I found a 2000 hood with scoops I'd like to get for my plain Impreza L. In the pics, it is not the long station wagon, it looks like the hatchback style. Will it swap? Because the description in the new hoods for sale on the net state "except L" anyone know why? http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/search/?searchType=global&N=0&Ntt=1999+Subaru+Impreza+Hood

The shifter selector light bulb is burned out & since I have things apart for radio, good time to replace. I'm all the way down to the 2 square black panels, around shifter which are loose, but cant raise up because knob is in the way. I took out 2 tiny screws on both sides of shifter knob, but still wont slide up/off. Does the release button on side need to be disconnected? Sorry to ask these questions, but could not find in a search. I hate it when some post have a title like,"help". These make seaches difficult!

So after reading all this thread, I still dont know what year 2.2 will fit into what year 2.5? any limit? Or all 2.2s will fit into all 2.5s? My kid has a good running 99 impreza L (rusted out) and saw a clean 2001 suabaru legacy L with a blown motor. is this a doable easy swap? plug & play? Thanks ahead of time.

Well I hate to pull out old thread, but I also changed out seals without knowing better, or did the passenger side blindly. So after about 5000 miles, front diff started acceleration growl & now its leaking. tiny hole punched out, in bottom, from inside. (drain oil & found tooth). Will back off ring two notches, but I'm sure it's for only buying time for a tranny. Anyone have a good recomendation for junkers in western MD. & maybe labor. Not sure if I want to attempt swapping out trannies.

My daughter came home & told me of a drip, upon cleaning well & checking drain plug, I found a small punched out crack/hole about 4" behind the drain plug and a fin or two towards driver side. What wouild cause this? I did notice approx six months ago a slight whine/growl upon acceleration only. No drip back then & I did check the fluid level & it was clean & full.

Sorry, maybe I should of told you why I was asking. There is a guy that specializes on SVXs, & I was thinking of asking him, if he can or if he is capable, to adjust (preload) my front gear box, in hopes of saving gears. When I first got car (2 years ago) I had to fix a bunch of stuff, & I think I unscrewed the big lock ring to change seal without knowing where it was positioned, from the start, IIRC. Mine is starting to growl up front when throttle applied & silent when coasting or deaccelerating.(gets slightly louder the faster car goes, approx starts above 25mph). So I'm thinking, I may have messed up. oil is still clean, & no metalic sparkling. So it sounds like the boxes are simalar except ratios,

So the goove in metal, goes all the way to the bottom base of winshield & conveys water travel? -
On my 99 impreza L, the two black plastic/hard rubber inserts on roof that run front to back & rain gutter? do these channels that hold plastic, run all the way down beside glass on the pillars? Or do they terminate at top of windshield? Does the plastic strips have a purpose or just cosmetics? Do they pop out, when pried on?

I set to 2000 ohms scale, because I thought reading should be 580ish. oops. maybe if weather warms up a little I could recheck it. & maybe catch the old one at auto parts store to recheck. Thanks again! on edit; took another test ride & runs great & still no CEL. Thank You! Update; went to auto parts store to measure old knock sensor. Read 546k.

Manual set multimeter and yes get reading when leads together. Found my sensor receipt, lifetime replacement!!! Went to Advance auto , & checked new sensor at counter. Same thing, No reading. Counter dude got his meter out & same thing. He gave me new one anyhow. I tripped the check engine light when I started car with sensor unplugged. So I took off neg bat lug while installing new sensor. hooked all back up & CEL still on. let engine get up to normal temp & took for test drive. Pep is back !!! Now to scan for code. But still puzzled on testing knock sensor? On edit; code was 0325, so I cleared it with my scanner & so far it stayed off, time will tell. wander why battery disconnect did not clear it?

I remember polishing block before knock sen install. Well took off & all still looked polished. I checked resistance from wire to metal base on sensor, still NO reading. unplugged little short pigtail from unit & checked male fingers. Still NO reading. Hope the thing is still under warrentee. I'll let you know when I get new one in. (& will check readings before install.)
