Click when auto shifts

R

Rick

I recently purchased a 2001 Forester (50k miles) with an automatic.
When it shifts from 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 3rd, there is a noticeable
(but not loud) click. It sounds like a worn universal joint slapping
together. Is this a normal sound for a Subaru? Thanks!

Not from my experience. I have 192,000 miles on my car and i just now
have started hearing a click once in a while when turning.

My 2000 Forester AT clicks lightly at every shift and it is the
electrical solenoids that controls the hydraulic shift mechanism
 
My 03 Forester clicks to - most noticable on the down shift, but super
annoying anyways.
