I have a 2000 forester with a 5MT. I am pretty sure the center diff is bad. It has the right symptoms, once it is warmed up it will clunk when I turn hard at slow speeds. I am wondering how much does a fried center diff effect the whole AWD system? As far as I can tell the AWD is working, but I don't know how much it is working. thanks -Lance

Hello, I am doing my headgaskets on my 99 outback. I had both the head and the headgaskets torques down, and had to take them both off again (don't ask:mad:). Some one was telling me that the headgaskets are not any good if they have already been compressed. So, basically they are saying I need new ones because they have been compressed, is that true? any help is very appreciated. thanks -Lance

has anyone out there made removable doors? I have been thinking about it, making the doors removable somewhat like that ones on a jeep. Here is what I was thinking. Please put me in my place, and tell my I am being ridiculous if this sounds too far fetched. I have a 2000 Forester, and I was thinking of removing the door hinges, drilling out the hinge and replacing it with a lock pin like this Then cut the wires and use wire connectors like this does this sound too far fetched? thanks -Lance

I have a 2000 forester with a 5MT and to my knowledge I have the viscous diff. I am pretty sure the center diff is bad. It has the right symptoms, once it is warmed up it will clunk when I turn hard at slow speeds. I am wondering how much does a fried center diff effect the whole AWD system?

I don't care if it is a subaru or a honda, no car should be put through that torture. What a shame. -Lance
