The 1996 FSM : 1) drive out ball bearing from flywheel 2) Press bearing into flywheel untill bearing end surface is flush with clutch disc contatc surface of flywheel (flywheel face - nipper). Do not press inner race. Special tool needed - 899754112 Snap Ring Press. Maybe it wasnt all the way in? And yes things wil fail in that manner. nipper

It's a joke, my sick twisted sick dirty mind at work. nipper

Inspect the flywheel, it may be the hole for the pilot bearing is too big. Check the pay at the input shaft of the transmission. Something is going on. I think we found the cause of why the disc ripped apart, now the question is why. The disc can not tolerate any forces in the x or y direction, only in the Z direction. The disc got torn apart, it didnt fail on its own. nipper

Stupid ? about Radiator/Overfill Tank
nipper replied to cole098's topic in Non Soob Cars and Bikes Discussion
The overflow is part of a closed loop system. As the fluid heats up and expands, it goes in the overflow tank. As the fluid cools off, it gets sucked back in the radiator. With a leak you no longer have a sealed system. I would put the entire container in the radiator. You have to use the entire bottle for it to work to get the mixture right. Remove some coolant from the radiatro if you have to make room for the bottle. nipper -
the upshift is right, they tend to do that untill you move the gas pedal. i usally back a hair of the pedal, and it will upshift. The tranny is looking at the throttle position to determin if it is still going up hill. It expects you to bakc off the gas once the ground gets level, then it will upshift. Try taking your foot off the gas pedal, or backing off, and it will upshift. A tuneup never hurts. Its not the that car is weak, its the way that it is geared. Try what i suggested and tell us what happens. it sounds just like Blu, which is normal. nipper

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_EJ_engine "The SOHC EJ Subaru boxer engines were non-interference engines through 1996, run by a single timing belt driving both cams (both sides of the engine) and the water pump. Because they are non-interference engines, if the timing belt fails, the engine of the models up to 1996 will not be destroyed. The oil pump is driven directly from the crank shaft and the waterpump by the timing belt. All DOHC and 1997-up SOHC EJ engines are interference engines, if the timing belt fails the engine will likely be destroyed or the valves & piston will be heavily damaged." (thats a very well written peice so it had to be subaru or a subaru insider). Its almost impossible to find a non interfernce engine these days that puts out any decent power on any brand. nipper
