Return to dealer: round 2?

[SubMorph]

Hey All!

 

Joined the Sub Squad about 3 months ago with an 08 legacy GT import.

 

After 2 months, I had a horrible jolt driving home one day.. had repairs done under warranty etc. And was advised there was suspension problems and broken solenoids in my trans.

 

I've now had two solenoids replaced along with a trans fluid replacement.

 

Fast forward a week or two, and I'm still finding some smells while driving and some sticky gear changes - no matter what driving mode, or if I'm in auto/tiptronic.

 

Any ideas on what might be going on? Heat gauge is always the same, about s notch under the midway mark - was this way before issues started popping up.

 

Forgot to add, milage on car so far is 26400km.

 

Thanks in advance for any thoughts or ideas and recommendations.

 

Edit: have gone to the folks who helped me with the transmission fix, let them take it for a few tests. Guy advised that the gearbox is shifting as it should, but he'd like to do a flash of the computer and retain it under warranty to retrain the car back to new status. Should be done by next week Friday which is always a plus.

 

Thanks again for your help! Feeling welcomed to the community Haha.

I'd be going back there until it's sorted or money back

Something in the trans will still be stuffed, don't spend too much time over-thinking it, take it back and insist it gets fixed properly.

 

The gauge on the dash won't tell you if the trans is getting too hot but the smell could just be that they spilled some fluid when refilling the trans and that is now burning off somewhere.

Smell could also be a leaky rocker cover gasket. It's at the age that they start leaking. But more likely some substance got on the downpipe/exhaust when they were working on the trans and is burning off. It can take a little while.

Thanks for everyone's ideas and help so far, will be visiting the folks who fixed my transmission so they can test drive and see if theres something going off. Will report back what findings are and if fixes are incoming etc.

 

Cheers!
