AdventureSubaru Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Welcome! 97 Legacy is a great car. If you've got the 2.2 motor you've got one of the most reliable set ups that subaru ever made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olnick Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Welcome to USMB, BBF. The 2.2 is a wonderful, reliable engine--just be aware that after the '96 model year it became an interference engine. Be sure to keep up with scheduled timing belt/idler/water pump replacement.

AdventureSubaru Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Yep, 2.2 AWD with a 4eat that is having issues... thus the future technical questions Gotcha. Post up a description of what's going on in the "new gen" section and help/advice will be on the way. I replaced the 4EAT in my wife's outback a couple years ago. It's a pretty simple transmission to work on, it's just HEAVY if you have to move it. Hopefully you wont have to learn that firsthand for a while.
