if your taking the engine out, do the separator plate. if the engine has been sitting for a while, do the rear main seal.

<<while you're at it find another shop,that is ridiculous>> +1 here. who did the work and how much did it cost?

<<so for everything including hoses,coolant,oil, oil and air filter,pcv valve and said about gaskets and seals...It was $312.58.>> there you go. if you were to buy subaru parts that bill would have been around $500, then like grossgary stated, have a shop check/trim the heads so the problem doesn's come back. $150+ i'm not exactly sure the flat rate is like 6 total for both sides add 2 more for the seals, thats 8. multiply that by labor rate $65hr (which is cheap) $520 thats where you get the $1000 + did you replace the rear separator plate also?

have you taken the manifold off lately?

<<One of my questions for the Legacy swap, is the wiring for the clutch switches and manual transmission in place but not used?>> the clutch switch connector is there. you will have to find the correct pins on the a/t connectors that were unplugged under the hood and connect them to the manual tranny. <<What about the cruise control computer??>> not sure about that.

filter:

its pretty straight forward. do you have the donor manual car? that helps alot. i have done that same swap to the following vehicles: 1. 1992 svx 2. 1991 legacy turbo 3. 1995 subaru impreza 4. 1997 legacy gt make sure you don't cut any of the trans wires in the engine compartment- use donor ones that can still plug in and cut off about 4 inch from where they plug in. let me know if you run into any problems.

I have a few brand new ones that I bought from a Suabru dealer a few years back. These are the stock OEM ones that were part of the campaign in the early 1990's. They are $15 shipped to the 48 USA states. P.M. me if your interested. I'll post a pic on Friday night of them.

were you in the car on the test drive?

what do you need to do that you can't do in a driveway? or do you not have a driveway to work on?

when i put a 5 speed into my SVX, i had to have one made at a driveshaft specialty shop. they put in servicable u joints in and made the shaft that i supplied to the correct length. i think it came out to $250-$300

that might work when you need to replace a small amount of coolant but that method won't work when some people mistakenly take out the radiator when doing a timing belt job. when there is no coolant in the engine block, you must fill through the engine block first, then fill the radiator. i have posted on this many times before.

<<Anything missing?>> <<I have a 98 outback wagon that on occasion the temp gauge will rise to hot >> well, being that have let it get to the "H" more than once, have the heads checked for warpage.

which year/car did you drive?

<<Is that pully wrench for the 2.2 or the 2.5 or they may be the same? Where do you buy that wrench at.>> the gold colored tool was used to disassemble/assemble the following engines at my shop: 1.8 2.2/all, 2.5/SOHC, 3.3 i ordered it about 10 years ago from some dealer tool suplier.

<<The local subaru dealer, and SubaruParts.com, both want me to replace my flywheel with the clutch. (2001 outback)>> how much does your dealer want to charge you?

you need a set of these:

nope, thats an open diff. this is what a LSD looks like:

<<hahaha, you aren't allowed by law to pump your own gas? oh, Oregon sorry...>> yeah, NJ and Oregon are the only two states that have that law i believe. how much are people paying a for a gallon of gas this week?

<<By Help....will it make more power?>> not without the turbo

<<Will a '91 Legacy Turbo intake help (fit?) my '90 Legacy EJ22?>> it will fit on, but help? not sure what you need nelped? in the ad it says it will fit EJ25 heads, which it will not.

+1

the 5EAT uses synthetic ATF

<<The temp gauge does spike while idling, too.>> why do people let this happen?
