Hi Andy - thanks, just over 100k (108 from memory). i'll investigate that.

Hi, i'm new here. I have an 04 subaru H6 3 litre with a transmission problem. i understand that this model is the first of the 5 Speed tiptronics. The car changes very "roughly' when it downshifts to second or third gear, it thumps into gear. It never has a problem changing up or down, to any other gear. The auto is fine on a trip when its not changing to a low gear. Also, the cruise control only works intermittertly (i.e. sometimes it works, others not). It is definately getting worse. I do use the car for towing now and again and yes it has towed heavy loads occasionally. My Auto trans guy thinks its the valve body needs replacing and has quoted me about $1,700 incl Do you agree, could it be something else? Is that about the going rate?
