What is your question?
Bought a 2013 Subaru Legacy, previous owner didn't change CVT fluid in over 127k miles. My bad. Got a reman transmission. 2 months later felt a vibration when accelerating, before the shift and went away after the vehicle shifted. Was not vibrating when shifted into neutral. Took it into the transmission shop. They said control arms. Did those and didn't get better. Did all 4 struts and shocks. Took it back a month later after the vibration increased. He replaced both axles, driveshaft and torque converter, torque converter piece was busted off. Vibration has went down some but still noticeably there. Mechanic sent me home without fixing the problem and gave me a discounted bill... other mechanics want 1000's to try and diagnose. Are they missing something? Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately you are now so far down the "rabbit hole" that it becomes nearly impossible to know what to do next - which is why others have such a high fee to inspect. A couple important notes. CVT's don't "shift". So, not sure what was going on there. There's no way to know the quality of the "reman transmission" and even proper application to the vehicle. I would work with the current repair shop to fix your vehicle. You've already invested with them. Work with them to make it right. Talk to the manager. This is a great reason why "RepairPal Certified" is an important certification! Use this link to find some shops near you that can help with your concern: www.repairpal.com/repair-shops
