Any of you know why our torque converters only last about 30k once it's been replaced one time? I change the fluid in my CVT about once every 15k because even though I want it to die, I don't want to be stranded too far from the shop or home. I'm wondering if maybe the shop that it's had it replaced at, used remanned parts. Like I said, I've had it since 86k. I worked for Subaru up until about 4 weeks ago when the company who sells the cars, switched me to their kia dealership, and I had access to subarunet where I could find all the history on my car. It's had a multiple blowout, torque converter has been replaced twice, the car is rumored to have frame damage from the previous owner, (I've pulled this car apart and put it back together, twice and I still haven't found the frame damage that's supposedly in the firewall. I did dispute the frame damage with car fax and it's being "investigated" from what the dealer told me, which probably means no one is doing anything about it.) This car has A LOT of problems, and I've been replacing all types of parts since last year. But, every time I replace a part, I feel nothing but pride in the car and in myself. So, I just can't get myself to get rid of it. That and ever since this switch to kia, I've been making 300 less a week and my credit card has been used to pay bills and buy groceries, and because of that, my credit is in the shitter. Whatever though, you deal with life's blows.

Every time I go to sonic I get asked what kind of car it is, and now 3 people there are currently looking for one. Those three always compliment my car every time I go there. When I worked for jimmy john's I used to get told that I had the coolest delivery car they've ever seen. Most recent was a guy who said it looked awesome and wanted to race me in his beat up old GM car.

Won't the magnets cause damage to the phone? also, how did you wire the charging cord? This is a really really cool idea, I just kinda wanna know what else you did to get it to work

Just a pic from the shootout over the past weekend!

Torque converter has been replaced twice. (both warranty, and both times it stopped with the idle drop.) At this point I'm just going to wait until my transmission gives, and then take the insurance money and get a built 5EAT, and then maybe I'll be able to start adding performance modifications.

I actually heard those stories, and a lot of customers at subaru came in and said the same thing I did. Mine actually doesn't drop 50 rpms from it's usual idle of 600-800rpms. It drops down to 200rpms, and at one point it actually dropped to zero and started itself back up.

got 109k on my odometer on my 2010 legacy. My CVT has been nothing but problems since 80k. It shudders, and nearly stalls at just about every stop light in the summer. It has problems not shifting when temps reach 100+, and when going from drive to park, it does shudder. Basically, the transmission is garbage in the summer, and during the winter, my only problem is that it sounds "windy" when I'm hooning in the snow. (obviously I'm not shifting at the right time lmao) But thus far, whenever boost season hits, (or good transmission season in my case) the car drives like a ******* dream. This car has its quircks and odd things, but it's got character. Wouldn't have it any other way.
