What happens when you "ride" your Subaru's brakes?

Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. 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 your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your WRX is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.

When should I have my WRX's transmission fluid checked or exchanged?

Maintaining your Subaru WRX 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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.

Can Subaru WRX transmission fluid leak?
