So I have a 2014 subaru impreza hatchback with 136k miles on it. The transmission fluid was flushed at 100k miles. I got five lights on my dash and had it diagnosed as needing a new valve body. I had heard that if you dont do all of the transmission flushes recommended (I think I missed the one prior to 100k because I cant see it on my carfax) it might be a bad idea to do the repair as the new trans fluid added during the valve body replacement can cause the transmission to fail.

But now ive talked to two other impreza owners that have had the same repair done with no issues. Im thrown for a loop because I had already decided its time to get a new car. But if I can repair and get another 60k miles out of this car id prefer it!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

My wife and I were scheduled to fly MIA-> DCA on american airlines this evening. The flight was originally delayed from 9:15 to 11:20. After boarding the plane the crew timed out and they deplaned us. Flight got rescheduled to 6:00 am the next day (or I guess today now). We just saw its been delayed again until 10 am. My brain has stopped functioning. They gave us hotel vouchers, no available hotels. So we are bumming in in the D gate of MIA and praying we dont get another delay. I looked it up and AA can just delay us indefinitely until they get a spot to fly. Is there anything I can do at all?

Edit to follow the rules: flight is AA1233 date of travel in quest May 2 and now May 3
