Your spring reseal should take care of it.

As far as I know the only way to read the codes out of an OBDII is with a scanner. Many of the auto parts stores will read them for free!

All 4 can be replaced. The tail shaft one is easy, all the rest are a lot of work.

Check the Denver Craigslist. A nice 98 Brighton 2.2 low miles. Several 6 cylinder Outback, lower mileage.

The clutch pack was it. I got a good one from CCR. Thanks CCR. All Done, just a little clean up and it will be up for Sale. 93 155K Turbo Sedan, White good rust free Colorado Car!

There is a little under an 1/8 of movement until they get to the stop. I got another one which has less play3/32 or so. I did not measure them but its a pretty good eye ball. Thanks

I got a 93 Sedan Auto Trans 152K. No rear drive. 1) Flushed the Fluid - No change 2) C-Duty is clean, FWD light comes on and I can blow air through it when energized 3) Clutches look good and when I put air to the pressure port on the clutch housing shaft they move freely. If I remove the C-Duty from the valve body, I can not blow air through it to make the clutch pack move. Should I be able to do that? Help, Trans is apart and I'd like to get to the root cause before I put it back together. Thanks, Larry

You should have the CEL if its a failed sensor or component. Have you pulled the codes?

I took a look at an 2002 Impreza with a 2.5 SOHC. The owner said the idler pulley had frozen and the timing belt broke. They have installed a new belt and pulleys and water pump. It seems to run fine, I did not have the time to do a compression check. No Cell on. Valves bent or they got luckey?

Any history of the timing belt breaking? If so, bent valves could cause your symptoms. Check the coolant over flow for black oily residue, if it's in there you have a head gasket leak. Get a good 95 2.2 engine and drop it in and you'll be good to go. If you want to sell, let me know. I work for SkyWest and I'm out in SLC every month or so. Larry

They can be adjusted. There is a 14mm nut on each side of the mount. Back off the nut on the switch side, unplug the switch and then turn it in holding the nut on the backside of the mount plate. Tighten up the nut on the switch side and plug the connector back in. Before you do any of this, get a mirror and flash light and look at the clutch pedal where it contacts the switch. There is a small plastic stopper there, if its broken off, the switch plunger will go right through the pedal hole.

Synthetic gear oil will not thicken like regular gear oil when its cold. You still get the lubrication protection without the drawbacks. You still want to use the specified weight 75-90 I think.

Play is most likely from the shifter bushings. Get the car up on jack stands and follow the linkage to the transmission. You will see the joint there. Have someone move the shift linkage while you watch the trans. Bushings can be replaced and that will take care of the free play. You may want to go to Lucus gear lube or another quality lube to help the shifting.

I've done it this way for years. My only variation is I use a gallon plastic jug and when it's 3/4 full I shut down the engine and over fill the transmission again. The reason you got air IMHO is you pumped fluid out faster than it was going in. I get 4 gallons of fresh fluid, drain and fill the pan and then use the radiator hose to pump out the old fluid. It works great!

Did you get it fized?

Pull the ground side of the neutral switch. Hook up your multi meter and you should see the 5 volt signal switch on and off. If you don't see it, go to the input side of the switch and see if the voltage is getting to the switch.

Did you ground the other end of the neutral switch wiring? I just did this on another 95 Legacy. Ecu to Neutral switch to ground. The ecu put out the voltage, when the neutral switch goes to ground the voltage drops to zero as it finds a ground. That's how the ECU knows the transmission is not in neutral.

I always try to let it set overnight, 24 hours if possible. I always better safe than sorry. I want to let it cure completely and let the bead of sealant cure completely as well so it does not get into the oil.

No the CVJ are not rotating. I didn't try the FWD fuse, but I though of it after the fact. Unplug one or both Transmission connectors?

A friend has a 2000 Legacy Outback, Automatic with 330,000 miles on it. Single OHC 2.5. The other day he was going down the freeway and stepped on the gas to pass. The transmission down shifted into 3 he heard a clunk then the transmission stopped driving. I took a look today: - Fluid is full - TC is still attached and spinning with the flex plate - Shift Linkage is hooked up and all gears except neutral light on the dash (the lack of a neutral light is the only missing indication) - Shifting into any gear has no effect on RPM and even at 3500 RPM there is no movement of the drive shaft. Internal Failure of? I suggested getting a low mileage used trans as it already has so many miles on it. What do you think?

Shawn, can this be moved into the FAQ section?

Could be a leaking injector. Have you checked the plugs?

The E-Brakes are attached to a Tee under the center counsel. With one attached, it can effect the brakes as the cable is attached while the other one is cut. Did you remove the cut cable and lever? If not it may be the source of your noise.

Where are you located? A USMB member may be close by and be able to take a look. Is the Check Engine Light (CEL) on? It should be if its a component that is connected to the computer that has caused the failure to start. If the CEL is on, you should get the codes read. Since its not running to drive it to an auto parts store where they would read out the codes for Free, it may be worth your while to purchase a OBDII code reader. They are about $90 for a reasonable one. Once you have the codes, we could help more. Mileage? Any Maintenance that has been done? Details of the failure? Does it sound like it's trying to start or does it just crank over with no firing of the cylinders at all? The timing belt is right behind the big black covers behind the radiator fans.

Passenger side.
