Head gaskets
mattocs replied to v12nut's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
The gaskets are only like $30...at least on 1stSubaruParts.com -
I've only seen one Brat in this area...its a blue one with a cap on it. I've seen it in Slippery Rock, Butler, Evans City, and Cranberry Twp. It is good to know there is more than one in Western PA!

Mass Air Flow sensor? It wasn't just the first ones...it is in all. It is what connects to the box the holds the air filter. I got one on eBay for $10, and one at a junkyard for $80. It really killed my gas mileage when mine died. A used one would work fine, if you can find one at a good price. Mine came off a older EJ22 Legacy...so they outta all be about the same. MAF are up until 1999. 2000+ used MAP. Check out http://www.cobbtuning.com/tech/airflow/

If I wanted an automatic vehicle i'd buy a Cadilac or Lincoln...not a turbocharged Subaru If you want to improve gas mileage change the plugs and filters when they need it. Do not put on a cold air intake or something...that will kill your fuel economy. If you want performace...you already have a sucky off the line time due to the auto tranny...and a cold air intake would make it even worse. I'd get a better turbo or new engine components.

clutch

It cost about $800 for a new clutch in my 95 Legacy. This was at a local shop. The dealer price might be more...but don't quote me on that. -

1. They ABS systems brakes many times per second to prevent tire lock up. They are supposed to vibrate and shake a little bit. Pull the wheel off and check the roter...if it is real bad I am sure its something...but it will always have some shaking and whatnot because of the ABS. 2. Uneven tirewear, and it might need aligned and balanced. 4. Look at a junkyard for a car that was hit in the rear (front end will still be good) https://www.1stsubaruparts.com has the hood for about $250 + shipping. The dealer can get it...but you'll be paying a lot more.
