You stopped at the noise? The timing belt may have jumped. You (hopefully) shouldnt have opened the valves far enough for them to make contact with each other.

How many miles?

Will the car be pushed when the clutch is held in? it can be rusted breaks (was it parked with the parking brake on?) The car may not really be in neutral (worn linkage)

Yes. If it fights you then its locked up.

I use 5K for oil changes (easy math) and every other oil change for a drain and fill of the tranny fluid. Also check oil level once a week. I assumed he changed the oil per schedule.

They come up on ebay and other suppy sites from timet o tim. I have an 89 got one for 20 bucks ill see if i kept the old one.

Look in the owners manual and see what it says to service. The trottle thing just makes cash for the dealer. Normal conditions is one person no towing no temp extreems. it never hurts to replace a lubricant, its up to you. Some cars never have them changed.Inspect the fluid if it looks tired, replace. Subarus are AWD but brakes do wear differntly then 2wd cars. The other possability is that your fronts arent working as well as you think they are.

Dont DONT go to AAMCO, just dont. Dont. Try the parking lot test. Make sure all the tires match and are properly filled. Find a level parking lot (with the car warned up). Go forward in a tight circle. No throttle. Will the car do it or does it fight you. This is one of the few times I would suggest find a dealer if your not going to fix it yourself. Never ever go to AAmco. Never.

I have Altimax now now, and they just didnt seem to last.

Are they run falts? I didnt notice, I dont like those.

The Pirellis come up in a google search, and they seem affordable

Ok since gas is down im going to go upscale, thoughts on Pirelli Cinturato P7 tires?

I want to decide quickly, budget about a 110 a tire. Good snow properties all season. What you guys driving with good life and low road noise. nipper

With winter finally getting here, this project will be put off till march and hopefully i feel better. I hope i dont have to sell it.

I shall do that.

I find that Dsport makes it much more driveable in the snow. Drive I just sit and spin tires. Not that spinning tires is bad...

Its a quiet car except fr accelerating. i was thinking floor in front at firewall, doors, and trunk area. I only here the whine when stopped, and thats more brushes i think then belt.

Are you saying its too much for the anger or the Justy's 73 HP. I would love to do donuts with the Justy, but road salt and Justys dont mix.

For those of us on the East Coast

Merry Christmas. Did you know a 5' tall tree wont fit in a Justy?

Yes, its a tiny car so i can afford to splurge

advice?

Before i get the Justy painted ill shoot some pics with measurements for you. The holy grail of stickers Justy DL CVT ill take educated guesses on.

Is there an email for him?

Wasnt someone making or reproducing decals for subarus?
