Cleaned Battery Post Now Lights going Crazy
987687 replied to XCR583's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXDo you have this type of key button Or this type The former will have a really annoying siren, that's probably disconnected on your car. And turning the ignition on and off WILL NOT make the flashing lights stop. The latter will just honk the horn and turning the ignition on and off 5 times will make it stop.

When troubleshooting, start with the simple/obvious stuff! :-)
987687 replied to brycarp's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIt's always the simple stuff that gets you. Sometimes it's too obvious to be a probably cause .... Gotta love easy fixes.

Auto tranny shift lock
987687 replied to 987687's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXOn slow roads I've been leaving it in 3rd, otherwise it's just way annoying. Yes, I do need to do some flushes, it might help the torque bind too. Is it bad for the tranny to shift down through the gears when I'm coming to a stop to engine brake like I do on MTs? I've never had an auto before....

Auto tranny shift lock
987687 replied to 987687's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe TPS is fine, checked it with my scangauge and it operates properly. It's probably working just fine, and I don't like the auto tranny....

Auto tranny shift lock
Is there any way to make the auto tranny stay in gear? It's annoying the crap out of me. Say I'm driving along at 2.5k RPMs and just want to accelerate a little bit. It doesn't need to downshift and rev up like it's going to take off. In a manual I wouldn't downshift just to accelerate a little bit. Why can't it just hold in whatever gear it's in? The tranny shifts and works just fine (how it was designed to work...) I just wish it would work more sensibly. Maybe the only fix is for the weather to hurry up and get warm so I can do a 5mt swap... EDIT: 98 GT

Paint it Black
987687 replied to willdeh2's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXLooks good! I like the center caps being silver on the black wheels. Makes it look like a cop car. haha

987687 replied to efseiler's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIt's good that a flush fixed your power steering issue... Be glad it wasn't a transmission issue.

Transmission swap
987687 replied to SPHepburn's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYou have to swap the diff. Maybe you're thinking about a GL, but with an AWD transmission you can't just pull out the drive shaft!! You'll destroy the transmission. You can't pull axles or anything either. You have two options... Get a transmission that matches the rear diff ,or get a rear diff that matches your new tranny.

987687 replied to 1-3-2-4's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe 96 Legacy and Impreza had cables, and I've seen some 97 cars with, and some without. So it seems 97 was the transition year.

987687 replied to 1-3-2-4's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI wish I had a pic of pulling the engine out of my friend's chevy... We did it at his house and didn't have a garage. I used 4x4s to make a frame type deal over the front of the car all tied together with rope. Hauled that sucker right out.

Seat belt starting to shread
987687 replied to mark786's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI had two belts replaced completely free last year under warranty on different cars. And will probably do it sometime soon on my LGT. It's a great program. I highly suggest it.

Show off your roos Mileage!
Sold my 96 Legacy and bought a broke 98 with 226k miles. After an engine swap it runs pretty nice. Sweet little car.
