Check all the ground connections and check your shift cable, which goes to the trans selector on the right side of the transmission.

I got one, it fit well. No heat shield but it works.

On a warm day, pull all the plastic trim on the inside around the headliner. Remove the headliner and then you will have access to the screws from the inside. Drill the head off and punch them through or cut them with a die grinder on the inside.

Here you go. The H6 engine uses a chain instead of a timing belt. https://cosprings.craigslist.org/cto/d/2003-subaru-outback-h6-30-v6/6624231036.html I can check it out if you like. Larry

Thanks, it's gone

Drain > Fill Pull the radiator trans coolant line, I use plastic tubing to run both ends into a gallon jug. Start the Subaru, it will pump out the old nasty trans fluid. When you have about 3/4 of a gallon turn off the engine, empty the jug, fill the trans with another gallon of fluid > Repeat until the fluid going into the jug is clean. It usually takes about 3 gallons. I'm sure it will be much better, then if you really want to improve your trans switch to Amsoil trans fluid. It made a world of difference on my 2002 Impreza with 230K on it.

The plastic air dam under the engine, any negatives to removing it completely?

Check out Load Pro. It lets you quickly check for voltage drops at the connector. I've had a few relays go bad. Could swap it out as you said.

You have to drill and put in the rivnut for the bolt.

Left Cam and Crank Sprockets are a matched set. Small trigger teeth on the Crank had more triggers on the cam.

Move or Send your Subaru's to me in Colorado.

Yep 1+

Yep, somethings are just not worth doing in the rust belt.

Sorry no tanks anymore.

Would have sent you a nice rust free, CO Tank. It's a world of difference working on CO cars compared to WI. I just pulled my Brother's 97 Legacy 2.2 last week in Sullivan WI. The rest of the car is going to the yard, but we saved the engine. Later, Larry

Just picked up a nice 95 Legacy wagon for the Admin at our Church for $300. It was up in Denver at a shop. A customer had a slight front end accident. Radiator was up against the engine. After she got an estimate for the repair, she signed over the title to pay for the towing. About an hours work, I had the bumper, headlights off and the radiator support pulled out. Got the radiator and AC condenser straighten out and the hood latched. Drove it 80 miles back to COS. Junk yard today. Clean body and interior 231K - engine runs great, smooth shifting auto trans I'll go through it front to back to make sure it's good to go. Always a good day, when it's a Subaru day.

You can easily push the piston back in before you remove the caliper by putting a large straight slot screwdriver into the open window on the top middle of the caliper and using it as a lever against the rotor. Pull the handle out and it will push the caliper piston back into the caliper. Make sure you apply the brakes slowly and only partial stroke to get the piston back out before you drive off.

I have lots of used belts and pulleys that are good. $15+ shipping. I've never seen a belt break, even really old dry cracked ones. It's usually the tooth idler that goes.

It's a out of the ordinary Subaru and not the Plug and Play Lego that other Subaru's are so parts will be limited. Just something to keep in mind.

Shawn is good at Retroroo but he's north of Denver. I do all my own work but when people ask, I send them to Cascade Subaru Specialists. He's a small shop on the way up Pike Peaks Highway, turn off to Cascade, CO he's off on the right. 4615 Fountain Ave, Cascade, CO 719-684-9060.

I'll get you pictures this morning. Larry

I have a good set, that I was going to send to the recycle center. I just pulled them out of the attic the other day. Good basket and clutches. Your's for the shipping and $10 for my time boxing them. PM me with your email and I can send you some pictures.
