91 Legacy, replace AWD with 2WD tranny?
I wouldn't imagine there would be a difference in the EAT's besides the AWD and non-AWD. Just look at it and see if anything looks different? Same engine? Same bolt locations? Linkage in the same spot??? Give it a try. Check the TCU's and see if they are the same as far as wire harness are concerned. Maybe you can sawp them? If you are trying to go AWD I do believe there are a few more sensors and selenoids to throw in the mix. Correct me if I am wrong.

All wheel to two wheel drive
coloradosubarules replied to dboyw's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXConsidering the torque split in "D" is 90 (front) 10 (rear)...I wouldn't reccomend making it a rear-wheel drive only vehicle. (90-94 legacy I am refering to)

Knock sensor

Stuck oil drain plug
coloradosubarules replied to Huffer's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThose Fumoto valves are pretty cool but I wouldn't reccomend one if you do any kind of off-roading. I have heard people say they use them while off roading and had no problems but I wouldn't want to be the exception.

Manual trans wont come off
Good job. I knew you could do it. All you needed was a little patience....yeah...just a little patience. I've been walking the streets at night, just trying to get it right. It's hard to sleep with so many around, you know I don't like being stuck in the ground. Opps. Sorry. I had a GNR moment.

Silly lift question
I have been looking for a lift for my 90 wagon for a while. I know they are hybrids floating around but they are not cheap and it wil cost you the same amount to ship it as it cost for the actual kit. I paid $1,200 to lift my jeep but the shipping was free. It would have cost me an arm and a leg. Bad enough I paid that much...well I did get 6.5 inches out of it and it was complete.

Knock sensor
I believe the coolant sensor and the knock sensor are completly different.

Anybody know this Brat?
That is one nice looking car. He is going to have to do alot of fender trimming to get those meats on. I hope he didn't pay good money for all those scissor jacks. He could have gotten a hydraulic lift and did away with all those "accidents waiting to happen." I wonder what his lift kit alone weighs????

One man brake fluid bleeder???
I forgot to mention you can burp your cooling system with the mityvac. Not to mention check vacum selenoids, and start syphons really well. There are a million other uses but I can't think of them at the moment. The site has more. Make sure the one you buy is plastic, comes with the fluid cup and all the attachments.

One man brake fluid bleeder???
Speed bleeders are good but can only be used for bleeding your brakes. If you want to go this route then I will reccomend it too. If you decide to get the hand operated vacum pump then I will reccoment this as well. Like I said before it can be used for many, many things...not just bleeding. And besides, you can use it on any vehicle at anytime. Just tell them you are looking for a hand operated vacum pump. If you print out a picture of the mityvac from the website then bring it to them they will get it for you. http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBroker?UseCase=C001&UserAction=performMoreDetail&Parameters=TRUE%7C%7EBLEEDER%2FVACUUM+PUMP+-+TOOL%7C%7ENONE%7C%7EOEM_PURCHASE%7C%7ENONE%7C%7EFALSE%7C%7EFALSE%7C%7E70116%7C%7E1231%7C%7E25136%7C%7EINCLUDES%3A+HAND+OPERATED+VACUUM+PUMP%2C+HOSES%2C+ASSORTED++%0AFITTINGS+AND+INSTRUCTIONS.%7C%7E%2429.99%7C%7ESUBARU%7C%7ELEGACY%7C%7E1990%7C%7ELLT%7C%7E1.25%7C%7EEA%7C%7EB Go to this link and print the page out.

A lift for your 91 legacy....thats a good one!!

Support the engine well. Hit the entire seam of the bellhousing with PB Blaster or something good. Let it sit for an hour..(in the meantime just keep spraying it if you want and used the whole can!) With your jack and 2x4 lift the tranny up and lower it a few times to see if you can get it to crack off. I puled an EJ22 with the tranny and still had a heck of a time getting off on the ground. Try this. Don't heat it! You could do more harm than good. Try to jack it at the rear as to creat a folcrum at the front of the tranny. Let me know what happens. I swear that when I win the lotto I will fly around the country helping people with their roos. Wouldn't that be sweet!!

One man brake fluid bleeder???
Thats odd...I bought mine at autozone. My bad. It's called a mityvac. I feel terrible for telling you the wrong name. I know they sell them at autozone. http://www.mityvac.com there you can get a better description. http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBroker?UseCase=C001&UserAction=performSearch&Parameters=Auto+Store%7C%7EREGULAR+PARTS+LOOK+UP%7C%7EBLEEDER%2FVACUUM+PUMP+-+TOOL I paid less than the website says.

Forester Gets a Major Facelift
coloradosubarules replied to tacode's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIt reminds me of a ford....BLAH!!!

Get the handi-vac. They are about $20.00 but you can use them for a ton of things. You simply slide the wrench over the screw attach the proper fitting to the end of the tube (included), pump the handle a couple times to build pressure and then crack the screw. The vacum sucks the air out very well. Hope this helps.

coloradosubarules replied to Tpasub's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIf I changed my oil every 5K I would be carless. MY oil is shot after about 2000-2500 miles.
