driver seatbelt stopped working
lmdew replied to whiterabbit's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThese fail pretty often. It is driven by a motor at the bottom of the door at the aft side. Lots of times the cables come out of the track. Once that happens, you pretty much have to replace the complete unit. I've worked the cable back into the track but it doesn't last to long. If you can get it into the aft lock position, you can just undo it every time. Units are $25 at the local pull and pay. There is a manual retract option, the allen wrench is in the center counsel. Get out the owners manual.

98 Legacy Outback Alway ON - Runs
I picked up a 98 Legacy Outback. It was hit in the drivers front. I replaced the radiator, got it running but now it will not shut off. If I turn the key off, it keeps on running. I have to disconnect the negative battery cable to get it to shutoff. When I hook the battery back up it like the ignition is already on even though the key is not on. It does have the Subaru Security system. I take it a relay is stuck on. Where's the relay? Thanks, Larry

Acts like slipping clutch, but not so sure...
lmdew replied to detwiler007's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXCheck the drive shafts and differentials. I've had a couple of Subaru's where the axle popped out of the Diff a 1/2" or so and it feels just like the clutch is slipping. Look at both end of the half shafts and give them a good tug. If you don't see anything, put the brake on and let the clutch out, if one axle is turning, that's the problem.

yet another Speedo question
lmdew replied to a-marshal's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXMost likely the sensor since both the Speedo and Odometer went out. Look on the forward passenger side of the Trans, the sensor is over there.

98 Outback Wagon Torque Bind... tires?
lmdew replied to lucasb's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXTry the fuse, if the FWD light does not come on, you have confirmed it's an electrical fault with the C-Duty. Many post on doing this with some great pictures.

EJ22 replace oil pan and leaky for twice times!?
lmdew replied to Suba_GL_87's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXMost likely you damaged the rear main seal. Most advise not to touch the stock seal as they almost never leak. Since you have changed the seal already, you need to confirm it's the source of the leak. If it is, remove it. Polish the crank shaft seal area with green and then gray scotchbright in a circular motion. Lube the new seal lip seal and carefully drive it into the block. Make sure the lip seal does not roll or get damaged.

1998 Foz gas tank issue

remove and replace ej22 engine in a 90 legacy to fix torque converter seal
lmdew replied to matts87glsedan's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThere are 4 bolts that go from the flex plate to the TC, you get to them through the access hole on the top right side of the block. A 6 point 12mm deep socket works well. Once it's disconnected, push the TC back, it will go back in about an 1/8". The Trans is heavy as can be! You can get it down with a floor jack but it's not the best. How many miles on the Car? If the mileage is high, the trans may be toast. Many threads on seating the TC, just use the search. You have to get the TC completely seated or you will damage the trans when you put it back in and start the car!

EJ22 replace oil pan and leaky for twice times!?
lmdew replied to Suba_GL_87's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXMake sure the pan flange is flat. You may have pulled the metal up around the bolt holes using the gasket. If so you will have to flaten them back out or get a new pan.

Whats a '95 AWD 4EAT with a Bad Reverse Clutch Worth? $50?
lmdew replied to TheLoyale's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYep, little value. You could hang on to the pan, rear tailshaft and clutch, solenoids. They are only of value if someone needs them. I've kept some for my own use, but not to many are interested in purchasing them.

lmdew replied to Suba_GL_87's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXRTV Only, no gasket. Are you sure it isn't the Breather plate? That's the common leak on the back of the engine.

AWD NOT working! HELP PLEASE
lmdew replied to 05-Subie-98's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXCheck the drive axles! If you can put the car on jacks stands and put in drive and see if all wheels turn. I've had the rear drive half shafts pop out of the rear diff, if that is the case, the rear drive shaft is turning but the wheels won't. Not likely since you say the rear drive wheels are working in reverse. How are the fluids? Does the AT Temp Light come on at all? Someone might have pulled the bulb. It should come on after you start the car.

Steering column bushing or bearing at firewall?
lmdew replied to LeolaPA's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThere should be a rubber donut there. Hit any junk yard and pull the steering column and you can pull it out.
