temperature sender to make gauge accurate
CNY_Dave replied to GOM's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe dumb factor might be in the gauge vs the sender.

Need help ASAP please, broken drive shaft, axle or tranny mounts?
CNY_Dave replied to louipaw's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXNot sure what year/model, but if you get a used trans from 2004 (if your car earlier) or from before 2004 (if yours a 2004) there will probably be some parts in the tail housing that need to be swapped.

CNY_Dave replied to louipaw's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI didn't help much- I thought the video you shot earlier was of the rear diff!

CNY_Dave replied to louipaw's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe jolting was definitely in the rear diff though, yes? If one rear wheel was intermittently being driven the jolting transmitted through the driveline could make the trans jump.

CNY_Dave replied to louipaw's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe rear diff is shot? Or did that stub pop out?

2001 Subaru Outback wagon LL Beam 3.0 leaky water pump
CNY_Dave replied to 3Pin's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX270,000 I had on mine, down to almost -20F some winters, never had a drop out the weep hole. Statistically some out there should be dripping, but it's pretty rare.

2001 Subaru Outback wagon LL Beam 3.0 leaky water pump
CNY_Dave replied to 3Pin's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXOh, and be ready to put some timing chain guides in, some '01's ate them up a bit. Others are fine forever.

2001 Subaru Outback wagon LL Beam 3.0 leaky water pump
CNY_Dave replied to 3Pin's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXAre you 100% it is the water pump? I have been on here awhile, yours would I think be the first. Are you getting coolant out the weep hole at the bottom of the timing case?

Strange starting problem

Always Something Never Nothing

Front differential problems
CNY_Dave replied to wrongturninwv's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXCould it have been the shaft in the CV joint jumping around? The inner joints can get pretty bad before they really complain!

Coolant not circulating
CNY_Dave replied to TeddiJ's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI never really saw the coolant circulate on my H6. May be because of the 2 return hoses, net flow near the cap is low.

ATF flush techniques
CNY_Dave replied to elektrinis's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI had a detailed pic of the 4EAT system (it even showed the screen before the Duty C solenoid valve), the cooler feed is the return (dump) line from one specific circuit, and if the line is plugged that circuit will do weird stuff. file name is MSA5T0200A30120.pdf (you can google and find) 32 pages of MPT and VTD fluid circuits for each gear selection.

2001 OBW noobie AT Temp Light
CNY_Dave replied to Rnaquin's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXTest with the FWD fuse, likely it will have no effect. The TCU can not sense if the AWD is not releasing, and no physical problem with the AWD can be detected- only the duty C solenoid (or circuit) being shorted or opened (same for the other solenoids). It could be a bad electrical connection or a short to ground in a connector or in the harness, or bad solenoid.

2003 H6 shudders when driven easily
CNY_Dave replied to Wallis_93's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe trans in the H6 cars is for some reason even clunkier than in the 4 cyl cars, it can get a set of learned parameters that make it work like crap. Try disconnecting the battery to wipe the learning.

2000 Outback Automatic Transmission mount
CNY_Dave replied to farmer's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIf the whole trans can wiggle, all kinds of motion could result.

2000 subaru outback won't start after replacing engine
CNY_Dave replied to CluelessOutback's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXA friend of mine was bit by the pickup difference, I don't think it was a big job to swap.

Breaking rusted damaged frozen bolts free - advice
CNY_Dave replied to milty60's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI've used torches on the caliper area around the bleeders, make sure to bleed out all the cooked brake fluid. Running a drill bit the same size as the bleeder hole all the way down, lightly, will ensure all the crud is out giving the penetrant you spray down the hole it's best shot at working.

Warped rotors, why?
CNY_Dave replied to jseabolt's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXCould it be a rust ridge on the inner our outer edge of the pad swept area? Doesn't take much rust to raise a whole lotta fuss.
