Yep, I usually find it way less money and faster to swap in a used trans. Yes it is in unknown condition but most yards have 30 day or longer exchange. While the trans is out: Seal the rear engine breather plate Surface the flywheel. New clutch kit Check or change the clutch fork.

The belt also drive the Power Steering Pump. How's it? Also check all if the battery connections. Clean and tight?

Nice a + being from WI way back when.

Ordered my Amsoil today.

I have a 5sp shifter and center counsel panel as well as the rear trans cross mount and trans mount. $30 + shipping from 80919 Larry Just recycled the brake box last week.

Do you have the diameter? It should be the smaller of the two I believe. A few months ago I know I had one, but I've been cleaning the garage.

Yep, sometimes they are rusted in. I have some drum hubs listed as well. A little bearing noise but not to bad.

I've had this happen on about 4 manual trans Subaru's. The center viscous coupling will transfer light power, but when power goes to the rear with a disconnected half shaft it goes no where. I do have good half shafts, $20 + Shipping from CO. These are used stock Subaru axles with good used boots. You can pull the strut and hub bolts if there are not frozen and then pull the hub away from the car. Once the inner side is free you can remove the axle from hub.

Yep going direct should be fine.

When you first turn the key on, you should hear the fuel pump run for a few seconds to build pressure. If you hear it run, you should have fuel coming out the filter hose. You can always pull the air box off the throttle body and put a cap full of fuel in the throttle. Put it back together, it should start and run for a bit.

GD are you running Amsoil and Amsoil filters? What interval do you change them out at? Thanks, Larry

I've always been a change it ever 3000 miles with a quality oil and filter and check ever gas fill up - $20 or so. How many are running Amsoil is $8 - $12 a quart and the filter is $16. So say $66 for an oil change. Are you running it to 100k for the next oil change? What's your experience? Better half now has a 2006 Forester. Thanks, Larry

I have good front hubs in Colorado. Sometimes the axle CV joint fails internally so the axle shaft is turning but no power is being transmitted to the wheel. Have someone put it in gear while you watch the axle from above and off to the side. Is the axle turning? If so it's most likely the outer CV Joint. Get a Subaru axle. Larry

I have a 99 instrument cluster with the wire fix installed. $50 shipped.

Always Sweet when it works out!

Talked to the scrap yard supervisor. He told me they don't do a think with the cars they scrap complete with good airbags. He said the shredder didn't care.

95 may be an aftermarket system. Have you pulled the door panel to see? You could pull the fuse when you park it and then see if the battery drain goes away. That would isolate it to that system.

I've scrapped lots of Subaru's over the years but never thought about what the yards do with non-deployed airbags. I have several passenger and drivers side airbags that I'm going to recycle. I searched the web and found a few options but other than deploying them with 12 volts - 30 feet away and then just sending them through the metal recycle centers not much. Thought I'd ask. Thanks, Larry

Cheaper and faster to pick up a good used engine and bolt it in IMHO.

If you end up needing one. I have an 07 Legacy Outback CAT. The engine had 42K on it. $200 = Shipping from 80919

I have cam gears and everything you need to put it back together to see if it runs. Shipped from CO, 80919

I'd pull the cam gear and see what's up. If the cam froze due to lack of lub, the engine most likely is beyond hope. Dig a little further, drain the oil and check the filter for metal. Miles?

MPG comes up every winter. Owners allowing the car to warm up, and gas that does not have all the summer additives contributes to lower MPG.

I have a couple in CO. $20 + shipping, which will be about $40.

95 Intake and the EGR will have to be worked around.
