We had an 86 GLC and 95 Legacy

GLC broke down in Chain Bridge at rush - this is actually how I got to know my future wife as we worked in the same building and she needed a ride to work for a while. It also broke down on us 2 miles outside of Bald Eagle, PA about 3 years and 5000 miles later - timing chain both times. The Legacy was actually a pretty vehicle until the master seal started to leak. Never could get it to stop. That was a common problem for the Legacies and Outbacks of the era. Best AWD I've ever driven, though.

Did they happen to say the recommended transmission service interval?

100k**
Hokebury • 09/11/25 05:54 PM ET
In that case, I would check the fluid color after another 50K

I wouldn't get rid of the transmission. Just an illogical notion.**
