  1. Feeler post. will update with photos soon... 1) set LGT 2008 Wheels with TPMS 3 are good, 1 has rash $300 2) set of 2006 Spec B wheels 3 are good, 1 has rash $300 60194. Will ship but it’ll be extra.
  2. I'm still having some issues with my 5EAT after replacing a bad VB and resetting the TCU, correctly. If I go medium hard on the throttle, I get a kick when gears change from 2nd to 3rd. I also will get a kick on downshifts periodically. I can drive it around and avoid the kick by driving slower and less punchy on the peda. But if i push on it a little bit, it will kick from gear 2 to 3. Same happens on the downshift. I replaced the VB in October 2017. Reset my TCU with the above mentioned method... Any advice is welcomed. thanks and happy 4th!
  3. GOOD POINT. Anyone buy the mevos or others listed here and swap out for Whiteline bushings? On the fence if I should just swap bushings while my MAS arms are not installed.
  4. Mevotechs are still sold out. Another member posted MAS - https://www.rockauto.com/en/parts/mas,CB72083,control+arm,10401 They look very similar to Mevotechs and UltraPowers. Do you think these are also the same part with a different p/n?
  5. Are Mevotechs better than Spec B's? Have a good deal right now on a set.
  6. 2008 LGT 5EAT throwing a P0700 Turbine Speed Sensor 2 error. Is the sensor itself a replaceable item by re-soldering or do I replace the entire valve body? If the latter, where is the best place to aquire one? I'm guessing the dealer will ream me with an OEM.
  7. Thanks for the boost of confidence. I'll search around for the writeup. Can you give insight on where to find a reputable valve body? I'm guessing my options are from a junker or rebuilt... I'm looking at this Sonnax: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sonnax-VBX-SUB131-Transmission-Valve-Body-7-Solenoids-Wire-Style-/112330685605?fits=Make%3ASubaru%7CModel%3ALegacy&hash=item1a276e3ca5:g:gFoAAOSw4A5YwuFj&vxp=mtr thanks for the help!
  8. Thanks mSprank. What advice can you give me on replacing/fixing the valve body? I'm guessing my options are: - Dealer - Mechanic, of which, I have no connection or dedicated dude - Self-repair I'm up for the challenge but I have no trans experience and am purely a hobbyist guy. DP, suspension, brakes...
  9. Bumping the past - sorry. Aktorides, did you get this work done at the dealer or mechanic? Also, was the valve body modified? I see the 5EAT-S in your details... thanks!
  10. Mine stock 08 5EAT is intermittently throwing P1710 TORQUE CONVERTER TURBINE SPEED 2 SIGNAL. From what I've read, It could be "a dent in the trans pan" to "a failing valve body". Although this post isn't about diagnosing 1710, I'm searching for options to cure the problem. Any word if TransGo will work on 08? Before I go find a spare valve body, want to make sure I get the best bang for the buck thanks!

  12. I really like my setup - Invidia Q300 quad-pipe, though you'd get the same sound with the Q300 dual pipe. It's burly on startup and quiets down when idles at 1500. Upon blipping the pedal and under acceleration, it makes some great sounds, really unlocks the boxer rumble and isn't too loud overall. Stainless steel, great construction also make it a good choice though depending on where you live, you might not need it.
