Hi guys, I recently purchased a 2013 crosstrek with 99k miles on it, I now have 112k miles on her. Im not sure when it started, or if it has always done this, but when I'm accelerating I feel a little jerking feeling right between 20-30 mph. I did a cvt drain/fill, the fluid didn't look too bad. The previous owner kept up with it.

Does anyone have any idea what this could be? I know its the first year for the cvt which sucks for me because its the guinea pig year. Is this just how this cvt normally acts? Does it always have a little "jerk" or "feeling" of switching gears at this speed? I have zero problems at any other speed. It does not jerk when its slowing down from a stop.

One thing I did hear (from AI) is that there was a TSB from subaru to come get the cvt flashed to update the software which can get rid of the slow speed jerk. Is this true? I plugged in my scanner and checked, and my cvt does have the factory software version, so it never got a flash. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Im sorry if im breaking a rule. It says I need to use flair? I dont know what flairs are?
