Thought this might be a good diagnostic thread if any techs see same problem on the same type of car post it here. If i come axross the problem on more than 4 cars will post it .

This can be a good start Had 4   01- 03 outbacks five speeds all expanded center diffs. Fix was to install the awd center diff from 95-99 five speed. Is stronger awd unit. Heres one more had 4 97-99 imprezas with broken coged idler and bent valves fix 16 valves and coged idler /timing belt. Had 4 -8 99-03 outbacks with leading rear trailing arm front bushing hamered out fix press in new bushing. And so on the more imput the better

Or the reverse shim on early five speeds to make reverse 70 % stronger i do every DR i biuld i get them made up 20 at a time. Heres a good one 03-09 2.5 turbos breaking the oil PU tube off and wiping out bottom end. One more 99-04 2.51s cly head droping ex valve giudes check all ex valve guide height. They sell a slightly biger guide that can be pressed in place of stock ones. And so on
