I have a 98 forester with 160k miles on it and an automatic transmission. If I start from a dead stop it shifts perfectly fine through all gears. However, if i slow for a corner and it is near the speed where the 1-2 shift occurs it acts like it is confused on weather to downshift or not and it will slip for a second or two before grabbing a gear. It seems to do it worse when cold but it still does it occasionally when warm. Fluid levels seem fine.
Is this a common problem? Any known fixes?
