1995 subaru legacy with an auto transmission

There are 2 dipsticks on the Subaru automatic. The one on the passenger side of the transmission is for differential gear oil, and the one on the driver's side is for ATF. Check with engine running at idle, in park. I believe it uses Dextron II?

No.

Sounds like the regalator could be going bad and needs adjusting

Check for leaks, have those fixed if any. Check for wetness around the transmission pan. There are hoses in the front to the transmission cooler in the radiator. Make sure there's no leaks. Then replace the transmission filter and fluid. Make sure to add Lucas Transmission Fix at least this one time. I vouch for it, its not a miracle in a bottle. If you have no mechanical or electrical problems with it. It will shift better that new. It is important that you add fluid in increments as to not over fill the transmission. If you do, take some out immediately. If not it will find its own way out. You can add the fluid while the vehicle is on, running in park. Just don't get injured, fast rotating parts.

sounds like a fork problem, it won't budge probably

typical problem is the pump shaft and gear in the transmission,i cant remember if it can be changed with the transmission in it,its behind the pan on the drivers side,i pulled a transmission out of a 95 escort to fix the same problem a few years ago that had 150,000 miles on it and it drove to California and back with no problem

change fluid and filter

Sounds like filter and fluid change would be in order. If it does finally go into reverse that would be my best guess. Hope this helps and have a great day.

cheak your fluid level in your transmission as if it is low it wont go into gear properly you will move it from park or neutral to a gear it can take a while before it will kick into gear if you top up the fluid that should fix the problem if it still does it after this take it to a tranmission specalist and have it serviced as the bands may be streched

I have a 93 that had the same problem and drove the car for over a year with no reverse. Just had to watch where I parked it. When it was cold, reverse would work. After it warmed up, no reverse. Clutch disc in auto transmission was slipping. Tried fuilds and filter with no help. Ended up swapping out entire transmission with another good used one and that fix me up. Hope this helps.
