The orings on the compressor and condenser are often the source of the leak. Subaru parts. -
Not adjustable. You can bleed the clutch change the fluid. I've been happy with the Grip force clutch kits off ebay.
-
Yes, you may have to change the top hats of the rear struts but they will bolt up. Why would you do this? Each to his own. Have fun, that's the important part.
-
You have to drop the headliner, which means all the trim has to come out. Lot's of work, there are small metal slides that allow the shade to slide. In warm weather the trim should be OK. Practice on the wreck car first.
-
As long as the front and rear diff are the same ratios you are OK. Swap them is the less expensive route. www.car-part.com will give you a good idea of the costs.

LOAD Pro would have seen the fault. Again, with no load on the circuit, the meter will lie to you. Read voltage and push the button to load the circuit. If voltage falls on it's tail, the problem is in the wiring, corrosion/highresistance. LOAD Pro on amazon runs about $50 and should be used everytime you read voltage. Easy! Larry

Make sure you are pushing the button on the end of the arm. Lots have people have told me the washer does not work and then I show them the button on the end, have to push it in.
-
Your meter can lie to you. Check out Load Pro on you tube. I had a 97 Impreza would randomly quit. Turned out to be the main relay. I'd take the time to take it out, and yes its tucked up in there.

Stay with a 2.2, it's a much better engine and does not have the head gasket problems the DOHC 2.5 have. You may have a bad lifter. Have you pulled your valve covers? The 2.2 had both adjustable valves and hydraulic lifters. If you have adjustable ones, check the valve clearance. If you have hyd, there is no adjustment but a lifter could be bad. Running 5-30 Oil?
-
Yep, smack it good!

I'm not positive on the 05, but on 95-2002 I know there is a spring clip on the end of the axle. To get it to pop off, I always cut away the old rubber boot. Then place the axle on a 2x4 and step on it. Take another 2x4 or hardwood block and put it right up against the inner CV joint and hit it hard! It should pop off.
-
It's the security System. You have reset button, small black button usually under the drivers side kick panel. Put the key in and turn it on and then press and hold the reset button.
-
Start it up and put a $1 bill up to the exhaust pipe. If it sucks up against the outlet you most likely have a bent valve. Easy fix for a bad 96-99 DOHC engine is to swap in a good old 95 2.2 with EGR. Plug and Play for the most part. You can use other years as long as you get the single port y-pipe and or put the correct intake on it.
-
Yes, turns a little a and then will come off. There are tabs on the washer that hold the rubber cover on. It will just pry off as well. Turn it about a 1/4 turn and the tabs will be lined up for it to come off.

www.car-part.com should help you out.

Yards: Is the car hit hard on the body somewhere? If so, check the condition of the car other than the accident. Is it well maintained? What the mileage? Does the engine turn over well by hand? How does the oil look? How do the plugs look? Check the overflow coolant for HG oily stuff on the DHOC 2.5 If everything checks good than it's worth pulling it. Otherwise move on. I like the 2.2 swaps, easy to do and a much better engine IMHO. Larry

I have the same thing going on. I put a 2002 engine into a 2003 Baja. I picked up the correct intake manifold from CCR in Denver (Thanks, Rick). I'm planning on drilling another hole in the air box, about the same place as the intake temp sensor but on the other side. I plan on using the same rubber grommet at the temp sensor and a plastic hose fitting from Ace Hardware to connect a hose to the EGR pipe. I'll cut the EGR pipe so I can slide a hose over it and onto the hose fitting. All I need now is the correct EGR Pipe. The threaded hole on the intake is larger than the normal EGR pipes on the 95-99 engines. Anyone have a spare?
-
The only spring pulling on the Shifter that I know of is the external one. It's a little over an 1" long and hooks to the plate that is over the large dia rubber bushing on the shift support rod.

Go good Used Subaru Parts! Much less, you get the experience of removing them from a yard car and you have good Subaru Parts. I often find nice KYB struts complete with springs and top hats for $30 each at Self Serve Yards, like You Pull and Pay. Yes you should have an alignment when you are done. You can get it pretty close by pin punching the strut alignment bolts and using a string wrapped around the outside of all 4 tires. The front tires will have about an 1/8" of clearance at the rear of the tire between the string and the tire. Larry

You can move the bumper itself. The holes in the frame could be elongated and then move the bumper back. You have big trees there, you could chain it to a tree and go right to the metal frame of the bumper and give it a good pull. The frame tube built into the body is multi layer and without a frame puller I doubt you will get much. Moving the bumper aft is most likely your best bet. I have the 02 parting out, good rear, bumper, trunk lid, lights... Larry

Seats Yes and easy. You may have to switch over the seatbelt latch on the seat so it will work with the seatbelt that is in the car. Fenders - Not without a lot of work Dash - Not without a lot of work The Clutch itself would work, but you may have to switch from cable to hydraulic operation. -
Is you CEL on? I'd check for Codes. It may be that your neutral switch is out and the computer does not know when your trans is not in gear.
-
As long as the front and rear Diff ratios are the same you should be fine.
-
Check the output of the ALT and the connections and grounds. Computer may need to be reset as well.
-
Headlights will have to be from an Impreza 93-99 can be interchanged if you are willing to change out the marker lights and grill. Engine: Any 2.2 will work 90-98. If you can get one with the same EGR configuration that will help Subaru's are like Legos, plug and play for the most part.
