  1. Service And Maintenance
    Greetings All, I recently accomplished a drain and fill using Subaru's OEM High Torque CVTF LV (SOA748V0300) on my 2019 Ascent Limited that resulted in a noticeable improvement in CVT performance. The job is not a difficult job but it requires attention to detail and the ability to monitor the...
  2. Subaru Ascent Complaints, Issues And Problems
    Curious as to if anyone has had this issue. I had my 2019 Subaru Ascent taken into the dealer for the latest recall with the transmission. That was fine, but when they were doing the work, they noticed that the CVT Transfer Clutch Assembly needed to be replaced and said it was an immediate...

  6. Subaru Ascent Complaints, Issues And Problems
    Hi all, My Ascent's CVT whines at all times - no matter if hot or cold - and pretty much at all RPMs (more noticeable above 2k) until road & wind noise drowns it out. I asked Subaru and they said this is completely normal and that it's the pump. Would appreciate any feedback, because it's...
  7. Subaru Ascent Complaints, Issues And Problems
    So our 2019 Ascent is slipping and squealing while trying to "shift". It happens going uphill, even slight grade. Usually around 55 to 65 MPH is when it is most noticeable. As we drove up hwy 36 over the weekend, it just slipped and slipped.It is unpredicable, sometimes it happens, sometimes...
