Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.

How much can my Subaru tow?

Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Legacy’s towing capacity.

How often does my Legacy transmission fluid need to be checked?

Regularly checking and exchanging your 1992 Legacy’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform.

Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
