  1. Update on this issue. The H6 is loaded up and headed to the repair shop to be fixed after all this time. All OEM parts ordered. Updates will continue.
  2. I have never had an issue with my EA82 overheating. I see that its a common problem.
  3. Yeah, it definitely has the interlok. I suppose I could bypass it, but figured I would ask and see if it was easily fixed without changing anything from stock.
  4. Title says it all. The relay that is controlled off of the brake pedal, doesn't actuate anymore. Therefore I have to press the shift-lock button every time I need to go from Park to drive or reverse, etc etc. Is there a switch that controls that relay that is tied to the brake pedal? Is this a common issue? Thanks in advance for the advice.
  5. So, all this being said, how would I install the clutch pedal? Would it bolt right in/up?

  7. So to be clear, my car is a 1993, Loyale sedan front wheel drive 3 speed auto. I'm going to assume that when you say hydraulic you are meaning it has a modulator valve on the side that works off the intake, which mine does. I am wanting to switch my car from the auto trans to a 5 speed manual, while keeping the front wheel drive. Not looking to make it a 4wd car.
  8. Not looking to make it a 4wd car. Just wondering if it's possible to make it a fwd 5spd.
  9. Is it possible to put a 5spd trans in a front wheel drive car that has the 3 spd auto?
  10. Hey guys, any thoughts on this issue? A bad ground somewhere? A switch? Anything is helpful (my friends car, I might be helping to fix it). Thanks again!
  11. I am going to drain the coolant, replace the thermostat (with an OEM subaru thermo) and replace the cap with a OEM subaru cap, then refill with Subaru coolant and see if I continue to have the problem. If I do, I guess I will have to bite the bullet and get the headgaskets done. *Sigh* and the reason I bought the H6 was to avoid this issue!
  12. I wasn't saying that an additive would fix it. Also my car only has 97,000 miles. I was asking about things that I could do to maybe fix the problem in case it wasn't a head gasket issue.
  13. I have used the search function and while there are tons of material on the DOHC and SOHC 4 bangers, there isn't a lot on the H6 engine. Now for my problem. I drove my 2002 H6 two hours at 60mph+ the other weekend, without stopping. When I arrived at my destination, I smelled coolant very faintly. Popped the hood and had a small bit of seepage from the top of the overflow tank, and the overflow was very full. It never overheated and never gave any sign other than the small amount of seepage. Drove back home later that day and parked it, (I have another car for work). Today I cranked it up and let it run and warm up to see what would happen. While the coolant level had dropped a little , it was still way above the full mark on the overflow. I also noticed an occasional bubble coming from the overflow hose. ( I made sure it was the overflow hose.) I know this usually means a blown (not leaking) head gasket. I also know this is mega uncommon on the h6 and is there anything I can do other than a hg job that might be the problem. I do all my own mechanic work, since that's what I do for a living so money is not an issue. Other than the money for a HG job, which is what I am trying to avoid. If anyone has any ideas, let me know. Also, as a side note. Does the Subaru coolant additive work for blown as well as leaking head gaskets? It seems like it wouldn't. Just wondering. Also, what kind of coolant would be best. I'm not looking to get out cheap so if I have to buy Subaru brand coolant I will. I'm really not wanting to do the head gaskets on this car as I just bought it a month ago( wasn't doing this at the time) and would prefer not to spend $3000 more dollars. The car has 97,000 original miles.
