SUBARU3

That's what I figured. These just showed up when I was buying cat food!! LOL. Thanks for the quick feedback!

Are these things pretty easy to install and do they work? I need to boost the rear of a 95 Legacy sedan. These popped up and I was wondering if they might work on the original struts with 105K. Struts are fine...just saggy. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076KWYF34/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_5?smid=A3H0Q55MMMNUGX&psc=1

Looks like 12 volts. Todd

Guess I better stock up on these TCUs!!! I will let you know how things go when I swap this one out! Any other years that interchange with 91? It's looking like they are all different. (2WD 4WD and changed after 1995) I have 2 1995 autos too. Hope their controllers last! All low mileage cars, but they are getting old too! Thanks guys!

Found TCU on eBay...worth a shot!

Played with everything tonight. Unplugged the TCU and replugged, disconnected the battery and replugged, played with fuses and pushed back in. Now I get the lights on the dash, BUT the "power" light will not work. Manual lights and the gear selector lights DO work. Now stuck in 3rd only, no matter what. Last night trans shifted fine. I'm guessing the TCU is failing. It has to be getting power for the dash lights to light...correct? I guess I will replace TCU....It's part # 31711AA921 if anyone has one. Todd

OK....Car drove last night and shifted fine, after reset via battery disconnect. Now tonight...same thing again! All dash light related to the transmission are out, nothing flashing, no power or manual and no center gear position indicator lights in the cluster. Car drives in 3rd only. Once again, reset with battery disconnect and all is fine. Lights reappear on dash and transmission shifts and drives perfectly. What I said earlier, is that when this happens , I lose all dash lights related to the transmission. There would be no way to pull a code, (if present), as all the lights are out. This seems to be related to a total power disconnect of the TCU, but how come if I D/C the battery, all of a sudden it powers on? I will be replacing the fuses and jiggling the connectors later today. Maybe it's just that? It is not the trans is would appear!

OK...so upon further assessment, I noticed that after starting the car, the Power, Manual and the center drive selection indicator lights, (P R N D 2 1 were ALL out). All cables intact and no obvious issues. I shut car off, disconnected the battery for like 4 hours. Upon reconnecting, restarting and putting in gear...all is back to normal! Car shifts OK and all the dash light and indicators are illuminating again. But if it was a code, the "power" light would be out, so how would a code be pulled? So it appears that the TCU just needed a reset for some strange reason and being placed limp mode, I lost all dash transmission related lights. Just weird. Guess I will see what tomorrow brings! I can't believe this trans is bad, it's been so babied and only gas 106K on it! But it shifts fine now...so it can't be bad. An anomaly of some sort maybe...... I pray!

Ah... I see it's the "power" light that is used for codes.

I don't see a "TCU" light on this dash. Nothing in manual either. Am I missing something?

I appreciate all the feedback! Working on this. I will keep you posted!

Nothing blinking and no rodent damage. Car was just driven without issue a week before. Sitting on concrete driveway in suburban neighborhood. Just weird. Is there some other fuse for TCU someplace?

(1991 Legacy 2WD 2.2 106K ) OK.... so today I went to drive the car and I only have 3rd gear. (Reverse too). (Car is not a daily driver, but does get driven a few times a month). Anyway, no matter what I do, it's 3rd gear ONLY. Starts form stop in 3rd and never changes with speed. Car was fine last time I drove it. Any ideas? Limp only mode? Fuse is OK inside car and otherwise, nothing has changed, (no maintenance, or other work done on car) Low mileage 106K Weird...Did the trans just blow?? Thanks in advance! Todd

Thankfully, Texas makes for rust free cars!

The ride in my car is good....just sit's too low . Would that not be springs? The car only has 106K on it.

I would prefer to get an assembly, so I can just bolt on and not deal with a shop to install the springs. Ideas?

The reason I need to replace these is rear sag. I am assuming that if all the struts interchange, then the springs will all physically fit, just some may be stiffer and or higher?

(Subaruparts.com) Struts are the same 1995-1999, but the springs are different in 1998. Seems that the springs could not be that different to fit the same struts! Maybe made stiffer, as the 96-96 often developed sag.

I seem to be getting varied information about the strut application for my car. (1995 Legacy LS 2.2 AWD Sedan) I'm told mostly that the rear strut assemblies are the same for all 95-99 cars and wagons and that the Outback struts may be bigger/taller. Some say that 98 and 99 are different from the 1995, 96 and 97s. Some say that all are the same...like the Rock Auto catalog. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/subaru,1995,legacy,2.2l+h4,1269806,suspension,strut,7584 I'm looking at these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Subaru-Legacy-1995-1999-Rear-2x-Quick-Complete-Struts-Coil-Spring-Assembly/264629402196 Any ideas? Thanks! Todd

Hard to believe that the tire is that much higher! Not much space now after looking. Thanks guys!

Yes...TX cars here. I will keep you posted!

Actually now found a 2008 with 77K on it for 3K Opinions on that one? I'm spooked about ANY of these newer Subaru engines!! I want reliability like I'm accustomed to with the EA71 EA81 and the EJ22 (up to 1996) Seems like all the newer engines are just fragile!

I'm trying to figure out if I can run 16" wheels, with 205/60-16" tires on this car. I currently have 16" rims and 205/55-16" tires and I have no problem. but I'm told they are the MAX size I can use. Can I go a bit bigger?? I just found a hell of a deal on the larger tires! Todd

Found a super clean 2003 Legacy L sedan with 89K on it. Seems near mint. Is 4K a good price? My biggest fear is the 2.5 SOHC engine. Reliable? When do the head gaskets go on these usually? Thanks Todd
