[Getting my 2001 outback more adventure ready]

Forester stuff won't get you much, if any.

 

 

I believe the accepted combination is 6-cyl front springs (assuming yours is a 4-cyl), and Baja rear for something like an inch and a half.

 

 

SJR makes a block lift kit for them, too.

thanks. would it be more worth it to just use a lift kit instead of doing the swap with the struts?

[Getting my 2001 outback more adventure ready]

I have a 2001 outback that i want to get more clearance on. i hear you can swap in forester struts from newer years that will give you about an extra inch or so and then add star spacers to get it higher. i just can't seem to find any information on it. 

 

is this the easiest way to get more clearance?

 

I'm driving to mainland mexico from washington state this summer and want to get my rig more adventure ready.

 

i want to get different bumpers as well.

any help would be killer!

 

thanks

[4x4 not engaging]

92 loyale and my 4x4x won;t engage when it press the button. recently i replaced the clutch and right after that it stopped working... thought on if that caused it to stop working?
thanks!

Thanks for all the input!

I ended up dropping the transmission and putting it on a dolly and sliding it out and replacing the clutch.

Almost done putting everything back into place.

The videos detail removing the engine first(if you want to reseal it) and swapping an automatic to a 5spd (which illustrates the clutch installation)

Thanks this really helps! Im having trouble removing  the transaxle... whats the best way to proceed?

[Replacing Clutch on 1992 Loyale]

Yes im looking for like some pictures or information on the smoothest way to do the procedure  Right now i am preparing to unbolt the transmission. any ideas on the best way to handle this?

 

Also do you have to replace the transmission gasket after?

 

Thanks for the help!
