  1. I've finally decided to do something about my speedometer that has been working intermittently for the last several months. Recently had a Subaru shop check out the electronic components and they indicated that a speed signal is being sent to the speedometer, but is not registering on the instument panel. They recommended replacing the cluster. I got an instrument cluster from the junkyard, but now I need some pointers on how to transplant the original odometer to the replacement instument cluster (so that I don't have to flag the the odometer reading). I've already disassembled the original instrument cluster and removed the speedometer gauge, but there doesn't seem to be an easy way to separate the odometer from the speedometer needle and faceplate. Any help?
  2. I've recently experienced this "clunking" noise when making sharp right turns at low to medium speeds. I recently had my tranny rebuilt (99 Legacy 4EAT with 90,000 miles) and never noticed the clunking until after the rebuild. If I'm making a steady and winding right turn, I hear a continuous clunking/thumping sound. After I straighten the wheel, no clunking. Doesn't make this noise any other time. Sounds like the noise is coming from the back of the car. Could the culprit be tranny mounts or rear differential?
  3. I've had the exact same speedo problem for a few months now. Just like the others, the speedo works intermittently, but if its not functioning -- turning on the windshield wipers and/or tapping the windshield wiper button seems to make the speedo start working again. Any new ideas on this subject or permanent corrective measures?
