yeah I haven't seen skip in awhile, how did the sale of the stable go?

My Legacy has 280k+ on a 2.2 sounds like brand new a dual range with the EJ22? that must have been only available down there... I wonder what shipping on that tranny would be

I'm gonna let my mechanic know, he's a subaru specific mechanic, if I don't take it to a tranny shop

let us know which one of us was right

thanks for all the help guys, I should have pics after I crack open the old tranny, which could be quite awhile

yeah I have a replacement tranny, it'll be in next week, btw I paid $1000 for the car and $200 for the tranny so I have some room left to put into this car nipper, is all of that going to be remedied with the replacement tranny? is all of that located in the new tranny? and would any of those symptoms have anything to do with the rear end? (which I have another of, I just need to know if all will be clear after the new tranny, or if I should expect to switch that out too)

should be in the engine bay, on the passenger side up by the firewall, look for a cylinder or block with a coulp wires going to it and a hose going in and coming out

well I still have torque bind and a noisy first with it not wanting to shift untill warmed up, so I have the other tranny and I'm just gonna swap them, is there anything that sounds like I might need a rear end too? (I have one already, I just hope it's problem free after I do the tranny) oh nd I knew the dash was replaced so the mileage wasn't accurate but I found a registration in the glove box that said it once had 278,000, so I'm glad I'm in with the subaru community 'cause I'm likely going to need some more parts

congrats, may I ask what you paid? I'd do the TB as soon as you can schedual it, it's good to do everything around the same mileage so you know when you replaced it last, it's definalty easier to replace the HG before it goes then after, especially since you don't want to drive it at all afterwards

I haven't ad a chance (been crazy busy) but I'm planning on trying it today after work, I'm also worried about the slipping, that seems to be about the fluid and not the clutch pack, so I should still have that problem with the 2wd fuse in. now if my solenoid is bad I'll still have binding with the fuse in right?

thanks and yes all the tires are the same size and worn the same, I don't know if it's ever been towed

it's definatly binding when turning would the rear extension housing be causing the grinding sound in 1st too? it's only in first

That must have been the guy that had it before heres a couple vids, I did a little work to it just for fun, but it runs good except for a little hesitation, I paid $900 for it (and I just paid $900 for my '98 Legacy wagon ) http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=MachineAgeVictim

yeah it was off haverhill but tires weren't flat when I got it, it did have the spare on because of a slow leak, the guy I bought it from said he bought it from a neighbor, that could have been who was trying to sell it before

sounds good, to remove that will I need to drop the tranny or open the case? I'll be getting one with the new tranny too

I have ramps I can put it up on if it can be drained at an angle, if not I can slide under it without even jacking it so the fluid change could fix the bind, where is the rear extension housing? is it the housing for the rear diff? I already have a rear diff I can put in it too

yeah, I'm right around you, our subaru group gets together for some offroading fun every once in awhile good luck on finding any Gen1s in Florida. there are some gen2s on the other side of florida, keep an eye out in the forsale section on here and post in the wanted section too

I've checked the fluid but havent changed it, it looked brand new (might have been added by the guy I bought it from) it does bind I guess when I'm turning after first starting it, which light would blink? tranny light? if so then no it doesn't is the fluid drain easy to find? I know where the fliter is but I heard it's a pain to do if you don't have a lift. also can the fluid be drained with the car at an angle? thanks for the help guys

I have a Leg with a slipping transmission, when I shift into drive it doesn't want to take off, it spins and doesn't want to go into first, I can put it into drive1 and then it'll go, also only in first there is a bad audible grinding noise, it also clunks when going into 2nd, but shifts fine anything above that my question is, should I not even bother with this transmission and put in the replacement, or is it as simple as a filter/fluid change and I should be good to go?

I need brown or black rear door interior closing handles for both sides, I'll go post this in the wish list

OMG, beautiful!!! I love the GL badge

I need two rear handles for the inside door (to pull them shut) perferably in brown, but black is fine too, it's for a '79 wagon, I'll post a pic of where they go later on

thanks, I will, and I'll go post in the wish list thread

do you have rear interior door handles for a '79?

that's an amazing car, you made a good choice on the tires and the stripe let us know when you enter some shows
