    Default OT- trying to diagnose a prob for friend

    Here's the scenario:

    99 Subaru Outback with 72k, auto tranny. Anytime she needs to step on it the car will not respond and rpms will hit around 4500 before the tranny will kick down; merging, etc. is scary at best for her b/c one day the wrong situation will arise. However, if she runs through the gears manually she can get around without much fuss.

    Any ideas?

    tell her to try stabbing the peddle instead of pushing it slowly to the floor. Same thing happens in my 530 if I dont stab it.
