Well, I found out today my '92 Legacy SS Auto basically has no 2nd gear. Any ideas on what it might be? Or is it just a completely shot tranny? I had it inspected by AAMCO and they said it didn't throw any codes or anything. I'm considering swapping in a 5MT, but will have to find someone to do the work.

What is a "band"? Sorry, I'm not exactly a transmission expert :-?

And is there any way to check the solenoid? Wouldn't it have thrown codes if that was it?

on a related note something I think happened to my Impreza it started off very small the tranny would slip trying to back up but never forward??

then one day it just went poof and I had no reverse.. I had to push myself backwards lol...

but the car was FWD so it was not worth the effort to fix.
