This bulletin announces the availability of a countermeasure torque converter assembly to address a customer concern of very low engine RPM when coming to a stop. The condition is similar to coming to a stop in a manual transmission equipped vehicle without depressing the clutch pedal. Thrust washer wear inside the torque converter can cause restriction of the oil passage used to bleed off lock-up clutch application pressure. The result is either a delayed (momentary low engine rpm) or no lock-up pressure release. The thrust washer has been changed from a solid bushing-type to a needle bearing type.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2018/MC-10140477-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2018/MC-10140477-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10140477","components":[{"id":"engine","name":"Engine","parent":null},{"id":"powertrain","name":"Transmission and driveline","parent":null},{"id":"automatic-transmission","name":"Automatic transmission","parent":"powertrain"},{"id":"clutch","name":"Clutch","parent":"powertrain"},{"id":"torque-converter","name":"Torque converter","parent":"powertrain"}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"SUBARU","model":"LEGACY","year_from":2010,"year_to":2012,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2010_subaru_legacy","2011_subaru_legacy","2012_subaru_legacy"]},{"make":"SUBARU","model":"OUTBACK","year_from":2010,"year_to":2012,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2010_subaru_outback","2011_subaru_outback","2012_subaru_outback"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
