Ok well i tried .... Let us know what you found instead of letting the thread die off , please. Cheers!

Or could be the coil pack has a slight crack you can't see. Undr load it shows. Not under load you'd never suspect you have any problem. I've run uphill with low gas and I believe you don't really have a problem with 1/4 tank on any hill.

I don't recall going to the other Harry's other than the big dog Hazelton. Should be fun this spring.

moosens , not psycho ..... Thanks for verifying.

I wonder if an EA81 or EA82 FWD Turbo would help you for the final drive. They are a small percentage of turbos of course. But you will find more of them than EA71 transmissions from an FE.

My 92 legacy is holding up really well here where we have used chemicals for quite some time now. My 78 is getting by because it WAS rust proofed but spots of the protection have been "salted" away. The stuff helps save lives. We've got to cry less about our cars. Yeah , I cry too. But here's my example. I got to my storage unit at 6:20am today. Took a nap in the car. Previously the roads were perfectly dry. During my nap a mist/drizzle began but the temps were perfect for ...... Evil music please .... BLACK ICE wooooo , that was scary!! Driving home was slow with accidents everywhere. And UN Freakin Believably the state trucks neglected to treat the roads ahead of time as usual. The icy northeast is like the upper Midwest. We start treating the bridges etc when temps freeze mid October maybe thru early April maybe. I got a 73 coupe brought to me across the country in the dead of winter by one of our great members here. Dragged thru all the states you'd expect are nasty in winter. Got to me crudded up with red clay , salt , you name it. We brought it over to the U Do it type of car wash and in like 20 degrees with a wind blowing 12-18mph the water just froze and cleaning it up was half assed and painful. Rant !!! Lol but yeah the trucks are all going to crap so they are seeing the light now , we hope.

Let me know if you head back this way. Blue Ridge is just a gem !! I stopped in Jonas Ridge one time to meet Semie Mosely. Google him and you'll know why. Enjoy !!!

Only the "FE" model here in the USA came with 3.70 as best as I can tell. The other five speed were 3.90 or 3.889 to be exact. Here the FE was a fuel efficient model with higher compression , different cam , and a taller 2nd and 5th gear in them. Perhaps you have a similar model? The small foil sticker is located at the side/top of the bel of the transmission. I have seen various editions but they all begin with T. When I dig up a parts manual I will have more info for you. That code 5GM is simply used to express a five gear manual. The true production code which identifies specifics is in that sticker. What model is the car this tranny is from? I have most of my manuals in storage. I will try to help but hopefully someone else has them handy.

In my service manual it calls them "5GM" , but I think you are asking for the production code which would be on a foil sticker on the transmission by the bell housing. Sound correct? Info you may or may not need: 1st gear 3.666 2nd gear 2.157 3rd gear 1.464 4th gear 1.029 5th gear 0.789

Glad you scored !!!! Great area for Subarus down there. Grandfather Mtn. ski run ??? Lol

Jealous here ..... 18 or whatever it was last night really didn't feel so bad. Warm front coming , probably over you right now. Well you are getting me primed for a Spring run - EARLY if I have my way with the weather. Top needs right now: Front drivers door for our 99 Legacy sedan Anniversary Edition kind of funky green. Have to get the code. FWD five speed tranny for my 92 Legacy 2.2 Back burner: AWD automatic tranny for our ej18 Impreza wagon. Glad you scored well !

No sweat. keep it going ! Lol

SOA if you're looking as stated above you folks largely ignored the East Coast even while we were setting a prime example of the brand's abilities just a few miles from your HQ. And I can't speak for the west and the rest but your policies on older parts up until the economy went south left many of us out in the cold. I've had a great experience with one person from SOA. That in over 33 years of owning and driving six star cars.

Vacuum solenoid ?

Is that Dave Powers? I was in touch with him for a crate engine like 10 years ago I have had good luck with ATK engines, FWIW Great find for the 73-77 owner who'd like a drop in on the shelf.

Yeah great year to have! Should always be atop of the Gen I value list.

That's what I figured for center left and right. Looks like no issue but is maybe on side ( top or bottom ) heavier and cause it to want to rotate? Or does is stay well at any point in rotation?

Yeah that's something I try to do - have a ready made unit to swap in. Getting ready to do my heater core in the old 78. Just about to turn 250k on my 92 Legacy.

Show us how and where you bolted it up, please.

Remove the column cover , grind or drill out the rivet heads , or use a chisel to turn them like a nut because they ARE threaded. Disconnect plugs and you're done. Are you replacing the key core or the contact plate (switch) ?

When you are done be sure to top off the radiator thru the little square head plastic bolt/cap on the passenger side of the radiator. Works and is easy to button up with car running up to warm.

When you are done be sure to top off the radiator thru the little square head plastic bolt/cap on the passenger side of the radiator. Cam and crank seal? Thermostat? New hoses? Always good to consider.

Yeah you're doing fine ! And you're right about the frame - chassis cars having more flex while in weenie mode. My wagon is flexing some when I jack the front. Gonna be wiggling and jiggling when it's flippin like a chicken. Rot finally got enough of mine in the firewall base/rocker/wheel arch area that something has to happen. Paying tuitions so cheap refurbishment will do fine for me.

That's one long drum roll ....... ????

I need a solid drivers door for a 99 Anniversary Edition Legacy sedan in that green which I believe is special and not the typical green on Outbacks etc. But I'll take any solid green door. If there's one there I'll make a freeze my nuts winter run. They still have wagons , right?
