nipper replied to floridarich's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXGo to an online subaru dealer. Some parts no need to cheap out on.

nipper replied to floridarich's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThey should have been done all at once. I would say no, get a complete kit, brand name. They probably have taken a set by now. ALso if your wires are wet your going to need new wires.

nipper replied to floridarich's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe spark plug bucket seals are leaking. You may as well replace the valve cover gaskets too. Its a common issue. Rubber parts dont care about mileage. They are almost 30 years old.

nipper replied to greenleg88's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXSorry I never saw your response Slipping I asked to get a feel for how long till impending doom, Doing a full flush (3x) nay or may not by you time. The whirring you hear if it matches engine RPM is the front pump. I was hopping slipping in higher gears as that would buy time. Lower gears. However in the words of click and clack GOOD NEWS. You can go and try any shinet can of transmission fix your heart desires now. It cant make things worse, and may buy you time. Just realize that these things always pick the most inopportune time to go belly up.

nipper replied to sirtokesalot's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXAlso do you have any LED bulbs in the circuit

nipper replied to sirtokesalot's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXRefresh my memory please, waht year. I may have found the answer depending upon the year of the car

nipper replied to greenleg88's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXA question I should have asked a while ago, when does it slip?
-
nipper replied to greenleg88's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXDont be freaked out by the metal shavings unless you can confirm its metal and not any chunks. Chunks bad. I still feel its on the road to doom.

nipper replied to MilesTolle's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXKeep in mind its a "duty solenoid" which means it constantly cycles on and off during normal use. People can and do hard wire it with mixed results. Also there is more to the AWD control circuit then just the solenoid. Id the internal housing is worn it can allow pressure to go where its not supposed to and activate the AWD

nipper replied to MilesTolle's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe fuse is only a "switch" it completes a circuit and tells the TCU to open the Duty C solenoid. It doesnt really power anything directly.

nipper replied to Macktech's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXSo your dead set against a vacuume gauge

nipper replied to greenleg88's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThere we go back to a real keyboard. The problem isnt the valve body, its rarely bad on SUbarus. The clutches are damaged hence the slipping. MAYBE you can get lucky or live on borrowed time by changing the fluid, that may help. The sooner the better.

nipper replied to Macktech's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXHence the vacuum gauge

nipper replied to greenleg88's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXSome resistance ? A bad rack usually leaks or fights you in just one direction. Yes TB is torque bind.

nipper replied to sirtokesalot's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI said I was guessing

nipper replied to Stevo F's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXUsed my freind is the answer. Rebuilt and remanufactured used to mean two different things, now it just means fixing what is broken and reselling it
-
nipper replied to sirtokesalot's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe control module looks like a relay under the dash, was to the right of the steering wheel. Google it you should be able to find the exact location. Be nice to it its not a cheap part, and usually after market car stereos make the magic smoke escape.
-
nipper replied to Macktech's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThis would have been my first guess. Get our old but unloved freind the vacuum gauge, 20 bucks it will tell you if the exhaust is clogged. also make sure the intake isnt clogged.
-
nipper replied to sirtokesalot's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIm going to take a truly wild guess on this maybe its the lighting control module? Do the door switches feed t it?
-
nipper replied to Stevo F's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIve had 7 subarus, and never had to change the fuel pump on any of them. I tend to drive them till the doors falloff. Leave it be.
-
nipper replied to Stevo F's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI went through a string of "rebuilt" altenators all bad. I finally gave up and bought a used one and problems were solved.
-
nipper replied to greenleg88's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIm a bit rusty The sports mode issue can be as straight forward as a bad switch. TB I may have guessed wrong (usual disclaimer car isnt in my driveway) but the rubbing noise, upon reflection that can be a bad tranny mount, but that along with the tranny over heating, slippng, atf light flashing, all hints at doom. TB also covers un-torquebind, a failed clutch pack. How does it behave are you ever fighting the steering wheel?

nipper replied to softroader's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXAh yes, pzev gave you special benefits at one time in CA, but it was an extra cost option. And modern subaru could be registered in Cali. Now they all are PZEV
