I've never done one myself on an EJ22, it should be fairly straight forward, probably 2 hrs of work?

the 2.2 in a NON-interference motor, but yeah I think I will just do the belt for ************s and giggles.

So the belt was done I believe @ 90k the car now has 140k should I do the belt?

what problem are you having, I'm having trouble with my 3EAT in my loyale, hence the reason for it being up for sale, just dont have the time.

check the rear bearings and drums, sound can be deceiving.

Silverhelme are you taking the seal between the tranny and front diff? that would be a pain it the A$$ to fix.

so I pulled th modulator and from the looks of it the fluid is coming from that general area, I just ordered a new 14 bolt pan gasket,modulator, and working on getting a new downshift solenoid from the dealer(the others from rockauto), hopefully they both come with new o-rings:-\ And I also ordered a new vacuum line from the modulator to the rest of the birds nest, so I hope that this will do the trick, otherwise its going to be time to save the cash and do the EJ and 5spd swap.

I really don't think the tranny case is cracked because it only leaks fluid when its running and in gear, but still I wont know until I check, but I did just order the vacuum module and a new pan gasket since I did pull it to see if there was any junk inside, Hopefully I wont have to replace the tranny they cost too much:slobber:

well its definitely your wheel bearings, my buddy has a 00 and it did the same deal, we pulled the hub and low and behold there was play, jack the rear end up and put one hand on the top of the tire and one on the bottom and wiggle it, it you hear any noise or it moves a bit, then yes bearings. Also I do believe that most subies after a certain mileage the heat shield on the exhaust will sort of buzz at a certain RPM, but then again that's just my 97 so far and my buddies 99 OB. Good luck to ya:banana:

really? no one has any info, fooey!

So my 3at is having issues, I was told to check the governor gear thingy, and the flex plate, but this may be a dumb question but could it possibly be the bearings in the diff for the front drive axles?:-\ It clinks when you take off from a start, and requires some rpms for it to even get in gear, reverse takes some rpms then a clunk, there is fluid leaking from some where on the tranny that drips onto the exhaust after the cat. The problem started after my wife accidentally threw it in reverse going about 20 mph, she is used to the 5spd in our 97 Leg Brighton, so I guess I could see why it happened, I'm just hoping that the tranny isn't cracked and or have stripped gears or somthin inside, I'm going to pull it apart on Tuesday to asses the situation, if any one has ideas please HELP:lol: of if I could get anyone to help me out I'd throw in a case of brewski's:banana: Mike, Sandy, Oregon 92 Loyale wagon 4WD 97 Legacy Brighton 4WD Tamiya Imprezza rally car RC Axial Honcho RC Crawler scale

EJ22, basically bullet proof, but tis alot of work my friend, you would basically need to find a donor car,engine,tranny,ECU etc. But probably worth it in the long run.

That sounds and looks really easy to do:banana: I'll try checking the Governor gear this coming Tuesday, but I'm still wondering where the fluid may be leaking from, my guess would possibly be the evaporator on the tranny may be plugged or it could be a seal some where, it didnt do this until my wife drove the car and being used to a 5spd:lol: she accidentally threw it into reverse going 25 mph, so hopefully its nothing that cant be fixed easily.

So my 92 loyale has a 3spt AT, well at a light or stop etc, it will make a clinking sound and rev a few rpms before it starts off, reverse takes some rpms as well then clank its going, its also leaking fluid between the front diff and the tranny, I pulled the tranny pan and nothing perfectly clean no chunks,shavings etc, I was going to sell the car for 450 but I would be talking a massive loss if I did, does anyone have any ideas? maybe a new tranny? rebuild? if I did get a new tranny I dont want to spend over 200, and no more than 250 to do a 5spd swap( would need GD for that one ) :-\

put new timing belts on it,plugs,wires, a little high octane fuel, run it for a while see what happens:)

some times....try replacing the plugs and plug wires...sounds crazy but it has worked on many soobies for me.

nope, somehow it loosened its self out, the threads on the plug were fine like the new one, I put the new one in and it seated just fine, I really think someone who is an rump roast may have done it to it! but who knows could have been my misstake since I had a few when I did the plugs last.

Cleared it:banana: I disconnected the - batt terminal and held down the brake for 40sec and Voila!! sovled gotta love my grandpas old tricks:lol:

edit- The spark plug came out with the plug wire:-\

Ok, well here is what happened, I replaced the spark plugs about a year ago, well lately we have had ALOT of exhaust fumes coming into the cabin via the vents, well I was driving down the road yesterday and all of a sudden BOOM popopopopopopoopo like a briggs and stratton on crack, couldnt do much over 25mph, well first though! exhaust manifold, and timing belt. Nope fortunately I bought new gaskets at RockAuto.com for way cheap and had them in the car, put them on and nope still doing the mower thing, like an idiot I dint check under the hood first, well to my surprise the # 4 plug was completely blown out the wire was just hanging there! So I figured it must have just been slowly loosening for a while. So I went to Napa and got a new plug! done it ran better than it ever has before:banana: But still have the CEL on which my though is it came on due to an OBVIOUS missfire in #4 so hopefully it will cycle its self and turn off otherwise I'll take it in and have it done or hopefully not have to replace anthing else.

So I fixed the issue with my car(dont want to talk about it, my error:mad:) The CEL came on after a real bad situation, well its fixed now how the hell do I get it off without taking it in? I disconnected the - batt terminal for 8hrs and it didnt shut off, this is the first time its ever come on the car has 136k well maintained.

Yeah I'm going to put it up on ramps in the next day or two, hopefully its just a modulator or a tranny cooler line or somethin, otherwise its either a 5spd(for under 400) or to the first buyer

Do all 90 and up EA82 fuel pumps sound like the ones in hi-po chevs and fords? seriously its pretty loud, but all seem to work ok.

so I did the wheel bearings (rreal easy) on my 92 loyale 4wd wagon 3at, well took it out to the road to be sure the bearings are ok and guess what! tranny started clunking when I was at a light high rev then it would engage, got back to my gramps house, I was smelling something burning low and behold looked under the car and saw fluild dripping on the exhaust where the tranny mounts to the diff!!! not a very happy camper! if I dont sell it I will try to drop in a 5spd.:-\ 92 loyale wagon 4wd/3at 148,000 white/blue int 98% rust free rally bar with lights on the front 98% tread on tires Cobra CB/with hood mounted antenna no dents/perfect paint new HGs,Wheel bearings,CV alxes $1,000 cash

so a 97 legacy brighton 2.2 wagon 5spd, No loud sound coming from the exhaust just a lot of fumes in the car when its parked, not rotten egg smell,not syrup, just good ole exhaust fumes. Cant seem to figure it out, no codes, running good, just cant nail it down, it does however have a whistle when you punch it for around 3500rpm-5000rpm so I thought that may be the culprit some leak underneath. All the vaccum lines seem ok, maybe check the EGR or PCV?:-\
