Funny you guys should be talking about auto trannies. Mine had a catastrophic failure today. It started to fell like it was slipping on way way home. By the time I drove 3 blocks, I lost drive altogether. Is it time to replace this trans? Could it just require band adjustment like GM trannies. Or could it be some loose bolt that is letting pressure escape as someone suggested. BTW, this is backed up by a 2.2 turbo Subaru engine. tia, BenT
