Questions About 2017 Subaru Legacy’s Transmission

  • What can I tow in a Subaru? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your Legacy towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Legacy is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my Legacy transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Subaru Legacy’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform.

The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
