  1. And vice-versa... us young-uns (me) should listen to the old dudes once in a while, we could actually learn something. So I have to remember this at times... "Old age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill" says one of the guys here at our shop. And the all time favorite- "No good deed goes un-punished". Thanks, T-man
  2. +1 for GD's answers... I think you might have a thrust or alignment issue after the 1st gear/case halves were fixed. Get another tranny. MT
  3. I've notched pipe ends to match the nut on power antennas, filed a groove into the side of it to fit a 12mm wrench to turn it with. This way I don't have a chance of scratching the paint while changing a mast with snap ring pliers to twist the nut.
  4. UM, NO. Subaru, in their infinite wisdom, along with many other manufacturers, have deleted exterior locks on most if not all models of their cars recently. The only lock left is the driver's... none on the passenger door or rear gate. All you get now is the key fob. I am not certain about base models but would suspect that cheaper cars w/o keyless entry would have locks.
  5. '93 Imp 1.8 2WD 5 speed is the "odd one out" here. All others should go nicely together. Either way, it would be a good idea to check the splines before you install...
  6. All TY752VA2AA units I have came from 90-94 Legacys, all 4.11. 93 Imp shows TY752VX3AA 96 Leg shows TY752VABCA... BOTH 4.11. I would figure the earlier cars had the .780 5th g/r from what I have seen. The only records I have show .780 for brighton, L, GT; 871 for OB in 2000. Somebody may have the right manual for your application.
  7. Search,....search,.....search..... the USRM can be your friend http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=76990
  8. After putting H6 brakes on my 98 RS, there is little room for anything between the caliper and the original 16" wheel. I doubt the 15s will work. Twin piston calipers are found on many models. In fact, I retained mine. I just used the brackets for the calipers and swapped the discs. The brackets have a greater height to account for the larger diameter disc.
  9. I'd undo the 14mm bolt on the bottom of the knuckle and pry out the ball joint. It's the least amount of fasteners and work in my opinion. Remove wheel 19mm Remove axle nut 32mm Remove bolt on knuckle @ ball joint 14mm Remove pin @ tranny 3/16 Pry ball joint out of knuckle Pound out axle... Again, stressing the aftermarket axle issue... spend the extra $$ for a Subaru or MWE axle. I can't tell you how often a tire shop up the road puts 'em in (aftermarket) and we take 'em out...
  10. My personal vehicle only leaked while being "used". As in holding the vehicle. I simply disconnected the cable and it is still there to this day, not leaking. You can rebuild them. I have not, but I am sure someone here has and could point the way for you.
  11. Look for two cables on your throw-out fork. The one on top loops back around under the master cylinder to the hill holder valve. Hard lines connect the M/C to the H/H valve. It should be equipped, unless previous owners removed it or disconnected it. http://www.mttechsuba.com/photos/19851994_loyale/ea82-parts-028.html This view is of the driver's side of the valve, note two mounting holes on bracket, they mount onto frame rail. Yours might look a bit different as this is from a later model.
  12. Check for AC voltage... If its too high that is not good. (0.5 or higher) Also try to check the alternator when the car is acting up, Alt. output may be intermittent. If light in bash for the battery is burned out, alternator will not charge.
  13. Alternator bad. Replace with a "good" unit... Such as a dealer reman or a Delphi. Bosch had a bad run some time ago, I don't use 'em now, as they failed way to often. If you get the Shuck's or Autozone lifetime warranty part, know that you will be changing it every six months for a lifetime. Just my $.02...
  14. Stupid thing leaks when hooked up and being used. = Disconnected.
  15. I would check to make sure there is no water in the spark plug holes. If there is, get the engine up to running temp, remove the wires and blow out the holes and wire ends with compressed air, let stand for a few minutes for the remaining to evaporate, re-assemble. If you can run the car in a dark environment, it is very easy to check for fouled wires and or coil by seeing the spark escape...
