1995 subaru legacy reverse is slipping think it could be a solenoid? Which solenoid and where can I find it? Thanks in advance. Yahthay

When you loose reverse it is pretty much over for the trans

Only a complete disassembly & rebuild,usually resolve that

Sounds like the clutches for 3rd Gear are worn out. Need to rebuild or replace the transmission.

It's a bad solenoid. Reverse and low gears work off the same set of clutches. If you have first gears , then its a solenoid problem. I would first start by pulling plugs, transmission, TCM and everything in between. Check for corrosion, Use an ohm meter and check the wires for continuity. On some models the safety neutral switch/ range selector switch has a lot to do with how the transmission shifts. If the tcm can't read the switch it wont send power to the solenoid. so far I haven't found a place that will sell just solenoids. You have to buy the whole package. These start at about $200.00

hi i would suggest checking the amount of oil in the trans by removing the dip stick by the firewall in the centre of the engine bay first if thats low it will cause trans to slip, if thats all good next step would maybe to get trans computer tested

YOU HAVE THE STARTER SOLENOID CONTACTS BURNT. REPLACE THE SOLENOID, OR STARTER WITH A REBUILD ONE.

i think its 5 qts dexron II but if you look in the owners manuel it will tell you exactly

The code 45 in a later model is for the AWD control module causing harsh shifts. On a 2000 model the warranty per recall is 8 years and 100,000 miles. For your model you can try calling a dealer about recalls.

A solenoid needs so much power to kick in.  I think your battery is getting old and not at full capacity.  Hove it check and replace if needed.

the flywheel may be shiny and slippery. Also the clutch may be very worn down. You will probably need to replace the clutch.While you have to remove the throwout bearing. replace that too.

The Dipstick is on the driver side right next to the starter and yes you also put the fluid in there.
