I really appreciate you responding, thanks. Like I told BarnyB, I may just be a fussy new ScoobyDoo daddy or a scaredy-cat. There’s no noticeable problems going at surface street and highway speeds, actually pretty quiet.
This is where experience is the crucial tool. There’s an ever so slight “gear whine” in the back. This being a 2005, it’s a whole lot quieter than my dear old 2000 Forester that Bambi the deer destroyed in a suprise ambush 😆 . I agree with your advice. I think I’ll just change out the transmission fluid to make sure it’s new Dextron III – the old stuff is obviously burnt.
There’s an mention on the Subaru forums to change the transmission fluid out 3 times within 1-2 weeks. This would, in theory, “unstick” something called a “transfer duty solenoid”. It’s a cheap fix if it’s true.
I’ll probably also drain out the front and back differentials and refill with new spec’d lube. If you’ve got any general hot tips on the best way to do both operations, I think it’d be helpful to more than a few do-it-yourselfers. Again, I’m very very greatful for your thoughts and help. – Brendan

Hi Thanks a heap for responding. I may just be a fussy new ScoobyDoo daddy. I’ve driven it a few days now on surface streets and the RT 90 Turnpike. There’s no noticeable problems going at speed, actually pretty quiet. I think I’ll just change out the transmission fluid to make sure it’s new Dextron III – the old stuff is obviously burnt. I’ll probably drain out the front and back differentials and refill with new spec’d lube. Still it’s good to have some other reassurance, so thank you!
