TQ Came Off During Engine Removal - Need Help
lmdew replied to subaruUser's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX2 for replacing the front seal, you may have damaged it when you pull thing apart with lots of stress on the TC You also need to fix the dent in the pan if it's more than 1/8" in. There is very little clearance between the pan and valve body and fluid inlet port. I'd also take a close look at the aft trans mount. if you put the starter in the hole and push the TC aft and rotate it the gears will just touch when you rotate the TC. When the engine and trans are together and you put the TC to flex plate bolts in you pull the TC forward about an 1/8.

What would you do? CV, HG, slap..
lmdew replied to Paine's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXEasy, fix it and keep it on the road. What are you going to do if you scrap it, have $300 a month payments on a new car or a used car that you have limited idea of the history on. Or sell it to me for $500 and I'll fix it

Torque bind question
lmdew replied to KRB64's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXWhen is the last time the transmission fluid was changed? Did you flush the trans? This sounds like the clutch pack is hanging up, not the C-duty electrical failure. Start with new fluid!

HELP! Fairbanks AK people!
lmdew replied to 2.5GL's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXSome of these rings are inside the diff and do not come out. He may want to check that. If the old one had on on the end of the shaft that that's not the case but he could swap it from the old axle to the new one. If all else fails, head down to the local bearing shop with the axle, they can find one that would work.

NO SPARK
lmdew replied to GAS's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXDid you pull the ECU connector and dry and clean it. I'd suspect the ECU is damaged if the water was up to that level. Start with the connectors and sensor connectors.

Broken timing belt 2000 Impreza EJ22
lmdew replied to nowincolor's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYes most likely the valves are bent, but you might have gotten lucky. It does not cost much to put a belt on and see what extend the damage is. Turn it over by hand first and then see how it runs. A good used motor is a good option and not very hard to install. About $400 in parts to repair the old one, valves, HG, TBelt seals...

Best Legacy Year
lmdew replied to bultmajd's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXGet a nice rust free one out of the rust belt. Yes it won't stay that way but at least it's a good starting point.

dimming headlights when using brakes?
lmdew replied to heartless's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXCheck all of the connections and grounds are clean and tight. Check the alt output Check the headlight connectors and well as the tail light. Rule out the simple stuff first.

Good Subie Mechanics? in NH and CO...
lmdew replied to mikeamondo's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXMy son is in Fort Collins and has been well trained in Subaru's. He's busy with work and college but I'm sure he'd take a look if it's not urgent. Oil leaks are pretty easy on the 95 2.2 Rear of the engine - Breather plate or Cam cover Side of the Engine - Valve Cover Gaskets Front of the Engine - Make sure it's not the power steering pump or oil pressure switch. If those are clean and it's coming out of the timing cover, cam or crank seals or the Oil Pump needs to be resealed.

Stripped 19mm front control arm rear transfer link bushing bolt
lmdew replied to idosubaru's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXDid a 97 Impreza OBS to forester Strut change today. The rear link mounts broke 4 of the 6 nuts loose inside the frame. I had one bolt on each side out and the other 4 loose. Removed the rear seat bottom and plastic door sill plates. Drilled up from the bottom in the good hole and then used a cardboard template to locate were to drill the 1 1/2" hole down from the top to access the other nuts. Worked well. The bolts were corroded above the nut, the nut and bolt part that was inside the nut was pretty good. A few breaker bars and some work allowed us to remove all six bolts and reuse them as we installed the new trailing arms. All of the holes were under the rear seat, so we just left them.
