  1. It may be worth checking your clutch fluid and see if it's dirty. I live in sunny california and had issues with my clutch getting into gear. I found that the fluid was dirty and there was a defect in the slave cylinder hose. https://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6054858&postcount=2633
  2. Replaced my PCV valve and hose. It really helps to have the clic-r clamp tool. It was a pain to work in a such a confined space though.

  3. Replaced the the slave cylinder in the GT. Found the clutch fluid was very dirty and had some rubber in the bottom of the reservoir. The rubber hose from the hard line had a serious deformation at the crimp. I have a stainless steel hose on the way to replace.
  4. haven't posted on here in a while. I haven't done much to the LGT over the years. I am finally getting around to installing the KONI inserts after a mishap with the stock suspension caused me to bend a rims. I had a heck of a time searching for a replacement. In addition to the koni install, I will swap the lower control arm because the rear pancake bushing is ripped. I had plans to pick up the parts today but when I was out getting coffee the clutch got stuck to the floor! I have a replacement on the way from the same parts counter. Any tips on bleeding the clutch slave cylinder alone? Last time I remember bleeding it was when I did the clutch damper delete with GTEASER back in 2015...
  5. June 2018 - 109K the HG in my 2010 LGT failed. Car overheated, idiot lights flashed. repair was successful with ARP bolts.
  6. We got our 2.5i back yesterday. Transmission feels a lot smoother and no longer noisy. The SW showed us the cost for the repair and it was just shy of 7K. Plus the $800 for the rental. They made this a painless experience! Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
  7. I called the dealer yesterday and they are still waiting on the parts to arrive. Dealer mentioned they are handling another customer with a similar issue. Parts for their's were order at the end of June and the part just arrived recently. So it will be about a month. We are in a Hyundai SantaFe Sport SUV rental for the duration. SWMBO is starting to appreciate sitting up higher. This warranty work may end up costing me after all!!!
  8. They didnt ask me to recreate the problem. When i put it in manual mode i used the paddle shifters. I got up to 4th gear using the shift up paddle. When coming to a stop I did NOT use the shift down paddle. I let the CVT handle it. When I got to the stop line i hit the brakes more firmly an then it stalled and died. Hope this helps.

  9. I was in a residential area, so around those speeds when slowing down. I have experienced the issue less frequently while in automatic mode as well. I was just able to duplicate them in manual mode. Also this is my wife's Legacy. I have a LGT....I do get the sports car feel!
  10. I believe they used the TSB as leverage to get the CVT repaired. My subaru dealer called back and said it was specifically the torque converter and that the repair will be covered, no charge to me. Repair will be covered under the warranty not the TSB. They should have it done by Friday. I was able to recreate the stalling in my car. I kinda wish I got video of it. But the way I was able to get it to stall was: Let me just preface this by saying, this worked on my Legacy. It may or may not work for yours. Please be extremely careful trying this. I won't be responsible for damage to you, your legacy or any other property. Find a place where you can try this. Open parking lot or something. Just be careful. Okay.... Put the car in drive and drive normally for a about 15-20 sec. Then put it in manual mode. Continue to drive normally using the paddle shifter. Find a stop sign. Preferably one where there's not a lot of traffic. Coming up to a stop sign don't use the paddle shifters to lower the gears. As you apply the brake to slow down, when you get close to the stop sign press more firmly on the brake, almost like a short stop. When I did this the car shuddered terribly, stalled then died. I had to put it in park then restart the car. Good Luck.
  11. I just dropped my 2.5i na to the dealer. I had to make them aware of the TSB. The service advisor was actually surprised by it. He wasn't aware. Looks like they are going to take care of me and my Legacy. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
  12. Agreed!! see page 3 of this article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jensen/2017/07/07/facing-complaints-subaru-offers-extended-warranties-on-1-5-million-vehicles/3/#504ef9a66492 I would make sure Subaru Canada is included in this campaign.
  13. I just called to have my 2010 2.5i CVT checked out. It has about 62K miles and the original CVT. When coming to an abrupt stop the Legacy stalls and dies. I suspect this has to do with the TSB 16-107-17. For mine the torque converter specifically TSB 16-90-13R I attached a copy of the "locked" TSB from STIS. 151725-151724-16-107-17062217.pdf
  14. I also need get off my butt an install mine. should the front piston stay compressed after being pushed down? http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g217/amidroc/2010%20Legacy%20GT%20Premium/th_20160328_220250_zpsce9bwuqc.mp4
