yeah at 40 or 45 it will def. down shift to 3rd and if there is an incline or so at 40 it will even downshift to 2nd... i dont think there is anything worng with your tranny... but change the fluid and put some lucas trans fix in it just in case... i doubt at 83k miles the tranny is toast... let us know what happens

ahh make me one pleeeeeeeaase :-p

if it is an L or 30th anniversary edition, it is definetely a 2.2 as far as the tranny, hmmm if you are under 40mph that will def happen but not at 60 or 65

2.2s have no headgasket issue.. its a way more reliable engine

fuel pressure regulator... was replaced, but that really sounds like it is a fuel presure regulator problem, then again may be loosing pressure somewhere

i had the same problem with a 2.2 once.. it turned out to be the cam sensor... somehow when the sensor is old, it gets very sensitive to humidity

yeah offer him $150! :lol: well go down to 200 and meet in the middle 250 maf sensor, O2 sensor, plugs, wires, filters will need to be changed... clean AIC valve and throatle body, all this can be done in less than a day. oh one more little annoying thing... knock sensor! also check the fuel pump.. i just got a used one from the JY for 5 bucks.. so they are cheap remember this: the 2.2Ts are NOT gas savers, at the best you'll get 20 mpg at worse you'll get 12-14mpg

ok so its time to revive this thread... i worked on the steering wheel today.. and it worked!!! well i wen to home depot and got the Loctite Super Glue Professional Bottle, its a 0.7oz bottle with a long tip, just like the classic Krazy glue tip. so on the back of your steering wheel at 10 and 2 oclock, you'll find some holes, get a small screw driver and just stick in there till you feel the metal of the steering wheel, sorta make the hole loose a little then stick the tip of the glue as far as you can in a angle towards where the problem is.. squeeze some glue in there, turn the steering wheel towards the problems and leave there for a few mnts (5 mnts for me)... so if your steering wheel is loose on top and you start doing it on the right, turn your steering wheel to the left in order for the glue to run off to the center... do the same to the other side. You may have to make a hole in the center part if your foam cushion is too loose, i had to. Be careful no to put too much glue as it will squirt all over as you are pressing the steering wheel on those 5 mnts wait.. i just hope this helps our problem... my steering wheel is as solid as new now :banana: cheers Neo

yeah the WRX sti vid, i think those 360s was possible because of the LSD

thanks thats exactly what i am looking for now lets see some homemade ones! :grin:

... does anyone know where i can get this? part number is 499207100 i checked all the sites and it is not available do u guys have a picture of a homemade one? thanks

it definetely sounds like a clutch pack, the prices can run from $400 used installed up to $1000 new clutch packs installed, remember that the dealer does not offer the original parts number anymore, instead, they have a new set for the clucth pack job, it runs somewhere around 600 bucks... i just had this done to my legacy, luckily i had a good subaru guy and a good SVX clutch pack (six rings)

Bigusa i think 1275 is a good deal for the car, despite the timing belt and the rusty brakes i just bought the same car but in a wagon for 1600 with 160k miles on it remember that the 2.2s are non interference, so who cares if the TB is broken, it will take u 2 hours plus parts to replace that and there u have a nice car in your hands get it!

I have an auto too, i'm still cool!

add the picture to your photo gallery,

last time i had the cruise and ABS failing at the same time it was the alternator going on me, but again i'm talking about a 95 legacy... you may have corrosion on your battery terminals?!?

most likely it is from a bigger brake set... the 91 to 94 legacy turbos had those, and i believe the legacies 97 to 99 GT also had those

it could also be the bypass hose... i had a subie that i thought the water ump went, it was dripping just like you said, it turned out to be the bypass hose EDIT: wait.. mine was a turbo, no sure if the 2.5 will have that too

i'll get the dremel out tomorrow and try in one side of the wheel, lets see what happens

:grin: :grin: that is the ultimate subaru dance

i had to replace the video, there were some bad words there :-p

i'm gonna try something this coming weekend... crazy glue injection need to find a needle and a siringe

it may be the water pump seal

i thought about that, injecting glue, but i'm not sure it will work, i got the same problem on my 95
