2023 Subaru Ascent Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Subaru? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Subaru? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your Ascent towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Ascent is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Ascent's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Subaru Ascent transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Subaru. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Subaru Ascent? Yes, your Subaru Ascent can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Ascent ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues.
