  1. Success ! I was able to fish out the nut with a small telescopic magnet. I then bent a small loop on the end of a piece of bailing wire and bent the loop 90 deg to the handle. I wedged the nut into the loop and was able to position it in the proper location and start the bolt. I also went to the dealer and ordered the governor gear and it cost $44. So I am back on the road. Now to schedule the low oil pressure, leaky cam tower, and clacking lifters issue. Jay
  2. The filter had a 3/8 diameter hole in the screen so it needed replaced. I called my local Subaru dealer and the parts gal (after being fairly confused) said the governor is only available as a complete assembly for $191. Does this sound accurate? Does anyone know a source where I can find just the gear? Also what the part # is? Mine is still working but I would like to replace it because it does have quite a bit of wear and has 157,000 miles. Thanks Jay
  3. I am doing a service on my 91 loyale 3at and would like to replace the governor gear. Does anyone know if that part is available from subaru dealers and what the part number is? Thanks Jay
  4. I am changing the filter screen on my 91 Loyale 4wd with 3sp automatic. One of the 3 bolts with 10mm head loosened but would not come out. It just spun like there was a nut on the other end that needed held with a wrench. I took out all the other bolts and was able to remove this last bolt by pulling down on the filter screen while turning the bolt . Now I can't get the bolt to start because I think the nut has shifted and is loose inside the transmission. I don't think this is the stock configuration but was probably a fix to a stripped thread. It looks like I need to take off the plate on the bottom of the trans that the filter screen bolts to and fish out the nut and repair the threads. If I do this does anyone know if a bunch of small parts are going to fly out? The bolt in question is on the drivers side and is the furthest forward of the 10mm head bolts. It is also approx 3/4" longer than the other 2 10mm head bolts.
