Hi,new at this so all help greatly appreciated! I have a 1983 Subaru 2 wheel drive wagon with auto.trans. and 130000 miles. I put it gear and would not move forward or back. added 2 quarts trans fluid, now it drives fine does not appear to be over filled but billows white smoke out the exhaust. Any ideas? Sincerely, Rob

Rob; Assuming that you aren't having an overheating issue; Automatic transmission fluid burnts white. Not sure if Subaru used a vacuum modulator, but it's possible that the transmission fluid is being 'sucked' into the engine. Would explain the loss of fluid and the white smoke. Find a reputable trans. shop to have it checked.
