What’s the Importance of Your 2009 Outback’s Transmission?

Because your transmission is responsible for converting the right amount of power into the right amount of speed, even the smallest transmission problems should be addressed right away. They're often easy to notice. Subaru Outback transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. If you ignore Subaru Outback transmission issues you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your Outback at all.

Questions About 2009 Subaru Outback’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my Subaru's brakes? 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 small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Outback’s towing capacity. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • Does my Outback's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Subaru Outback’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Subaru's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can Subaru Outback transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Subaru Outback can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Outback ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues.
