Hello All, just thought I'd share the new car. 2005 Legacy GT. Sold off my 98 LGT and 82 DL Wagon. I did pick up a winter beater..95 Legacy LS wagon lifted 2" for the bad days.

Thanks guys.. Dropped it off at my neighbor mechanic's. Ill see what he has to say about..wish I had the time to do it myself.

Hey guys, just picked up a 95 Legacy for a winter beater.Its got a 2.2 with around 115k on it. I noticed yesterday while at idle it is making a weird almost rattling sound. The sound quickly goes away when the car gets up over 1500RPM's. Seems like it just started and I have been driving it for around a week. Also seems to go away when the wheel is turned completely to the left or right. What could this be? There is also a weird whirring sound coming from the rear when driving down the road...What coulod these be? Any help would be appreciated!!

I think its time for me to upgrade my 98 Legacy GT. So I have decided to look into the Outback VDC either wagon or sedan..whatever I can find at auction. How do you like this vehicle??? Is the VDC system all its cracked up to be?

What is the price and what part of PA are you in?

John, a carfax reprt will give you a better idea on were the car has been and how many owners it has had. Hopefully it was a one owner! Make sure the mechanic drives the car in a figure 8 sequence in a parking lot to check for torque bind and or lurching. Also, make sure the car has 4 matching tires.

try a search and see if that gives you any pointers

Gary, the 99 is still doing this, but with a fluid change and some lucas trans treatment, it seems to be going into drive a little quicker, but can still notice its there.

I wasnt on the test Drive when it happened. Its an auction that sells a large amount of subies on ebay about 10 mins away from my place. I am kind of leery so Im going to go down and check it out for myself.

Looking at a 96 Outback 2.2 with 5 speed. The place says that the main computer burned out on a test drive and now will not start and will need to be towed. My question is, would a computer from a 96 2.2 Auto trans fit right in? How difficult and time consuming is this whole process??

Thanks for the quick reply Nipper!!

Hi All! Just got a 99 Outback 2.5 with 95k on it. When shifting into Drive it seems that it takes longer than usual for the tranny to engage into gear. Did a fluid flush and still hasn't done the trick. Also, from time to time the speedomter does not work.Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

I agree that it may just be road film. Go to an auto parts store and pick up a claybar and some quick detailer and see if the contaminant will come off with a few swipes of the claybar. You can also try a heavy duty tar and adhesive remover to rub the film off.

I second that!

Skip, I will try all of the above before I put serious consideration to the 5 spd D/R, but if I can get my hands on the tranny and components I will be going that route

Well, Id love to do the swap. I just don't have the time to go about doing it. I know I can defintely do it at my shop, but time can be an issue, along with getting the tranny and various parts needed.

89 GL with the 3AT pushbutton 4WD seems to be having some issues. Car takes a few seconds to engage in any gear, once it engages car still does not want to move once the accelerator pedal is pushed. The car will move but not like it should. I guess with having 190k I cant expect much more from this tranny. I just dont want to give it up because it still runs great and for a Northeast GL the body has been holding up well. Anyone know of a fix?

I was looking under my parents 00 OBW and found a plate on the tranny that reads Remanufactured 3/30/05 by a company called CRS in Mahwah NJ..Anyone ever hear of this company?

Ive seen these guys on the internet..they seem to build up some nice cars

Your 2000 OB would be a phase 2 2.5 engine

I usually clean engines with the engine off, but make sure the alternator, coil, fusebox, and ECM if visible is covered over with a plastic bag to avoid any problems. If the spark plugs are situated in a way that will "pool" water, I will usually give a few quick sprays of WD40 to chase it away if it does try to enter. Then blow the engine off with some compressed air to dry, then start the vehicle.

Any 80's GL wagon will do it for me

New thermostat seems to have worked

My bro's 89 FI 89 GL has been running hot lately and getting close to overheating. Can't tell if its the head gaskets yet. Any suggestions?
