clutch slow to engage
yea fly wheel machined and plenty of free play it engages just takes a little bit it doesnt return as it should, my other cars pop up clutch quick and this one just seams like i would get half the clutch life with it taking a while to engage . Im thinking cable old and sticky in the housing.

clutch slow to engage
so when taking off from a stop or shifting at a high rpm, let clutch out and i can feel it slip for 2 seconds before it grabs if i shift slow with no throttle on it no slip. Is there a spring thats worn out or the clutch cable not releasing or sticking in the housing. Its a new clutch kit. It did have problem with old clutch also. 84 gl wagaon

84 gl wagon backfires
no turbo on this. ea81 i bought a new cat with y pipe and all and it plugged in 200 miles, so i cant afford another 200 bucks for a new cat to have it plug again

84 gl wagon backfires
so when shifting out of any gear it back fires, somtimes wont at lower rpms, and seems like if i shift fast enough it wont do it but the higher the rpms the louder. it started doing this after the catalitic convertor was cleaned out. It doesnt seam to have any leaks from the weld job. What could cause this?

Bubbels in raditor after head gasket
yes this is on the ea81 model i didnt resurface the heads due to no machine shop in 200 miles. i used the fel-pro and only torqued them to about 50 pounds, so i am going to try 65 and see if bubbles go away if not i may fix in spring. Doesnt heat up i pulled a grade 3rd gear floored up to about 9,000 feet and usually befor gaskets i would have to let cool down every couple miles but never even tried to heat up.

03 legacy dash light out
so the the zero-50 side of the speedo lights up but the other does not. So a bulb i guess does the gauges come out towards the stering wheel or do you get to it from the back?

only one electric fan comes on
so my 84 gl ea81 orignally just had one fan, i found the other one at the junk yard. I dont have ac so i plugged it in on the driver side where the plug is. But when it gets to temp just the one fan kicks on. I tested the fan by jumping it and it works just doesnt kick on. Is there any other reason is it because mine doesnt have ac or somthing?
-
when should the electric fans kick on
84 gl ea81 Electric fans dont kick on until 3/4 up the gauge, i would think they kick on just above half to bring them down to half. Mine always seemed to run halfway up the gauge. But is this right are they sopposed to come on that hot?

replacing head gaskets

replacing head gaskets
84 gl wagon, ea81. So head gasket blew did not let coolant get into the oil. So i pulled the motor, took off the heads, and everything looks decent. Not much carbon, piston tight in the bore no grooves. Clutch is shot. Good time for replacement. So i ordered the oem subaru head gaskets. I want some opinons, on if you put the gaskets up dry, or with a gasket sealer.
