2000 Subaru Legacy with a standard transmission has trouble engaging into 1st gear when on a slight incline. It sounds like it is going to stall and has to be in a high RPM to shift into gear. It's fine on a downhill, or when the car is already in forward motion. Is this a sign my transmission is going? I have 84,000 miles and only purchased the vehicle last July.
Interesting problem. The gear shift is run by levers and rods, not cables. I suspect that there are problems with
a) the rear gearbox mount (e.g. broken); or.and
b) engine mounts (broken or loose)
that allows the engine/trans to move fwd/back, and this is affecting the gear shift linkage.
You should also check the clutch pedal freeplay.
I doubt there is ANY problem with the standard transmission.

Yes as long as the Motors are the same. You might need to have the computer out of doner car. Doors are suppose to fit 96 to 99.
SOURCE: Subaru won't start
You've got to assume that the trans oil change is unrelated. With the key in the run position see if the wipers work, if not the battery is dead. Otherwise, try rocking the car back and forth while in park and then hope for a miracle. If all fails, get out the volt meter and start measuring voltages at the starter and the power pack (coil).

It is on the left side hard to spot. Look below the heater hoses. Good luck, take your time and have a great day.
SOURCE: Transmission Won't Shift
The modulator is what tells the trani when to shift.. That is controled by vacuum presure.. Maybe check all the vacuum lines that lead from the trani.. Or It could be the mudulator or something else.. I belive there are some trani shops that offer free estimates..
SOURCE: car wont roll forward or back even in neutral
I assume it's a manual transmission.
If the car will not roll backward or forward in neutral (with or without the clutch engaged) the transmission is most likely locked in two gears at the same time.
This may happen if gear selectors are excessively worn. If you are able to examine the gear selection levers external to the gearbox, ensure they are in the 'neutral' (no gear selected) position when the gear lever is in Neutral. If not in correct position, you may be able to manually reset the levers to correct neutral position and thereby unlock the gearbox.
In any case, if it's happened once, it will happen again, so get the gearbox and gear selection mechanism checked for wear or breakage.
