idk if this helps but i replaced a clutch in my buddies legacy with a 2.2 swap after his girlie toasted the clutch. i replaced everything but the flywheel it looked good so i just cleaned the surface with some emery cloth and its been running perfectly fine since

alright thanks alot

thanks to some of you guys i was able to successfully figure out the tranny fluid leak from replacing the head gaskets last weekend in my pops 97 obw. didnt have the torque converter seated all the way thanks to my lack of knowledge with subarus. didnt toast the fluid pump and everything seems fine but i ran into a starter issue. i turn the key and it clicks like it engages but doesnt spin to start the car. if i turn the key a couple of times it eventually cranks over. im saying replace the starter but i figured i would ask to make sure there isnt anything im doing wrong. all connections and wires are good and i replaced it just like i took it off and tried tappin on it with a hammer. any advice? thanks

well like i said im new to subarus and i wish i knew about that access port before hand lol but its a 97 obw and the tranny seems to be shifting fine and everything so i think the pump is ok for now but from your guys input im deff gonna have to replace the seal and pray that i get the pumped lined up. so ima gonna hit that with a full head of steam and pray for the best thanks for all the answer i really appreciate and ill let u know everything works out... -matt

ok well there is a small but stead stream of tranny fluid coming out of the bottom of the trans so im assuming i tore the seal...so im probably going to take the tranny out this time. but where is the seal located i didnt see a seal when i had it out. and how can i unbolt the TC from the engine unless its apart?

is a aftermarket therostat going to have an affect with the overheating?? cuz pops just picked one up from A&A and thats what i put in

i left the torque converter bolted to the block. im gonna tear into it again this morning so any more ideas would be helpful and ill post if i find anything

thanks alot for the input guys. so i guess i made the mistake of filling up the diff with atf...more work for me. i jacked it up and ran it again and it seems to be leaking from the bottom of the tranny where it meets the block or somewhere in that general area. i did not remove the tranny or mess with it just unbolted and bolted the block. any sort of lines running there that i could have damaged? or any ideas of what i might have done?

oh forgot it is only running hot under a load. sat at idle for about 20 min and was fine needle was right where it should be. after about 100 yards on the road is started to sky rocket.

hey everyone im new to working on subarus and have a situation i need resolved asap so any helpful input would be appreciated. yesterday i pulled my dads 2.5 out of his obw and put in new head gaskets, valve cover gaskets, plugs, wires, water pump, rad hoses, and tb gasket. put the engine back in last night and fired her up this morning. its running hot but the rad is full along with the reservoir. and the tranny is pissing fluid from the pass side where the small dipstick is. and on the driver side dipstick for the tranny shows nothing when its running and when its shut off it reads full on the cold scale. im not a mechanic i work in a body shop and this has got me confused as all hell so if anyone could lead me in a step in the right direction i would greatly appreciate it. thanks.
