WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Subaru Forester. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Repair or replace any faulty ATF radiator and AT hoses, ATF cooler pipes, clamps and washers found in the inspection below.
- Check for ATF leaks in joints between the transmission, radiator, ATF cooler pipes and each ATF hose.
- Check the clamp for deformation.
- Lightly bend the ATF radiator and AT hoses, and check for cracks on the surface or other damages.
- Pinch the ATF radiator and AT hoses with your fingers, and check for poor elasticity. Also check for poor elasticity in the parts where the clamp was installed by pressing with your fingernail.
- Check for peeling, cracks, and deformation at the tip of the ATF radiator and AT hoses.
