Questions About 2007 Subaru Forester’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your Subaru's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Subaru Forester? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your Forester towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Forester is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Forester's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2007 Forester’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. 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 Forester? Yes. Subaru Forester transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
  • Who does Subaru Forester transmission repair? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair Forester transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Is it okay to drive a Forester with a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your Forester if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
