Stupid quest. about torque bind AFTER a trans change.
lmdew replied to Green96GT's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXUsed parts are BBW unless they have a return policy. Then they will only give you another used part, may be good, may be bad. Labor is always at your expense. If the garage was not inside the trans, they didn't do anything that would cause torque bind. Does it go into the FWD mode when the fuse is installed?

coil help
lmdew replied to subestyle18's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe coil is 3-4 1-2 If 1&2 are not sparking try the other ECU. I just had the same thing happen on a 93 Turbo engine swap, we got the wrong ECU in and it would not run and there was no sparke on the front coil of the coil pack.

USMB Member near Sacramento/Folsom CA
I have a line on a good 93 Impreza with bad headgaskets on a 1.8 engine. I'm looking for a USMB Member who may be willing to repalce the HG or drop in a good used 2.2. I'm in Colorado and I think it may be cheaper to get it fixed there and then drive it home. If you've done this type of work on Subarus before or know of a good private shop in the area please let me know. Willing to pay for parts and your time. Thanks, Larry Lmdew@hotmail.com

Speedo Issue 98 Forester
lmdew replied to Randall's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI believe you want the forward sensor on the passenger side. It's a 17mm fitting to back it out. Same place as the older subarus with the speedo shaft.

Need some help! EMERGENCY! car in- need tommorow!!
lmdew replied to ericem's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXManual you can put the trans in 5th and have someone hold the brakes. Auto, you can put a punch in the flex plate through the inspection hole. Either, You can pull a plug have the cyclinder on the compression stroke and then fill it with oil. Or push rope in to the plug hole. If using oil, put the plug back in and torque the bolt (125 ftlbs) then remove the plug and turn it through a few times to push the oil back out of the plug hole. Its messy but works. Inspect the pulley, shaft and key for damage, fix what is damaged.

No wonder this trans didn't work in FWD mode

Need help with T-belt change
lmdew replied to AlexK's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXNon - interference. No damage should have been done to the valves or pistons. You should not torque against the new t-belt. I use segments of the old one and a strap wrench to hold the cam pulleys when I torque those bolts. The main crank bolt should go to 125 ftlbs. You can torque it by locking up the flex plate on the auto or in gear on the manual. Just pull the belt back off and line up the timing marks and put the belt or new belt back on. After a few, you're a pro.

Catalytic Converter on 95 Legacy Wagon
lmdew replied to dbarber's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXMost places can not resell CATs, but ask the yards in your area. The length of the pipes are all the same. They may look a little different, but I've bolted up many different years and models. Good Luck finding a good one.

Need help with T-belt change
lmdew replied to AlexK's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXPut it on all the pulleys first, the geared idler pulley last. Just rotate the idler into position and start the bolt. The new style tensioners are not as good as the old ones. You can switch by changine the attach block out.

Do I need a new Tranny?
lmdew replied to kimokalihi's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXDrain the fluid and take a look. Any Metal? How's the gear lube look and smell. Put new gear lube in at the proper service level. Any change in the noise? Lot's of trans make noise, is it different from gear to gear or is it the same?

AT Oil light flashing; some torque bind + more
lmdew replied to eseiler's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIf it started right after the fluid change, I'd say you broke a wire if you were in the pan to change the filter. It could be that some dirt has broken loose from the new fluid and clogged the C-Duty flow. Have you tried the FWD Fuse? That will tell you if the wire is broken.

Couple quick questions about my 95 Legacy...
lmdew replied to Danbob's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe RPM sound normal for the 2.2 Legacy. How bad is the rust, you just have to think about the results of a total failure and that should guide your maintenance.

which year to buy
lmdew replied to johnd911's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXPick one up cheap with a bad engine and then put a 95 2.2 in. Its a direct bolt up. If you look at running cars, make sure you test drive for at least 30 minutes at heavy loads and then check the overflow tank for signs of air or oil deposits (nasty black stuff).

oil drain plug is stripped
lmdew replied to babyfacefitz's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYou can drop the pan, but the engine will have to be jacked a little to get the back bolts. It easy if the exhaust pipe is dropped, but possible with it on. A used pan and plug should be at most yards. RTV is the seal for the new pan.

Windscreen Washer Pump Not Working
lmdew replied to Ogre82's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThat's the electrical connector. Look for the plug, it should be close by, just two wires. You have no power to the pump. The tank is pulled for maintenance, like changing the plugs. They just did not hook it back up.
