Sealed bearings pressed into place. If you remove them, plan on putting in new. If they don't growl and the wheel is tight leave them alone... pretend that you inspected them.

Bill I had them ... hit a deer and the replacement attaches differently. I 'm thinking I saved those clips.... I'll look around the shop but no promises. It's kind of a mess out there.

Well to start , pulling the motor is easier than pulling the tranny. Leave the rear main alone unless it's leaking. reseal the oil separator & change out the o ring behind the diamond shaped plate on the other side of the crankshaft. Be sure to use an impact screwdriver to loosen the screws or they will strip . Nothing to the hill holder system loosen it up while you adjust your clutch then screw it back down till it just starts to move. Exedy is the prefered clutch and will come in a kit with all the other pieces you mentioned including an alignment tool . It will not come with the t.b. clips but i've always just reused them. Have them just clean up the flywheel don't let them take off much.

Cleaning the maf on this problem doesn't seem to help. Change it out with a loaner maf and try running it.

Give one of the jap engine places a call, they sell trannys also. I just got & installed one for a 99 forester. my cost before shipping was $535. one year guarantee! Although they won't pay labor on that . The tranny they sold me was originally from a 2.0, they included a new flex plate to match, and a can of pressurized flush to clean the lines and cooler . It installed perfectly and worked great. The engine import places are very good at what fits what and are more than happy to explain it, (in the hope you buy from them) I,ve installed dozens of motors , multible 5 speeds and a few auto trannys all jap import and have only had one engine blow and they replaced it with no problems.

You may have broken a solder connection inside the MAF. They are prone to problems in those years. If possible, temp. swap one with another car and see if your problems clear up.

My 2000 obw has 257,000 miles on it and its got the same clutch as when i bought it at 110,000. I had the engine out recently to replace the HG , checked the clutch while I had it hanging ... and put it right back together again. You will know when your clutch slips and as long as you fix it quickly it won't ruin your flywheel .

Yes, U-joints & shaft from the slip joint at the back of the tranny to the carrier bearing then back to rear differential. Everything you need in one long package. Not hard to install yourself or any shop should be able to do it in an hour or so.

Yes , a bad driveline will do the things you describe. My 01 obw did this and after searching I discovered that in my year group (00-04) it must be replaced ! Can't have a driveline shop put replaceable u joints in it ! $500.00 later a complete driveline arrived at my door.

I believe that one is piston pin access, and was tight tight on my 2.5, you will definitely want an impact screwdriver . The o ring was hardened and leaking.

Behind the flywheel , use an impact screw driver to break the screws loose or the heads will strip.

Check the solenoid connection at the starter, may have popped off if the locking catch is broken. Standard or auto ? Clutch start switch at pedal or neutral safety switch ?

ignition switch go bad ?

Sounds like a bad ground. try removing and cleaning your battery posts and terminals.

Its a belt driven blower/ super charger ,If you look you can see the tube running over to the air filter housing. Really nice looking install job.

Hey dave ,thats cool ... I want one in my car !

I spent hours on my 94 looking under the dash for power wires to the windows. If you have no luck finding the your problem under the dash, try removing your driver seat and look under your carpet. Mine had a corroded main power wire from all the moisture that gets held under the carpet on the drivers side.

No leaks should be allowed in any exhaust, header or stock.

On my 94 legacy they all quit. The relay and all wiring was under the carpet , under the driver seat... had to remove the seat to see anything. With only one window effected i would test power at the switch and look for problems at that door first.

A 2002, 2.5 will have an 8 bolt bellhousing, yours is a 4 bolt , none of your upper parts will bolt on, as well as your trans not bolting up. It can be done but its more work than your thinking.

Yes, failing tensioner, bad idler, failing water pump. LOL leave the covers off and snow buildup will make them jump. At least be glad you have a 2.2 first generation !

Yes it can, most of the time they won't run at all, but you need to look at the belt static timing marks to confirm. Do you know how to remove the balancer ?

Well # 3 may be the worse one or the first one that the computer is reading. At least it's not that hard to check timing ... well... depending on your experience level , it's not hard to check. You have already tried the plugs, wires & coil, checked compression ... there isn't too much left that it can be. Oh last thought, did you just fill up with fuel ? Could you have water in the fuel filter ???

95, 2.2 non interference motor, i'm thinking your timing belt jumped. pull the timing covers and check your timing marks. Yes 150 psi is good on the cylinders.

What makes you think the cylinders are scored ?
