Detailed Product Description

The Standard Ignition TCS365 automatic transmission control solenoid is designed to provide accurate and responsive control of the transmission system in Subaru Forester, Impreza, and Legacy vehicles. This solenoid features a female connector and male blade terminals, ensuring a secure electrical connection. The push-on attachment method simplifies installation while maintaining a firm hold. The rectangular connector shape with two connectors supports reliable connectivity, and the included wiring harness with four wires and varying lengths (from 1.25 to 13.25 inches) allows for proper fitment and routing within the vehicle.

Constructed from a combination of metal and plastic, this solenoid balances durability with resistance to heat and vibration commonly found in transmission environments. The package includes one solenoid and a wiring harness but does not include gaskets, hardware, or mounting brackets, so these should be sourced separately if needed.
