    I have a 2002 Subaru Forester that I just put a brand new engine in over 8 thousand miles ago. It has 228k on it. Since then it’s been a great car, besides the fact that the transmission acts up sometimes, and tonight it left me alongside the road. After going up a steep hill (55-60 MPH), and...

    Hi there! So I have a 98 Automatic Forester L that I just bought. It has a lag in between gears when it shifts, which the mechanic I took it to before buying said wasn't an issue.
