  1. Model year 1999 started in ..... nah too easy There are no more seasons to autsales like there used to be. I think subaru starts in january. www.cars101.com for the dual sunroofs. (it wasnt till after the 2000 body i think, maybe 2003?) nipper
  2. 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
  3. It's a joke, my sick twisted sick dirty mind at work. nipper
  4. 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
  5. I missed that. The pilot bearing may have siezed and tore the clutch disc apart. Always replace the pilot bearing when doing a clutch. nipper
  6. OK look at the TPS, it is really waht determins when the transmission shifts. If its not putting out the proper signal, the tranny wont know what to do. nipper
  7. 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
  8. Check the fuses. There is an illumination relay that has a fuse that feeds it under the hood (I think). Nothing wrong with the HL switch, as it is low power that sends a signal to relays. nipper
  9. Well as of today, Toyo has no intrest in absorbing Sooby. They needed the added capacity to build camrys, and Subaru had extra capacity. Subaru also picks up Toyo technical expertise. This is why you may shortly see a subaru hybrid. nipper
  10. https://www.1stsubaruparts.com/ im sure others will ones they prefer, i just like them. https://www.subarugenuineparts.com/oe_parts_cat.html I havent used these guys yet www.subarupartsforyou.com
  11. I didnt even need the 4 digit code, just the VIN when i went to the dealer (i lost my key). nipper
  12. 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
  13. Call the people you bought the disc from, they may want to know about this. I could tell more If i could see the rivets that held it togehter. May just be a mfg defect. Its unusual to see them seperate like that, usually its the clutch material that goes south when it explodes. nipper
  14. Start at the simplest thing, the sockets for the tail light bulbs. nipper
  15. http://endwrench.com/main.php?smPID=PHP::search_articles_action.php& It can be a broken strut, the universal joint in the steering shaft, a loose rack, and the brakes as mentioned above. nipper
  16. http://www.boxxet.com/Toyota_Motor_Corporation/Next_Celica_to_be_built_by_Subaru.1ir6ay.d nipper
  17. I am not a fan of Jensen but http://www.amazon.com/Dual-MXD55-AM-Weather-Receiver/dp/B0009SXWIU http://www.audioallies.com/getcat.asp?Class=Marine+Audio&cat=CD+Receivers nipper
  18. 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
  19. I vote for dropping it too. Make sure the ground can support a hoist. It sucks to get the engine and tranny out and then you cant move it (been there done that). Do they have a fork truck? Slip the operator a little cash and after you have everything disconnected he may do you the favor. nipper
