Smell is too tight...squell is too loose. Sweet tips

I have a 90 legacy wagon with auto tranny AWD with 239K on it. From time to time when I pul it in the driveway (kinda slopes) , put it in park and turn tun the key off it has a tendency to slide forward a bit. Not when I put it in park...only after I kill the engine. My foot is not on the brake when I turn the car off. What gives? Is it a sign of my failing 4EAT at joe's?

Automatic or stick?

Will I be able to retain my driveshaft? Is the firewall pre-drilled for the new peddle assembly? Do I have a choice of cable or hydraulic? Got any pictures? How hard is it to get the flywheel off? I tired on an engine I pulled and couldn't get that thing off for the life of me.

I have never owned an SVX but my reccomendation would be to heat the S**T out of the lense with a hair dryer or heat gun untill the misture is gone. If there is a bulb remove it so the moisture can have someplace to go. If there is no bulb you are going to want to try to find where the moisture is getting in from.

I would always reccomend using an aftermarket wiring harness. If your OEM harness is hacked I would reccomend going to a salvage yard and picking up one and splicing it in and then going to your local stereo shop or best buy and buying the matching harness. It makes it all simple.

How bore'ing...LOL. I wonder if it hasbeen done?

The 90 legacy's auto is slipping a little and I am considering doing the 5MT swap but I would like to know what is involved before hunting down the parts. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I wouldn't be doing the conversion untill sometime next year so I have plenty of time to find the parts and get it all plannned out.

I have 239K on my 4EAT (auto) and it is just now starting to slip. Please understand that I take mine off-road and used to pull cars behind it on a dolly in the hills of Colorado. It has served me well. If you decide on a 90-94 legacy try to get one with low mikes. (around 100-150K) Yes this is low miles to these cars. Be sure the engine was kept up well as Subaru reccomends that the timing belt be changed every 60K regardless of weither it needs it or not. It's not a bad investment. I have heard of alot of people doing the 5MT (manual) conversion once the auto tranny goes but I am not sure what is involved.

Like it says on the sign.."Slower traffic keep right." It's not my fault your GL or brat can't keep up....LOL!!!

90-94 legacy....it's what I drive. I guess I am partial.

I had my 90 legacy doing 100mph on the highway today and it feels pretty darn tight. I have taken this car off-road and beaten the crap out of it and still no shimmy or knocks. If you feel it could be hazardous then I would highly reccomend taking it to a goooood mechanic or suspension speacialist and find out what is wrong. Then you can take it home and replace it. This way you get a straight answer and save some money. (sorta) Something could be broken and it could be dangerous to you and everyone on the road.

Thanks Josh for the info. I think I am going to just replace the throttle. Maybe someone makes a bigger throttle body???? Anybody have any suggestions as to where I can find a bigger throttle body? Perhaps the WRX has a biggger one? Hmmmm...

If you do not have to worry about emissions then just bypass it with a pipe from www.rallitek.com (something like that)

I look forward to seeing you all there. Hopefully my legacy will still be running at that time and can make the trip..LOL. I trust my legacy to get me to hell and back.

All the above plus your switch for the EB might be sticking....

I would start by checking for fuel and spark. Go from there.

I think I am going to drive it untill I need a tow truck. Then I will buy a used one in great condition and install it myself. So what year auto AWD trannys will work with my 90 EJ22?

Was that remark aimed towards me or everyone in general? It is true though. Just dissconect your horn.

Ok ok...someone told me otherwise on the board. I can only repeat what I was told.

I wouldn't pay someone for something I could do myself. Just to clear it things up..I never overheated my tranny. Never. Even when towing a trailer.

A TOW TRUCK DRIVER INSTALLED THE FUSE??? OMG!! COULD IT BE??? I'm impressed. Someone should shake that mans hand and buy him a cold one for saving a transmission.

NGK V-power Copper. Alot of people on the board use them and reccomend them. Granted platinum is better but doesn't last as long as the coppers. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the tip. I try to find a legy with low miles so I can pull the TB..maybe I will take the entire engine and tranny. My tranny is sucking... Thanks guys. I knew I could count on you. See you in Jan.

I know what the code was for... Car idles a tad rough but when it warms up it is fine. Should I replace it or skip it? Is there anything besides the O2 sensor that would make it run rich? Still kinda stinky.
