If you seat has airbags built in the Yards may not sell the seats. I know the You Pull and Pay in Colorado Springs, CO will not sell seats with airbags in them anymore, even if you are not going to use the airbags in the car you are bolting the seats into.

Have the flywheel surfaced and while it's off reseal the rear breather plate on the back of the block. If it's the plastic one, the Subaru metal replacements are under $20. Gray RTV is the sealant to use when you put the plate back on.

If you can hear it lock and unlock with the remote and the key also turns fully each way the rod going to the lock is most likely off. The rear panel will pop off at the top. There are about 10 of the push in plastic pins that will pop out of the hole if you pull it straight back. The panel will not come all the way off as there are also retainers on the bottom lip of the panel. You should be able able to pull it back far enough to see the lock.

I replaced the rear struts on my 06 Forester with a set of KYB's I had from a 98-04 Forester. The top hats and springs were different but the 00 KBY struts I had bolted right in, springs, and top hats. Brake line support brackets had to be modified a bit for the lines to go in but they worked great. I kept the 06 Springs and top hats if I ever need them.

I have a nice rust free pan if you want it. $20 + shipping from CO. A good steam clean is where I'd start and then find the source of the leak, If the TC was pulled out of the trans and then reseated the main seal may be damaged. As others have said, the trans coolant lines may have been damaged when the engine was changed. The trans funnels with a plastic hose on them work great!

Yep, works great. I've done this numerous times. I end up using about 3 gallons of fluid.

The clutch is spring loaded. The pressure plate tension is released by the clutch. It's unlikely that the hyd system would cause the slipping. Make sure you check the rear diff and make sure the axles are fully inserted. I've had a couple of them where one axle had popped out about a 1/2" and all the power to the rear was not going to the wheels. Felt just like a slipping clutch. Two other Mechanics told the previous owner the car needed a clutch. Putting the axle back in fixed the problem.

Winches
lmdew replied to miatapasta's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
The hitches bolt into the frame, with the same bolts that hold the bumper on. It would be pretty easy to weld up a mount for the winch. -
Yes, if you need a couple of spare cam and Crank Sensors, I can send them to you. Friday, I'll be flying through ORD. Larry
