This video saved me over $1k. I was moving across the country when my solenoid started going out. Was quoted $1850 to fix it. With the help of this vid and a lucky memorial parts sale at Subaru. Was able to fix my car for $750 full service including a cvt fluid change. If you read these comments thanks a bunch dude! Appreciated!

What is the process of training your transmission after the valve body replacement? Does a computer need to be involved for anything, or is it just going through the gears in a specific way?

[@gregpost3320]

Except in Canada, Subaru won't sell a valve body to anyone but a dealer. I needed a new valve body for my impreza but I couldn't procure a valve body from anyone. If I had the time, I might have been able to source one from the US. Basically, if you need a valve body up here, it's set up so you have to get the work done by a dealer. But this video would have set me up to do it myself. Next time.

[@dannytee2701]

Great vids MRSUBARU, helped me isolate the problem with an XV i have here in Australia. Unfortunately Subaru Parts Deals dont ship internationally, another very similar name Subaru Parts Deal dont either. The latter did a kit version with all your parts & oil listed for a very reasonable price. Here's an example of how we're being royally shafted here in Aust, i've done the $ conversion for the valve body alone our local stealer asking $2,480 USD .. sad but true

[@timbrown9731]

Great to know about Subaru parts pro deals Robert, darn it I sure wish I waited on that back half of the air filter cover it’s the back half the MAF screws into and what happened is the little retaining clip for the power steering hose broke off on me ,I ordered it from elk Grove Subaru it took those clowns three months to get but then again maybe there’s a backorder situation on certain parts for SOA?

[@jessebracero6817]

My 2015 Subaru Wrx CVT TR690 had a loud Whining nois, though I needed to rebuild it but it took a new oil filter replacement and two quarter of oil. Now the Whine noise is gone and runs nice and quite.

[@TheTedbull]

I have a 2014 forester, 136k miles. Only FWD works. My wife admitted that the dash lights have lit up on her a couple times previosly over the last couple years but always go away. She said it only happens in below freezing temps. It has been this way for a good while. Only symptoms are occasional dash lights and no AWD. Would prolonged driving in FWD only have caused more damage to the CVT than is worth repairing with a valve body replacment? Does anybody sell individual replacment AWD soliniods? My scanner tool isnt picking up any codes either.

[@middlefingergod2803]

@MrSubaru1387 could you do a video on the truth or myth of having to change all 4 tires at the same time on subarus and why

[@caydenschmandt8753]

It's because of the AWD system. Any AWD system you want to replace all 4 tires at the same time, this is because if one tire has more tread than the rest it can cause the transfer case to bind and destroy it.

About a month ago, my 2014 Forester Premium 2.5l threw on its lights and the check engine code read P2764. I decide to just try replacing the solenoid to save money. After replacement, car drives just great for 3 weeks, until one day I'm driving through the neighborhood and all the lights come back on. I'm reading p2764 again. I reset the codes. Drive some more, and it comes back on. Car behaves similarly to the last time this happened. Now I investigate, and the solenoid is reading around 12 ohms, the same as it was when it was new. But I'm still getting the 2764 lock up torque converter error. I've double checked that I'm testing the correct solenoid. What should be my next step here? Should I assume that the aftermarket solenoid I've used is faulty, and find another one? Or should I assume that my entire valve body should be replaced? Thanks for any advice and I appreciate your videos!

so when I had replaced my valve body (subaru gave me a $650 coupon and the dealership took off $150) the dealership told me I had to do cvt learning procedure everytime I do a drain and fill on the cvt fluid (they did the cvt learning procdure as part of cost of ther repair which was $1,000 total), I felt like that was a litte over kill advice. What do you think MrSubaru1387, do you have the to do the cvt learning procedure after every cvt drain and fill? Also, what do you think about using AMSOIL CVT Fluid instead of the OEM Fluid?

Thanks man, I bought just the solenoid on eBay and did it today. Fixed it! Had a little extra fluid around, recently did a 5 quart change. Just added it in the top. Easy way I found to get the cover off was used the ground wire bolt with the 12mm head and fasten down the box end of a wrench and pull up. If you do just the solenoid be prepared for the ground connector to break. Ez fix on that though.

[@jhlewis10]

Thanks for this info, I just had these codes show up yesterday on my 2013 outback with 113k miles on it. Do you have any links for what solenoid is needed or links to a video? Ironically I just did a double CVT fluid flush a month ago. I am pretty handy with a KZbin video helping me lol.

[@MichaelBlasius22]

Do you mind if I ask what your symptoms were for your bad solenoid? I'm considering this as a potential fix myself for extreme delayed shifting and gear slippage at stops. Can you replace just the solenoid, or do you need to buy the entire valve body assembly like the video shows?

My wife's 2013 impreza sport just had all the lights on the dash light up while driving. Local garage diagnosed a weak solenoid in the valve body. They referred the replacement to the dealer. On contact the dealer quoted $1,900 for the valve body replacement and a total of $2,500 for the job. Only have 175,000 kms on the vehicle and have changed the transmission fluid twice. My wife drives very conservatively. Sorta pissed at Subaru right now. We had a mazda for 15 years that ran like brand new after 260,000 kms and is still running well and being driven by a family member. Never had any issues with that vehicle. Almost seems like Subaru are engineered to fail. We won't be buying another Subaru that's for sure.
