My 2007 Forester LL Bean edition has a strange slipping sensation when backing out from my garage and then putting the car into drive and accelerating on a cold start. Any ideas of what it could be? It's only a brief shutter that feels like the transmission is slipping before grabbing into gear. It does move though while the slipping sensation is occuring.

yes... you'll need to remove screws that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. You'll need to lift the door panel upwards in order to get it off the window ledge. Then you can access the bolts holding the mirror on and disconnect the wiring harness as well..

You will need to look at the plug for the headlight. If it looks good, I would look for the headlight low beam fuse.

there should be a collar that you have to take off first
