Sounds like both seats are broken. They are on the same circuit, so it wouldn't be a fuse blown. The best way to find out is to unplug, and meter the connections.

There is heat in the butt, and the back

There should be 4 wires to your seat heater, unplug at the seat, look at the plug that is attached to the seat, hold the lock tab up, there should be 4 pins, the top row is numbered from right to left, 1, 2. Bottom row is numbered right to left, 3, 4. Check for continuity between 1 & 3, 1 & 4, and 3 & 4. if one of those has no continuity, you have a open heater loop. You can replace the loops, somewhat difficult though.

I wouldn't mess with the pedal adjustment, either there's a problem with your new clutch, or the master, or slave cylinder is screwed up.

One thing to note, the noise from the timing belt tensioner should be mostly apparent at idle, it's a intermittent knocking sound. Piston slap should be a consistent knocking sound, which increases in proportion to throttle increases. My 2000 outback has no piston slap, however it did have a leaking tensioner, which the dealer replaced under warranty. The car has 90,000 km.

If it was my car, I wouldn't push it much farther than 60k miles/100k Km. It sucks to be stuck on the side of the road, and a victim of a towtruck driver, & a strange garage... Just my two cents (cdn).

The Service Manual calls for 75w-90, or 80w-90, If you don't operate your car in low temps, I would use 80w-90, as the 75 is more expensive, and part synthetic. The trans capacity is 3.5 L, or 3.7 us qts. Dan

you adjust the headlight as follows: for the vertical, adjust the inbd screw (found on the back of the assy, you can see the two adjustment screws on the picture in your manual). adjust the vertical until the bubble is centered in the indicator. the horizontal screw is the outbd one, there is an indicator on the screw, the manual says don't adjust it more than 2 segments either way from the center of the guage.

What kind of trim is on your windsield? I isolated mine by putting some tape over the trim. The trim on my 2000 is a flexible rubber, all around the outside edje.

I do have the 1997 legacy manuals. All of mine were re-named with the appropriate title, when downloaded. If you want to try e-mailing them, send me the names of the ones you want. My e-mail is dk.w@sympatico.ca Dan

My 2000 legacy had a very loud squeal at high speeds (around 120 kph) It sounded like a warning horn. It was the rubber windshield trim on the r/h side vibrating. It drove me crazy til I located it. It sounded like it was coming from under the dash.

What Speed, and from where is the sound coming from

Yohy, I don't know of any way to recover them, other than downloading them again. What model year did you download, If I have those file's I could e-mail them to you. Dan

I had the same problem with the txt file extension, took me a while to realize it though. I e-mailed them about the problem, but they couldn't duplicate it. Glad to know It wasn't just me screwing up!
