well ill try and remember to take a video of it tomarrow....but i still dont believe that this is a "problem".... alrighty here we go i just got a pic of it....

well....yes the RPM ranges are the same from this trans and the old one.....i believe im getting pretty good gas mileage (about 24 mpg average)......everything about the 2 trans seemed identical....all i know is that it came out of another 96 legacy 2.2 and it bolted right up no problem.....

yeah i do....i have 17 inch ASA rims on 205/45/17........i think stock is 14 inch steeles with 185/?/14........so what is this telling me.....is my engine RPM still correct....i went by a speed sensor for the cops the other day and i regestered perfectly.....25 in a 25...... its been fine for me and all my tests check out so as far as i know and everyone else who drives my car knows its normal......

yup just checked on the drive home....at 60 in 5th im at 1600-1800 RPM and at 80 mph im at 3000 RPM...also again checked my tac...little weird because its a DVOM and its a wastespark system....so you just divide by 2..and it matched my in car tach......

i did put another trans in it about 3k ago but it was a used direct replacement......tach works perfect....even hooked up an external tach for a little while and they showed the same reading....i will give it another try on my way home....it was pretty early in the morning...

i would try another fluid change or 2 and add some kind of additive...i have read numerous posts here about people who have had problems with there automatic transmission and the problem has been solved with a little additive and fluid change.....though i think the "Additive" is designed to swell the seals....check out the related threads at the bottom of the page.....

yup.....checked it on a few different roads...and how i got up to speed.....at 60 mph in 5th gear... im crusing at 1600 RPM...than at 80 mph...im at like 3500-3800 RPM

on my ride to school this morning i kept your Question in mind.....in my 96' legacy ej22 in 5th gear at 60 mph....im crusing at about 1600 RPM.....

my buddy has a 98...looks the exact same....i love the way they look......

id buy one.....ill take a 5 spd. turbo...

tensioner possibly....as well as any oil leaks you have....cam seals,crank seal, oil pump..etc.....

haha thanks man....

just had a quick question.....was the 93' impreza ej18 ever offered in an 8 valve model?.... just another quick question....my boss bought a 98 legacy outback limited and long story short he had to get another engine but used the same intake manifold.....was this model ever offered with a 2.2?.....it looks as though he has a 2.2 intake manifold on a JDM 2.5? how im noticing this is that his idle air control is not integrated in the throttle body.....he has the same IAC as i have on my ej22......was the USDM 2.5 ever offered with an IAC not integrated into the throttle body? he has it all straightened out but i was just wondering....a little knowledge never hurt anybody..... thanks for your time.....

:lol:

i was reading a post a while ago....is that thing really called a "virgin" switch?

check the little switch on top of the steering column......

ive never heard of them but they kind of sound like a generic "value" brand.......

it all depends what code it is....i believe the knock sensor is a 2 trip code so if the problem happens on 2 consecutive drive cycles than the CEL will pop on.....i could be wrong on that though.......when the CEL was on for the knock sensor did you feel like a lack of power or anything?

take a look at this..... i believe there is a volvo or 2 in there.....

i saw that concept a few months back i think they had it in Subiesport or something....out off all the concepts i see i think that is one that looks the coolest....

on this topic....i accidently overcharged my system in my 96 lego last week (thanks to a bad machine).....the air never even got slightly cold....recovered it again, pulled a vacuum, and charged her up and now she works great..... (i believe the ROT on the low side is 24-45 psi and high side is 100+ambient temp.)

NICE!... Love the Crank Pulley...

alignment?.....when it comes to ball joints....there not that difficult....a few bolts, nut, and cotter pin....and lots of pounding....

i would make sure it is the correct fuse first.....look on the cover to confirm......i have seen instances where "bob" at the local garage didnt have a 15 amp fuse and just stuck a 7.5 in there.......
