No the original one will work fine.

Yes, replace the radiator is the best option. You could take it to a radiator shop, they may be able to stop the leak by crimping the metal clamp a little more and pressure testing it. There is a rubber gasket between the plastic tank and the core. I would think you could order a radiator online.

I've pulled 20+ engines from the you pull yards. Look for: - Car hit hard, you know it was going down the road - Car is in other wise good shape, you know the owner took care of it - Oil, pull the pan plug, the cleaner the oil the better. Put you finger in the drain hole and check the bottom of the pan for metal inside - Engine turns over by hand and compression feels good on all cylinders - Pull a plug or two, good clean burning - Coolant looks good If it passes all those checks pull it. Before you install it: - Reseal the rear breather plate - New Plugs (NGK) and valve cover gaskets - Reseal the Oil Pump and locktite on the rear cover screws - New Subaru Cam and Crank Seals - New Timing belt kit - Make sure the thermostat is a Subaru one and the gasket is good

Head to the yard and clip a good connector and then splice it in. Easy.

I just tossed several rust free Colorado Springs. I have more $5 + shipping. Larry

Subaru are like lego's. Lot's of parts will bolt right on other Subaru's: Brakes Struts Seats A good used 96-99 Outback with the DOHC engine that the Head Gaskets have went out is a great platform and will last a long time.

Drop in a good used 2.2, better and cheaper long lasting option.

Drop a used 2.2 into this one and for less than $2000 you can have a great car that will last for years. http://rockies.craigslist.org/cto/5828064499.html

Let me know what you're looking for. I fix Subaru's for fun. 96-99 DOHC engines have Head Gasket issues. When I find one with a bad engine, I drop a 96-98 2.2 engine in it. Much better engine and only a small loss in power. Larry

It's easy to cross thread the hood bolts if the hinge is not lined up. Leave all the bolts lose and start them by hand. I'd pull the hood off and try the standard tap first. There is not much depth in there so take it easy.

How worn were your old shoes? I have had new shoes that were two thick. Is the adjuster screwed all the way in? If your old shoes have over a 1/8" pad on them, I'd use them. Remember it's only a parking Brake.

Intake Air Temp sensor is right on the front face of the intake air box to the passenger side of the throttle body. Rock Auto.com Amazon.com www.heubergermotors.com/parts/index.htm 25% off if you order online. I use them cause they are close to me but they do ship.

I've towed lots on the dolly. Drop the 4 driveshaft bolts at the rear diff and head down the road. Larry

Yep, works great. I've used a spare Brake vacuum line, just make sure the check valve allows the EGR to pull air. Ace Hardware, Plastic hose barb Tee with a brass hose barb reducer screwed into it. Works Great

Yep, I did the same thing years ago. I love the ability to quickly bleed and flush the brake system. I use Quick disconnect air fittings on my. They seal fluid as well. Nice Post.

I've pulled them together, its a pain. Auto's are really bad.

I don't think the 99 Legacy has the plug built in. I just added a hitch to the better half's 2006 Forester and it had the pigtail on the passenger side in the floor. Easy. I used http://www.etrailer.com/ for the Drawtight hitch and wiring. Easy and Fast and a price that could not be beat. Older Legacy's I've seen the tail lights tapped into behind the lights. I'm not a fan of the crimp on wire taps but that is what I see the most.

Spend even less. A good used Subaru with a 95-99 2.2 motor will last forever. Put them in an Auto as they are learning to drive. Solid car, they will most likely dent it anyway. No Torque bind, shifts well. Clean fluids and good brakes and tires.

1+ Super Rupair. Nothing but good reports on them.

With good tires the Subaru will crawl right out or through just about anything.

Runs great, no knocks or valve noise. Down side, it's still using oil. It must be the rings. Looks like a core engine or will be soon. Thanks, Larry

Have you checked the shift shaft going into the trans? Is it moving through all the gears?

I have a couple good CATS in Colorado that would bolt right in.

Installed new felpro valve guide seals. Maybe one of them was hanging up a valve slightly. It ran great to day. I ran it down the road for a mile or so. Hope the Subaru god is with me. Larry

Neutral switch on the trans tells the ECU when the trans is in between gears. The wires come to the top of the trans right behind the engine so it's easy to check with a meter.
