[07 3.0r 5ET - Jerk when going into 5th at low revs]

Make sure the dealer is "updating the PAK file"  and not just resetting the TCU. Anybody can reset the TCU with a $15 VAG-COM cable,whereas only dealers can update the software.

 

Definitely reset the TCU first and see if that helps.

Good tip, I'm on trademe looking for a vag com adapter, most say they don't work with Windows 10, is that true and I need Windows 7 32bit?

 

Appreciate the help

Thanks guys, a Subaru dealer here has quoted me $120 to reset the gearbox settings.

 

Does anyone on this forum have the tools for a bit of a saving?

[07 3.0r 5ET - Jerk when going into 5th at low revs]

Hi all,

 

I've just got a used 3.0r Legacy and the dealer changed the transmission fluid on import. I never drove it before the service, but it jerks when it goes into 5th, which is particularly evident at low revs at around 50-60kph. 

 

At higher revs it doesn't seem to have the problem.

 

It's done 58k, so hardly overworked.

 

Does anyone have any idea, could it be the torque converter?

 

Thanks in advance

[07 Legacy JDM Question - Converting from Kenwood GX204JE to Mcintosh possible?]

Hi all,

 

I want to keep the interior as stock looking as possible, and want to get official NZ bands (I have a band expander but the audio quality is poor).

 

I can get a Mcintosh unit from AU with dual temperature control like mine, which also comes standard for the AU/NZ bands.

 

My question is, do I need to get the amp and anything extra to get it to work? Also will I get better audio without changing the speakers?

 

Thanks in advance
