1993 Legacy

Hi all, I have purchased the following: Dextron III for Automatic gearbox - 10 liters - says I need 8.3 liters for gearbox and 0.7 liters for power steering API GL-5 - 2 liters - says I need 1.2 for front and 0.8 liters for back differential Is this correct? How much Brake fluid will I need for the flush and change of brake fluid? Which sould I get Dot 3, Dot 4 or some other and which one would be best according to you? What should I clean the automatic gearbox filter (the one located inside the gearbox) with? Is there any procedure for power steering fluid flush and fluid change? I could not find anything specific. Thank you all in advance for your answers. Best regards Dusan P.S. They have never heard of pressure bleeders in shops around here.

Hi, Thanks. Does anyone know the exact part number for the whole automatic transmission filter kit for 1993/1994 automatic legacies and also the part number just for the filter, which, I presume, should be changed together with the ATF. Thanks in advance. Best regards Dusan

Hi, I have read about this AT trans filter kit which is apparently installed as a recall item or something. Where exactly is it? I have a 1993/1994 AT 4wd 2.2 station wagon and I'd like to check whether this thing has been installed or not. My car has approx 60,000 miles on the clock and I am getting ready to change all the fluids in the car, etc. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and best regards Dusan

Hello to all, I am getting ready to change all the fluids on my 1993 AWD legacy 2.2 station wagon. I have studied both manuals that i got (Chilton's and Haynes) and one of them mentions some fluid filter in the automatic gearbox which requires the removal of the bottom pan to clean. Is this necessary, adviseable or is something I shouldn't bother with at this moment. The car has a total of 97,000 km on the clock (approx 60,000 miles) from new. I have also read about air getting stuck in the cooling system and creating hot spots. Is there a valve somewhere on the block or elsewhere to release the trapped air? Any suggestions as to the best possible procedure for changing brake fluid and avoiding having air trapped in the system? I know these are a couple of questions but your answers will really be appreciated. Any pointers as to write-ups about the topic anywhere on the net would also be welcome. Thanks to all in advance. I am new to subies and plan to hold onto this car for quite a few years to come. Best regards Dusan

Hey Josh, Thanks for the info. I couldnćt quite find it anywhere for certain. Just another thing to put on my to-do list. Best regards Dusan

Hi, Just a quick related question. How often do you change your timing belts? I cannot seem to find the info anywhere. I have a 1993/94 legacy AWD automatic station wagon with cca. 75,000 km on the clock from new. Thanks for your info. Best regards Dusan

Hi, Can anyone out there help me with a list of possible donor cars for rims for my 1993/1994 2.2 AWD automatic stationwagon? there are not many subarus around here and I was going to try to get some alloys for my car. I have a set of steel rims on at the moment (for the winter). I have read something about peugeot 505s etc. Is this true? Thanks in advance. best regards Dusan

Hi, I am sorry if I am actually leading this thread in another direction but is the regular draining of the brake system (complete brake fluid change) a straightforward job or is there some catch. I've done it on other cars but never on a Subaru. I have a 1993 2.2 automatic Legacy station wagon. Is getting air out of the system a problem and what is the procedure? Thanks for all your input. Rgds Dusan P.S. I hope I have not hijacked the thread as it does have to do with brake fluid change.

Hi Matt, Which of these would fit a 93/94 legacy awd automatic stationwagon? I do not have the chassis number on me at the moment but my car doesn't have cruise. what else would I need? H7010AC000 Cruise Control Kit Legacy ‘95 $70.00 H7010GA110 Cruise Control Kit - Air Bag Vehicle Legacy '92 L+, '93-'94 L $39.00 Thanks a lot. Send me an email to: dulecuba@yahoo.com Rgds Dusan

Hi and thanks to all. Cougar, which subaru site would that be? I do preffer printouts. I am a bit older than 18 and used to paper workshop manuals I can take down to the car with me. It's not really practical having a laptop in the garage while you are lying underneath the car, no? ) Thanks and best regards Dusan

Hello to everyone! I have just joined and this is actually my first post on this board. I just got myself a 1993 Legacy 4WD/automatic station wagon with air suspension and was wondering whether anyone could suggest a good source for a serious factory style workshop manual for this particular model. I live in an area not known for good mechanics so I will have to do all the maintenance myself. So... All pointers greatly appreciated. On-line spare parts shops (possibly in Europe) would be great as well. Thanks and best regards from Eastern Europe Dusan
