Hello I have a relative's 2013 Subaru Crosstrek with a CVT issue. It's got the p0971 solenoid C high pressure code.
A transmission shop said a complete new CVT replacement is recommended, at $10K installed. Or a used replacement would be $5.8k.
The car is at 111k miles. Purchased used at 81K miles.
I test drove it and the P0971 code did come on, and the transmission/engine does seem to not be giving full power. Traction control light came also. There were some noises also at low speed turning.
I researched and the solenoid C code is the AWD solenoid in the valve body. The valve body is on the top of the transmission on the TR580. It's the 3 to 4.5 ohm solenoid. eBay like 80 bucks.
I was either going to replace the valve body with a complete remanufactured valve body, or just the solenoid.
Since more of the transmission may be damaged, I was opting to just replace the solenoid for $80 to see how it drives, and if the code comes back. And go from there.
Just wondering if anyone has any experience or advice or places to point to for information.
Thank you
