My automatic transmission 2000 subaru outback stalls when i brake at intersections.

Car: Subaru, Outback, 2000     -    Back to Fix-It    -    Subaru Repair Manuals

Q.My automatic transmission 2000 subaru outback stalls when i brake at intersections. I had my transmission rebuilt last year, and recently had a tune up.

I already checked/done: tune-up, new fuel filter

Answer This is a common symptom of a faulty torque converter lockup solenoid. While cruising at speed the torque converter in the front of your automatic transmission makes a 1:1 contact ratio for maximum fuel efficiency. As that solenoid gains buildup from use, it holds the fluid locked in the solenoid, and will stall the car at stops just like if you were driving a manual car and forgot to engage the clutch.
