Dorman926-408 Torque Converter Lock-Up Solenoid Compatible with Select Subaru Models (OE FIX)

This product saved me more then you can know. I was being quoted 1400 dollars to repair my CVT transmission on a 2013 Subaru Crosstrek XV. Doing research I came across Dormans video on YouTube about this issue when my transmission wont lock up throwing codes. This product fixed my issues and has been working incredible! Its like a new car! This is not for everyone to install yourself, you will need some general mechanic knowledge and have to be insanely careful. 5 stars!!

I had to remove the valve body assembly and this solenoid was a perfect fit for my Forester. It fixed the problem and my car is no longer throwing codes. I just had to get a bi-directional code reader to do the transmission relearn. Well worth the time and money to save $$$

It's the solenoid on the end near the ground wire.Replacing the whole valve body for one solenoid is like buying a new car for a flat tire. Thanks to Dorman and Amazon for stocking this part.

Saved me a lot of money on my Subaru 2014 forester.

Got this as a hope to fix the dreaded P2764 on my 2014 Legacy 2.5L at 150k miles. 10k later it is still working perfectly so I think I got a good one. Install is easy enough if you're mechanically savvy. Got the transmission serviced at the dealership right afterwards to recalibrate everything and make sure the fluid is at the right level. Saved me $2300.

Did not solve my issue. The solenoid ohms were in spec when I tested it before install, lasted 1 week. 1 week after install the error code for torque converter solenoid was back. I knew i shouldn't have wasted my time swapping out the solenoid. Especially with a dorman part. I'm a full time mechanic, and dorman part quality is horrible, but it was the only brand available.

I diagnosed my wife's subaru with a bad lock up solenoid. The dealer will only sell the entire control module ($2K), not the individual solenoid. The job removing the control module, replacing the solenoid, and putting everything back together isn't too bad for a reasonably competent shade tree mechanic with some tools and for thousands less. It fits like the original but obviously not as well built as the original it replaced (4 stars vs 5), but is still working four months later (others have stated they can fail after a few months, we'll see). In the interim I fixed the original solenoid in case this one fails prematurely. Would recommend for someone handy, probably not a job for a beginner.

worked flawlessly. saved me $3k
