Re: Clanking noise when going from Park to Reverse [ateixeira]

This is normal, especially on a more pronounced incline, but you might consider trying the same scenario in a different Tribeca (test drive?) to see what happens. If it is the same in the same car, I would say it is normal. It should not harm anything, but peace of mind counts for a lot.

I am under the impression that road diesel is so expensive because of the new ULSD requirement. Here in Fairbanks, diesel is $3.70 per gallon today (reg unleaded is $2.64) and #1 heating oil is under $2.50/gal (not sure of the exact number). I am pretty sure that road diesel is no longer refined locally so it has to be shipped in while the gasoline is refined about 15 miles away. If there are fewer refineries making the stuff, and it is more expensive/intensive to create, it is going to cost more.

I am guessing you checked the ATF level and all was good? Low fluid can cause engagement delays, but it would not likely cause that noise you are hearing.

Yes, it would have to come from SOA directly, though I am not sure whether it requires a direct call or could be mediated by a dealer. There's no harm in calling, though....

Tiffany, Shipo outlined this a few messages above (HERE). I suspect those are pretty good numbers. Note that he said he went with factory remanufactured, which should be the most expensive option at $2,600 installed. -Wes-

Boy, almost makes me want to go buy one just for the engine. Okay, well, maybe not, but I am antsy to see what the debut of the 2010 Legacy/Outback brings....
