Hey guys, Just wondering what my car is trying to tell me. Everytime I turn off my car (push start) after a medium-ish journey, a "ding" sound along with a message in Japanese shows on my dash. Does anyone know what this means? I have a 2007 Subaru Legacy B4. Cheers Guys, Rome

This is the thing, when the car has warmed up nicely.. the gears shift smooth as silk. For all gears, up shifts and down shifts. When the car is cold, I get symptoms of a failing valve body. Delayed shifts. Violent violent shifts (Wish I could emphasize this even further haha) but when my mum was in the car when it happened, it scared the sht out of her lol. The car is not in driveable condition while it is cold.

No, I didn't get the chance to. And I'm under warranty and the dealership is paying for my excess so I haven't spent a single cent. Still frustrating AF tho..

Sadly, I am mistaken.. Violent harsh shifting occurred again over the weekend. It is clear that this sensor cannot be replaced by it self, the valve body MUST be replaced. I am now dealing with Transmission Solutions, who are now in the process of ordering a genuine valve body from Japan.

Fixed. Apparently the the Turbine Converter Speed Sensor 2 that was previously replaced was faulty. Live data showed no feedback during cold start up. It is known that this sensor is attached to the valve body so the valve body will also need replacing if this sensor needs replacing. So I guess Auto Trans in Newton Rd Auckland can replace this sensor for a few hundred dollars rather than spending at least $2000 for a new valve body. It is kind of a short cut job but hey, if it works, it works.

Are you getting slight thumps where the car is still easily driveable? I'm getting thumps so hard that I cannot continue driving until it goes away, and it usually does. But only a matter of time until it happens again.

Cool, thanks man. Will get onto it. I've only had the car for less than two months, very unfortunate but I absolutely love it so am reluctant to reject the car just yet.

Last week, Wednesday.

Cool thanks, will give them a shout as soon as I can. The only weird thing is tho, my gears all change SMOOTHLY when the tranny is NOT playing up.. And when the tranny IS playing up, the gears change violently rough. Like really bad!

Thank you! The link would be much appreciated. I'd say 2 to 3 would be the hardest shifts while the tranny is playing up. But overall, all gears shift pretty hard.

Hey guys, newbie here! Just wondering if anyone has experienced what am I currently going through and if there is anything I can do about it. Feeling pretty hopeless right now. I have a 2007 Subaru Legacy B4 with 93,000km's. Basically, it started with a P1710 fault code. The car would intermittently shift really hard as if another car was hitting me from behind then will go into limp mode. After a few minutes in limp mode, the car would fix itself and start driving perfectly again. So I got this fixed by a tranny specialist here in Auckland, Auto Trans. P1710 is a Torque Converter Turbine Speed Sensor 2 malfunction. Luckily I am still under warranty. Once fixed and after a couple of days driving like a dream, the hard up shifting is happening again. But now, the hard up shift only happens right after start up and when the car is cold. After a few minutes, it will again fix itself and drive perfectly. The tricky part is, it doesn't always happen! I went back to the Tranny Specialist, no fault codes found and because the hard up shifting is so intermittent, they cannot easily identify the problem. Has anyone experienced this? Any input would much appreciated. Cheers guys! Rome
