1. People often mistake engine and transmission issues. I see it all the time “will you look at my transmission, it’s slipping bad” ends up being an engine issue. The RPMs shooting up and lack of lower can emulate slipping but it’s actually not. It’s just so underpowered and poor performing everything is working against vehicle movement 2. Was the original torque converter used or the one with the new trans? 3. fix the engine issues first. 4. list the exact engine codes your getting. Number and description. 5. “Too lean” suggests there’s a simple vacuum leak, very common after an engine or trans pull. Check the brake booster vacuum supply hose and intake hose and all fittings, clamps, etc. make sure there are no leaks. 6. Spray starting fluid around the intake. Start at the air filter and slowly work your past all the hoses, hose connections under the intake hose and to the engine where the intake clamps to the engine. With a bottle is starter fluid in hand this takes like 5 minutes or less. Easy. if there’s a hose leak it’ll suck the starting fluid in and just squirting fluid will cause the RPMs to jump. Then you know you have a leak. You should be able to spray that without any change to engine idling RPM. Any change shows a leak. That’s a long explanation just in case you haven done it before, but it’s so easy, and that’s so common, give it a shot.

bd6675, The best method is to remove the entire plastic dash trim plate and fill the scratches with appropriate body filler, sand the entire trim plate, and then spray paint the entire plate to the desired colour. It sounds daunting, but its not, and you can do the entire job yourself, and reinstall the trim piece the next day. Bear with me. These dash trim plates usually pull straight off the dash when pried along the seams. The neat part is that all of the switches and knobs usually aren't attached to the trim plate, and stay behind, meaning that you can fix and paint the trim plate and still drive the car. Usually as well, the dash vents are attached to the back of the trim piece and just clip on, so they can be removed. I'm giving you a link to download the US factory service manual for your 2008. Download the manual from the link (takes 10 minutes or so) and then search the body section for the interior trim section, and the pictures will show you where the clips for that trim piece are located, and will also show you how to remove the piece without breaking anything. Then take the trim piece to an automotive paint supplier shop in your city and get them to make up a spray bomb to match the silver colour needed (less than $20). Also get a small tube of body filler pin hole filler, and one sheet each of 320 wet/dry (grey coloured) sand paper, 800 grit wet/dry and maybe 1000 grit as well. Then fill the scratches and sand them down with 320, then 800, and finally lightly sand the entire trim piece with 1000 to remove the shine so that your colour coat will adhere to the plastic well. (Ask the paint guy if you need to use a primer paint before your colour coat is applied. Then let it dry overnight and reinstall the trim piece. Here's the shop manual. Check out the interior dash section I referred to and have at it. Its not rocket science. It really is a DIYer kind of job. Good Luck! http://jdmfsm.info/Auto/Japan/Subaru/Tribeca/2008/

So my 92 loyale has a digital AM/FM radio with the tape deck. The tape deck is hooked to the head unit via 8 pin DIN. I read a few topics on how to make a cable, but none on how to mod the tape take and keep it. So inside the tape deck there is a pin header that is soldered on the board at the end of the 8 pin cable. This is the pin out: Blue = Left + Red = Right + Yellow = Audio - Black = Power - Brown = Power +12v Green = Tape in deck. Turns head unit on, but disables radio. So you can solder an aux cable to red blue and yellow. It seems the head unit automatically mutes the radio signal when my phone is connected, didn't need to wire a switch to the tape in deck signal

I've overheard some hunting for keys at a So Cal PNP, shouting to each other when they found keys. Remarkable....pun intended.
