Forester Tranny Prob?

B

BRH

I have a 2001 Forester (automatic transmission) and lately have noticed
the following problem. In the morning, as I first leave the house, the
car shifts fine between 1st and 2nd gears, but from 2nd to 3rd, it's
really harsh. It kind of stays in 2nd gear a bit too long, then lurches
into 3rd. 3rd to 4th is no problem. This happens only in the morning.
10 hours later as I leave for home, the weather is a lot warmer, and
there doesn't seem to be a problem -- at least not as pronounced.

Temps in the morning here have been around 65 degrees. By the later
afternoon, it's around 88-92 degrees (Central Virginia). The car has a
little over 43,000 miles on it.

Any ideas on what the problem may be, and how to address it?

Thanks!
 
On 6/10/03, at 30,300 miles, I had it done by Subaru as part of the 30,000
maintenance. At least I think that's what the following means....."1 Trans
Kit -- $19.87; 16 Fluid -- $52.00" This appears to be a portion of the parts
list for that service.
