  1. 85 5spd d/r normal driving, milesfox diagnosed it as speedo cable :cool: arrive at destination, noise when clutch engaged in neutral or gear drive around, 2nd synchro = grind go mudding, shift from 1 to 3 lo, to compensate for lack of 2, made it the farthest that got stuck, clutch set on "bake" abandon cars, go to prom awhile later, my car shows up, missing a few nonessential parts, thanks MilesFox 84 4spd d/r accerating on interstate, 3rd gear, 4 grand, go to shift to 4th, grind......................... shove it back in 3rd, and drive it home can't move out of 3rd no matter what put 85 trans from above in to replace 84 trans, still going good, except for that 2 synchro
  2. search for jumping volt guage there is a wire that feeds the ign circuit that goes bad, and is the usual suspect, my first guess have your alt tested, should be 14v+/- does the volt guage go up and down when the turnsignal is on?????
  3. one time when I was bored, I called the parts store for an ea81 timing belt he said his dad worked on subarus, and he would look for one I call him the next day and he can't find one
  4. that's when the harsh ones say search and the nice ones say search and provide a link http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/search.php?
  5. it may very well be the cause of the problem and other driveability issues, dumping exhaust gas in the air filter housing or you could be picking up ash from mt. st. helens check your sparkplugs
  6. OR you CAN use the ea81 flywheel and the ea82 pressure plate, 1,000+ miles of proof! do not machine the extra material out to make the pp fit
  7. the advance timing is a matter of application determines the curve#1 should point to #1, it's close if you're clueless
  8. you need to be properly grounded, all of them and add more
  9. is the pulsing like ............. or ........____________ where .is pulse and _ is no pulse it may just over-pressure and shut itself off check for air flow restrictions
  10. replacement I swapped the visors from my ea82 85 wagon in my 84 brat clear duck tape
  11. also, after you run straight water, it is a good time to add a bottle of 10 min flush to remove all the scale buildup, then flush it out with water, leaving the rad drian valve open
  12. is there one that screws into the head drain port? I don't like cold
  13. you should be able to shif in 4low when going 50 MPH, JUST shift to 5 and low, you're good for about 65 that way
  14. 1. what's available 2. who uses one 3. how well do they work
  15. I had a water pump go bad, it stil pumped like it should, but you could rock the shaft back and around side to side
  16. but, the right valve cover recieves atmosphere air, which has moisture in the form of humidity, over time that moisture combines with blowby gasses to make the goo you know don't touch the head gaskets
  17. you can use fuel line to replace it, mind is fuzzy as I changed a bunch of stuff around to make the ea82 carb and manifold work on the ea81mive this, cut that, it all works
  18. worry about it ONLY if it is sequential fuel injection some systems may fire a bank at a time
