'98 Forester-harsh 1st to 2nd shift
I have a '98 Subaru Forester with automatic transmission and all wheel
drive. The 1st to 2nd shift is very abrupt, even if you're accelerating gently. It feels even a bit more harsh than a full-throttle shift. The fluid was changed but that didn't help. One mechanic says there's nothing that can be done aside from rebuilding the tranny. The same mechanic says this tranny has no filter and no bands which makes me skeptical of his knowledge because I've never heard of an auto tranny without a filter or bands. A long time ago you could adjust bands, change the shift harshness by turning a screw, etc. Is that no longer possible? Thanks, -- Steve Early |

How are the engine and tranny mounts? If one is bad, it can cause a
harsh feeling shift and 1st is the high torque gear.
