Questions About 2002 Subaru Impreza’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my 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. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Subaru tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your Impreza towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my Impreza's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Subaru Impreza transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Subaru, so check with your technician first. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Subaru Impreza? Yes. Subaru Impreza transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.
