I have a 2011 Subaru Outback, AWD, 2.5L CVT auto transmission. 74,400 original one owner miles.
We don't drive a lot, having had a company pool car when I worked and being retired now, MY other car is a 2012 Infiniti G37 with even fewer miles. Fun to drive but my wife prefers riding in the Outback and it carries stuff easier and it cheaper per mile.
So the transmission has been acting a little funny the torque converter/overdrive control has been shuddering when coming off a run to a stop. Easy driving it been OK.
Just threw a bunch of transmission CVT torque convert codes; this has been a weak point of this model apparently, although only 74K miles? Out of warranty apaprently they quietly extended to 10 years 100K miles but didn't make it public.
So the first shop quoted $7700 for new transmission. The KBB on the car is $7800 trade in (presumably running).
I have it in for another opinion. They may say new transmission, too.
But if that's case, basically the car is worthless.
