another subaru person in tucson, yeah! the legacy is white, looks like yours in the pic where do you live? i found it up off orange grove and ina area

ok that is good to know, to me it sounds like a valve, a shop that does subarus a little looked at it here for the previous owner, they charged her 150 to diagnose it,nto sure how they did or what they did i haven't gotten the paperwork yet to see what they said but she thought it was a rod pick up the car and the paperwork tomorrow and am hopeflly going to see subrat

i do wonder if this car was maintained well, the interior and exterior is mint but i got the impression this lady did not know much about cars and the oil sticker is really old, i got a really good deal on it and it will be no biggie to drop a new engine in it if needed and the tranny was done at the dealer 26000-30000 ago, i am wondering if it is still under warranty, ford warranties are 3year/36000, will have all the fluids checked good and changed if needed

hey cookie subrat is going to look at it for me, i may just take the plunge and get the new one, will just see what he thinks if i keep driving it and the rod comes through will ccr take it for a core or not?

ok the noise did not go away when i drove it the other night, the lady said it gets louder as she drives it, i thought it seemed to kind of come and go it definitely leaks oil, i can smell it burning just driving it 10 miles or less how hard is it to reseaL the oil thing? thanks for all the input

hi eli! i would like to meet you and talk about this legacy i just bought, i bought a 99 with a 2.2 and i think it is going to meed a motor, it has a ticking sound that i think sounds like a valve but the previous owner thought the shop said rod but she wasn't sure, i would love to have you look at it and see what you think, where do you live? i am not picking it up until sat morning around 930 i want to meet some subaru people who live in town

how hard is it to change out the struts and tires from the outback to the legacy and what would be the best way to go about getting the parts to do that, i need more clearance thanks!

bought a 99 legacy 2.2 with something ticking in the motor, i think ( with my limited experience ) that is sounds like a valve but the lady that sold it to me said the shop said it was a rod( but she wasn't sure) if it is a valve can i just have the top end redone on it, the motor has 106,000 , so would that be stupid? also this car is leaking oil somehwere i can smell it burning, anything that leaks oil on it that would make a ticking sound? i was also thinking of getting a new motor from ccr any other suggestions ot things to look for/check? thanks for your time

looking to buy a subaru and want a good mechanic for working on it, i am willing to drive half a day to a day to have it worked on by someone who knows what they are doing, i am looking at a 99 legacy 2.2 with a rod knock right now and would need someone to put in a ccr engine or whatever i decide to do, i am also wanting to lift it a little can you guys recommend someone in my area or new mexico maybe that works on subarus and is good thank you!

looking for subaru mechanics in Az

Does anyone have any experiences they can share about putting these low mileage japanese trannys in like a 91 legacy. Any good advice about whether or not this is a good idea? Thank you, Courtney

can you get a 2.2 in an outback? I have a 91 that gets a solid 25 mpg in town with the ac on full blast in Tucson , Az- I am not interested in getting 20 or 21 mpg, I can buy a diesel truck that will get that (just read some posts on outback mpg)

Ok I am wanting to buy a 94 to 96 subaru wagon. I do not know what the real difference is between a legacy and an outback and the forester just looks bigger to me. I want an automatic , I think with another 4cyl like I have in my 91 legacy(which I think is a 2.2?)I like that engine, plenty of pick up and good gas mileage.Presently getting 25 to 27 mpg with my full time 4wd, would like something comprable in gas mileage, do any of the 6cyl do that good? I need 4wd , does not have to be full time but that is ok. I want to put a lift kit on this thing, my only gripe about the subarus is not enough clearance. I need advice on which engines and trannys are available and which ones are most relaible. I do mostly highway driving with maybe 30% in town, every year I put between 30000 and 40000 miles on it. I am not stuck on any particular year or type , this is a work car I do not mind if it has a few dings or paint is not good, I want one that is mechanically sound, preferably with lower miles. I love my 91 legacy and want to make sure I get another one as good as this one. I do very little ice and snow driving mostly rough dirt roads, mud and driving through small rivers. and a lot of highway. Ok which car do you guys think will be the best for me? Does anyone have anything like this for sale in a 12 hour drive from me in Tucson, Az? Thanks, Courtney

I have a 91 legacy with full time 4wd automatic, please tell me which tranny number I will need for a replacement. Actually I would like to buy a wrecked one with a good tranny and steering rack if anyone has one for sale. I am located in Tucson,Az so it needs to be not to terribly far, like not more than 12 hour drive. Thanks in advance. Courtney

I have a 91 legacy with full time 4wd and an automatic, it has been feeling kind of "floaty" for the last few weeks in the front end, now it is off and on not moving when you push on the gas, no raise in the rpms it just does not move then it catches and shoots forward. If you are trying to make a turn it really shudders and shakes, once you get it going in a straight line it seems fine. My boyfriend is a toyota enthusiast and does a lot of rebuilding engines ,etc but he does not have a lot of experience with subarus especially their 4wd systems. He thinks the diff in the middle is not working correctly and that it is inside the tranny. This car has 213000 miles on it and we were thinking about getting a low mileage tranny from Japan but I do not want to do this now if i don't have to. Any possibility this diff can be fixed or adjusted or something? Or does anybody have some different opinions on what might be going on? Also I am looking for a mechanic that specializes in Subaru in Tucson,Az. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Courtney
