Hi, First off thank all of you for your help throught the years. Unfortunaletly I just moved to Denver from Lake Tahoe. I Live in an apartment without a garage and on street parking. So now I will have to pay some one to do maintenence on my 97 outback. SO if anyone has any suggestions of a place in Denver that would be great. Thanks

thanks for the advice. for some reason though i took the release cylinder off and now i can't bolt it back on. the piston rod won't go back into the little nook in the throw rod. i can move the rod back and fourth but it doesn't go back far enough. and i can't push the piston in any farther. any one have any ideas or even know what i am talking about. it doesn't matter if the clutch is in or out

ok 97 obw 198000mi. the other day my clutch stuck to the floor. got under the hood and noticed the hose was split. Now i don't no which one is the release cylinder and which one the master is but it was the hose that went from a cylinder on top (the one that has a rod with a nipple on it that pushes the clutch back out) to the lower cylinder by the bottom of the engine. ok anyways i put a new hose on and bled the system but now the clutch is really hard to push and still doesn't come back up. i pulled the i am guessing the release cylinder off ( the one with the rod) and nowi cant get it back in. its like the rod is to long and i can't get it into the part that pushes the clutch (throw rod)sorry this might not make any sense but if it does can anyone help. i need to get to work in the morning thanks jake

ok just pulled master cylinder off and nitcied the ose is split going into it. does that mean no fluid can get to it??? do i just need a hose or do i still need a master cylinder? jake

thats the top cylinder? the slave cylinder is near the bottom? should i get a used one or are they cheap enough to just go buy a new one?. and do you just replace it and blead the system or is it more complicated? thanks again i would be in a world of trouble without this site. jake

Hi I Have A 97 Subaru Outback. 195000 Miles. I Put A New Clutch In Last Year. When I Put The Engine Back In The Clutch Stuck To Floor. THE LITTLE NIPPLE THINGY WOULD PUSH BACK OUT I Took The Top Cylinder Off And Put It Back On And For Some Reason It Worked. Today It STuck To The Floor Again. Only Now There Is Some Fluid On It And The Tube Going Down. Any Ideas? I Don't Have A Clue. I CAN'T GET IT TO WORK. Jake

once my abs light came on on my 97 outback and then about 20 miles latercar died andfound my alternator died ???????????

isn't 2.5l dohc ej25 a phase 2?

whats shaffears #132?

thanks for the advice so far...its funny i got the car for FREE! and i am $4500 into it! hahhahha oh well i guess its like they say nothing is for free yeah jb weld is what i was thinking of do you think it could seal it on the outside or seal some of it and could it take high temp heat oh yeah anyone know if the headgasket can give completely and let a lot of oil start spraying out? jake

ok o i have a 97 subaru outback. 195000miles. last year had to rebuild the engine do to a timing belt pulley failure. so unfortunatley i used aftermarket parts. all the seals failed and leaked oil except rear main. so i took it to a shop and paid a lot of money to fix seals. cam seals and valve covers (NOT REAR MAIN THOUGH). now i still have oil leaks which is do to my new headgaskets failing. (i put them in and they were aftermarket) THey are leaking a little bit out of the top. i seriously have no money. any ghetto ideas. the car smokes after i drive 10 min and smells and is really annoying. i suppose i could live with it but... can i put that (what do you call it) liquid that turn to kind of a metal stuff on it? any oil leak stuff work. it is those layered metal headgaskets i can't afford to fix it and won't sell it to anyone in that condition. help jake

last year i had a tensioner blow up on my 2.5 dohc. i pulled the engine and rebuilt everything. the car had 180000miles. now i wish i would have just spent the 900$ and bought a used jap engine with 40000 miles. don't know how many miles are on your gt just a thought jake

ok 97 outback, 193000mi and new clutch so i get this metalic noise at about 3500rpm or sometimes when i down shift. when i got the car i put a new clutch in so i don't know if the sound was happening before that. possibly exhaust heat shields? ( i am hoping) it scares me a bit cause i have already put tons of money into the car. any ideas from anybody? or any similar stories thanks jake

valve cover seals. leak and blow back ont that plate. i just had same problem on 97 outback. i thought sep plate or rear main seal. turned out to be just the valve cover seals jake

well thats good to know i will leave them be? i was just under there trying to figure out why my keyless entry won't go in program mode. i have tried everything i can think of and have done the directions to a t? any ideas? someone disable it maybe who had the car before me?

ok 97 obw i was looking under the steering wheel under the dash and noticed two green electrical plugs that weren't plugged into each other. i didn't want to plug them together in fear that the airbag might deploy. anyone know what they might be and know if i can and should plug them together thanks

yeah i have held it for 40 seconds, i am pretty sure it is the right button. it is right behind the hood release. iterestingly i have to push that button in to start the car aswell. does that make any sense? would there be another button. also i have a few fuses that are not in the fuse box. would they have anything to do with it? thanks

yeah ia msure the battery is installed and fresh ... but that doesn't make a difference at this ponit. i can't get the car to cycle the locks and go into programming mode.

yeah i looked at that earlier. i just can't figure out why when i hold the button in it wont cycle the locks. i am starting to think the system just doesn't work anymore. and i am out o luck

ok 97 obw just got a replacement remote with instructions. pretty easy. says to hold either the led button or button under the dash and the system will make the lock turn on and off three times and then you are in programming mode. ok tried each button (with key on like it says0 and not getting it into program mode. any ideas if i have fuse i need to replace or my system just doesn't work. please help all i want is a keyless entry jake.

Do Not Use Aftermarket Parts. Aftermarket Timing Belts Are A Half Tooth To Long. I Made The Mistake. You Will Get Numerous Cylinder Misfire Codes. I Put A Oem One On And Now Feel Like I Am Driving A New Car. Also All The Aftermarket Seals I Put In Leaked. Thats Why I Was In There And And Replaced The Tb Jake

yes it worked. thank you so much. there was no fuse there. your cover doesn't say anything about a fuse for reverse lights does it. they don't work either jake

i don't hear a click or anything. i'll check my fuse box and look for that one. thanks! jake 6th fuse from upper left hand corner. top row?

would a test light work to test the pins? i don't know much about electronics. but wouldn't you assume they are not because there are new bulbs. i have a friend with a 97 outback maybe i can look at there fuse box cover. thanks for any and all help jake
