curious, I just pulled a bad 2008 2.5 out of an impreza. Could I use that crank and cam sprocket instead so to keep the 2005 mostly intact.

I hate to ask and answer my own question. Can anyone confirm that I can take my 01 engine and heads and swap intakes and pretty much call it a day other than egr?

I think I can just move the 2001 complete with heads over and install the 2005 intake it appears. I think I need to tap an EGR too.

Can I just transplant a 2001 2.5 outback engine into a 2005 2.5 outback or use 2001 heads on the 2005 block? 2005 has a good block ,but bad heads. 2001 had good heads and block, but needs head gasket job and is a rusting body.

the verdict is in..............bad engine. bummer found another and it will go in next week. Thanks

question, where are the screens exactly. Looking for documentation and can't seem to find it anywhere. I see screens for turbo models.

thanks, waiting anxiously for my mechanic to call me.

correction, this is a 2008 impreza not an 06. Sorry.

I have a p0028 currrent and a p0026 pending with p0301, 303 and 304 misfires. the oil is really dirty and overfilled. I have a new filter, new synthetic oil and new vcs and a new oil pressure switch. We re going to drain the oil and take off old filter, clean the two vcs , swap in the new oil pressure switch, put in the new oil and filter and cross our fingers. Hope it is an easy fix.

It turns out there are two codes, p0026 and p0028. Looks to be dirty oil or a bad valve control solenoid. Hopefully an oil change and some brake clean and a valve control sceen clean out will do the trick.

Just bought a 2008 impreza non-turbo with a stick. Engine died on PO. I am assuming the worst that a timing belt broke. Looking for heads or an engine. I am getting quotes for a vin 8 2.5 as it is a vin 8 2.5. Will a vin 7 2.5 work as well? Any other year engines a direct snap in with my 08 intake?

A used trans is usually not that expensive. IMHO, I would sell the free trans you have and buy the right one for your car. Just saying. that is what I might do.

I do have a 95 wagon that is being parted out. If you need some parts, let me know.

My abs light was intermittently on when I would put the car in reverse. I checked the rear taillights and one of teh bulbs was not correct. After making them the same brand and type. The sensor light is off. Weird, but wanted to share.

when you enter details about your car, it brings up an option to pick the right transmission and you select the one you need.

check to see if the trans is VDC or not. Look at the alphanumeric code on the top of the trans and get the same one to be sure. You can get a used one for less, but that is not a bad price to do the job. use: car-part.com for search in PA.

I think not. use car-part.com to check compatibility. 2001 Subaru Outback (Legacy) Transmission AT, 2.5L, Brighton AT, 2.5L, GT AT, 2.5L, L model AT, 2.5L, Outback AT, 2.5L, SUS AT, 3.0L, vehicle dynamic control AT, 3.0L, w/o vehicle dynamic control MT, GT MT, Outback MT, exc. GT and Outback

I stopped using gates due to the crap components ( especially water pumps) they have shifted to. AISIN are not cheap, but they use all higher quality parts and are a lot cheaper long run than going back in to swap out a leaky or failed pump or ......idler!!!!

use car-part.com to do the interchange compatibility for you.

they are pretty good transmissions. I would buy a used one with a 90 day warranty.

The bars are easy to find. On Ebay they are very available.

I bought a Panlong mini obdII reader on amazon for $10.00 and then I use the torque engine management diagnostic software for android. There is a free version and one for like 2.00. I bought the sw as it was cheap and I felt worth it. Saves you many a trip to the parts store for a scan.

Thanks heartless

Many thanks for that. I was thinking that was probably the answer, but was hoping for an easy fix.
