My friends 4th gen with only 100k seems to be acting up. Revs sporatically jumoing all over the place, and when coming to a stop at a redlight the car dies. One shop said it was the transmission that needed replacement. Is this accurate? Car shifts smooth, has low miles, and has never been abused.

Any imput would be greatly appreciated

 

Wow, The fail is strong with them. Its probably your Idle Air Control Valve.

Thats about a 20 Min job for a noobie.

Seach for instructions on how to do it.

I knew the shop was wrong, quoted my dad 1000 buck for replacement of the cats.

 

Yeah this sounds like a vacuum problem. unless the throw out bearing is going bad and the clutch engages on its own but thats unheard off.

 

Vaccum Problem Yes, Throw out bearing not so much..

Thanks for playing though, nice to see some noobies actually contributing rather than spamming.

 

Were they also shooting black tar heroine in the back room? Jesus, Scam artists; find a new shop bro!

 

How did they go from tranny to cats?? What's the name and location of this shop for our records...

 

Different cars, my friend has the problem with his 4th gen. My father need new cats put in his subaru and thats what they quoted him.
