95 is the one you want. I believe 96 and newer are interference engines. Rick at CCR will be able to confirm this for you.

14's will not fit on the Front, they hit the caliper.

CCR engines are Great, but why do you think the old one is bad? Does the sound change when the engine warms up? If so it's most likely piston slap - keep on driving it. You can check the oil pressure if the bottom end bearings are bad, pressure will be low.

In idle park hot is best. Yes, you have to check it the same all the time or you will get wierd results.

I drain and fill and then pull the return hose off the radiator. Run a hose into a gallon jug and start the engine. Pour fluid in the trans at the same rate its coming out into the jug. When you have clean fluid coming out the radiator cooler, you have flushed the trans. It takes about 3 gallons for a complete flush. Check out www.bossproductsusa.com for a great trans filter. Larry

Check out these filters. If there is enough interest, I'd do a large buy and could get them for about $35 each. I got one with my Dodge rebuilt trans and started looking into them. Great filter! http://bossproductsusa.com/products.html Let me know if you want one or more!

If cleaning does not work, let me know I have spare switch panels. I'm in the Springs. Lmdew@hotmail.com

There is a spring clip that holds the stub shaft in the Diff. If the stub shaft pulled out, look to see if the spring clip is there. If not, I'd drain the diff and see if it comes out. At any rate, you need a new clip. Pull the half-shaft pin, put the stub shaft in with a new clip and then put the half shaft back on.

You can put 12V to the pump connection as a backup to see if its the pump.

Drain the coolant Jack the front as high as you can get it Open the bleed plug on the radiator and pull the cap SLOWLY fill the coolant system (I fill through the bleed plug) you have to do it slowly that way! When full, put the bleed plug in Keep on Squeezing the upper hose until you get all the air put Start the car and repeat step above Let it come to temp and shut it off When cool, let it off the jack, fill the coolant and take it for a test drive.

If you need a good one or replacement parts, I have 3 spares. Lmdew@hotmail.com

Just pull the aft end of the shaft. Drop the cover plate and pull the shaft to the side. You can wire the shaft off to the side free of the diff. Off you go! No problems, no leaking gear oil.

PYE I have your drive shafts for your trans swap. I pulled them from a 92 Legacy Sedan. Good Shape, I'll also send the diff input so if your 96 is different, you can swap them over. That what I did on my son's RS Trans install. Send your shipping address and email. Lmdew@hotmail.com Lost your email.

I have a 93 that going to the crusher. For $25, I'll pull the lock assy and send it to you! Lmdew@hotmail.com

I have a couple good used ones. Shipped from Colorado 80919. $20 + the shipping costs.

Are you using the marked tooth on the back of the crank gear and NOT the arrow on the front? This is a common mistake and then the car will not start. If you do a search there are several threads that have pictures.

Single core, which is more cooling than you should need if the system is in good shape!

I have one for an Outback Sport, it may fit your as well. $50 plus shipping. Lmdew@hotmail.com. I can send some pics when I get home. Aftermarket metal end caps, no plastic.

Keep it simple: Is the fluid properly serviced? Install the FWD fuse, does that help? If the fuse does not help drop the rear section of the rear drive shaft that should get rid of the torque bind but gas mileage will be bad! Used Transmission will be less! Oil leaks are easy if you can do the work.

Green tan interior, but they are mostly trash.

You are welcome to come and grab parts off the 93 Legacy that is going to the crusher next week. Its down at the old COS airport. I'll be back in town Friday.

I'm getting ready to crush a few center bearings on Auto Trans shafts. I do not know if they are the same, but if you need one and it works for your car let me know. Lmdew@hotmail.com

http://www.nasioc.com The sell fron $200 - $400 for wheels and tire.

It should bolt up fine, the EGR valve may give you problems. If the Forster has one, but the 2.2 does not, the computer will be looking for it. The 95 2.2 is a direct bolt in and the last year of the non-interference engine, I do believe.

I have the pics to send, just can't find your email. Lmdew@hotmail.com
