2001 Subaru Outback Questions & Answers

  • 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. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Subaru Outback? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my Outback's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Subaru Outback’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform.

Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Subaru Outback? Yes. Subaru Outback transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.
