And also tighten up the oil pump screws, these are the reason it is leaking.

Yep my 91 has this great for my ipod

It is probably an issue with the transmission itself, sounds like there is a issue with the hydraulic clutch pack. Autos under normal conditions split the power 90/10 front to rear. So if you tranny is shot you can remove the rear driveshaft and it will work in front wheel drive.

Yep this is correct, I have run 75W90NS in 5 of my 12 subaru's and it has always worked great, here it the chat I had with a redline tech. >Request Type : Technical Request >Message : Hello > >I am trying to figure out what type fluid I should run in my vehicle >manual transmissions.

The NS fluids have no friction modifier so are not to slippery for the synchros the problem with most GL-5 gear oils. The 75W90 would be suitable for the rear differential.

In the Legacy you could get 2.2 phase II until 99 but this was in L models only, and the phase II is interference motors, i.e. break a belt smoke the motor. So last year of the phase I was 96.

I agree, these are great rides, I would love to find one and then do the swap but 5mt turbo boxes are hard to find also. But that combo would be awsome!!

For my 2 cents or maybe 1.5 If you have been keeping a 84 running for these many years, get yourself a 90-94 Legacy wagon with the 2.2. These are very easy to work on and are virtually bullet proof. Then take the balance of the $$ you were going to spend on a car and invest in and watch it grow. You are only 22 years old and if you start investing now you will be shocked how compounding interest will grow your money. Then you can invest in appreciating assets like real-estate rather then depreciating vehciles.

This is why you get a 2nd set of wheels and tires and only put them on when there is snow. Even with AWD dedicated snow tires are awsome. Our Honda with front wheel drive and good snow tires will out handle our subaru with all-seaons in the snow. This is until I put the snows on my roo.

If you made it in a jetta with regular tires, you will be more than fine with the subaru, you will be amazed. When you can afford it throw on some snow tires next year and you will be too confident at times!

Cool thanks for the info on this!

Where is this information from? I have stock 14inchers on my 91 and I have checked my speedo with my navigation system and the speedo is dead on.

Yes but all seasons are a compromise, they are for all weather types but excell at not. Best is to use them for three season and get a set of real snow tires.

This is totally wrong. Even a small tire change can change your speedo by 10mph. Here is a great web page for changes http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp?action=submit

Yea Subaru is not a fragile like many AWD systems, i.e. Volvo, Chrysler, etc. but it is important to have the same psi and same size tires. I run BFG Traction TAs, these are aggressive all season and do great in the snow but no all seasons will compare to a good set of snow tires, or All-Weather tires like Nokian WRs.

Having only 2 snow tires on any car AWD/FWD/RWD ect is a very bad idea. If you put them on the front then your rear will slide out on you, in the rear the front will slide and the rear will push. Get 4 or just run with you all seasons and depending on how good they are see if you need to buy a complete set.

What shop in denver is this? Is this a subaru only shop? If not there are many very good subaru only shops in Denver metro. For $900 most good shops in denver metro will do both cam seals, crank seals, re-seal oil pump, water pump, and timing belt.

But this happens less than 5% of the time, generally if you snap a timing belt you only do valve damage. You can do piston damage but it is very rare.

Love the avitar Manaruis, but it will actually damage the top end, piston hits valves.

Be sure to ask for the old parts, including old gaskets. Keeps them honest.

There are still HG issues with SOHC 2.5 motor, might be fixed in 03+ but jury is still out. My father-in-laws 02 blew the HG at 35k, covered by warrenty.

I did this about 4 months ago and I agree easier with handle out.

They are not swappable, and it is only held in by a spring clip, but you need to remove the two nuts that hold the assembly in place.

Does the key just spin? If so this is a know early legacy think, the tumbler breaks on early models. You need to get the tumbler replaced.

Well I was compairing apples to apples. My other EA81/82 roos have gone into the 200k range with no hg issues at all. Well expect for my GL-10 turbo cars. My brothers 91 loyale he sold to get this car had 230k and had no issues at all. This has left him with quite a bad taste about newer subarus since the car for only 2 months, had the car checked out and had lots of paper work from the previous owner that it had been taken care of.
