Detredwings02 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Hey everyone, My first post on here. I have a 2.5 Subaru Legacy auto. I've noticed that there is a grinding/squealing sound sometimes when accelerating, and it sometimes slips, I.e, if when I hear the noise, I put my foot down and the revs don't register, until a second or two later the revs shoot up... I have done the usual googling/YouTube thing, and to me it seems like the torque converter. Do you think I'm in the right area? I know diagnosis over text is impossible, but was just wondering if anyone has experienced or fixed this before. Cheers everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenmamba Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Have you checked the tranny fluid level and colour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detredwings02 Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 Hey thanks for the reply. Yea level is fine, maybe a tad high, and colour is turning but still a bit of pink in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenmamba Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Confirm you are checking with the motor running, in park? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detredwings02 Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 Yea I drove home from work, which takes about 10 minutes. And then parked up and left it idling while I checked it. I did notice today also, that there was a little bit of squeaking while I was parked, I couldn't find the source with the bonnet up. The sounds and slipping seem to happen more often at low revs/low speeds. Although it could just be harder to hear the sounds at higher speeds.
