99 Subaru forester s/tb type A

You can have worn bearings on the pinion gear and/or worn universal joints.

There are many suppliers for auto parts online. Anytime I need parts, I compare them with local auto parts suppliers.

If it is a manual transmission, then it is a TY754 5 speed. If it is an automatic transmission, then it is a TZ1A2.

Yes. There are 2 types available. A 1 piece and a 2 piece. The 2 piece has a seperate turn signal. Good luck and have a good day.

hey, it sounds like the oil level in the gearbox, it not only lubricates but it also fills servos that change the gears and if there is low oil it will take longer to gain pressure.

is there a fust that does it?

Go to autozone or similar and have vehicle scanned for codes. This will give you a idea what's wrong.

This explained in the owner's manual, but very poorly.
I have asked all sorts of "Experts" from Subaru techs to forum posters, and received a half-dozen different answers.
As far as I have been able to determine, operating the "Hold" switch does a couple of things.
It is only relevant in "Auto", and not "Sportshift".
It starts off in second gear, rather than first.
It will hold the car from rolling back on a moderate upgrade.
It "seems" to me to "smooth out" the gearshifts.
All of this, as far as I can understand, is to avoid sudden changes to traction in snowy / icy / wet conditions. Starting off in first, for example, would cause instant slippage, starting in second is less likely to. Engaging forward gear while rolling backwards, likewise.
I am not an expert, nor a mechanic. These are only my observations, and "sifted" knowledge from many different sources...

hey

hold AT is for icy conditions where you want the car not to change gear, (loss of traction/power) and my Subaru manual says idle engine up to 1 min after heavy driving, (lol this is not a very long time)
