leak is.
biggest hastle and pain in the ***!! and not to mention having to go without my car for first 2 and 1/2 weeks and now who knows how long!

I found it much easier to shift into first and reverse under all temperatures after switching to redline lightweight shockproof fluid. I can even down shift into 1st most of the time now where as it used to be entirely impossible.
No guarantees but for $30 worth of fluids and an hour of work it's worth a shot, huh?
Edit: I would wait until after the break-in period before switching fluids.

Anybody know why this is the case? I thought it was really weird the first 1000 miles, but figured it was the break-in period. With over 6xxx miles now, it still occurs. It doesn't seem natural for a $30k car.
