96 Impreza Outback 2.2... parts swapping
lmdew replied to hamannthorn's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXHeadlights 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.

Shift stick in 1990 legacy fell off?
lmdew replied to ihaveacar's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXEasy fix, unbolt it from the Trans and pull the support rod out of the rear rubber mount. Grab a good used one from the yard.

Selling used Subarus
lmdew replied to ThosL's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXWith the high mileage if you get $500 for it, take it. Think, if the person who buy is puts a 2.2 in it and takes care of everything else that it needs (Shocks, Brakes, Struts...) and then try's to sell it what would you pay for a 99 with 300K on it? If they get $2500 they would be lucky. If they put $1000 in parts into it and their time they are about breaking even. I use to pay up to $1200 for a 97-99 Outback in otherwise good condition. Now I'm not picking them up unless they are in the $500-600 range. I love working on Subaru's but have to at least break even at $20 an hour for labor.

1997 OBW Drive Line "Issues"
lmdew replied to montanaboy27's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXBe careful when you pull it. The wire is short and it has to be disconnected as you remove the tail shaft. Also make sure you have removed the speed sensor on the tail shaft.

What's the best WRX to buy for less than $15,000?
lmdew replied to CATM93's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXGo out and rent your sports car for a week at a time. Get your speeding tickets, pay them off and save the rest. Enjoy the Subaru's you have. Turbo's are a pain to work on and expensive.

99 Outback Driver's side mirror bracket?
lmdew replied to Suzam's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXJust go to a yard and get a complete mirror. You will have to remove the inner door panel as well to get to the connector. www.car-part.com is a good search tool for full service yards. If you have a self serve yard where you can take tools in and remove the mirror yourself that is the way to go.

4EAT transmission heavy fluid loss
lmdew replied to 95legoguy's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXFirst clean and find the source of the leak! - hoses - rear seal - front input shaft seal If you can get it up on a rack, it will be much easier.

Rims patterns question
lmdew replied to minimac1010's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXNope Lug spacing is different. The Outback is 5x100 as are most other Subaru's other than the STI & SVX. TireRack.com is always s good place to look up basics on wheels.

Help lining up crankshaft and cams on 99 Legacy 2.2 motor
lmdew replied to LeolaPA's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXBasically, turn the cams to where the valves are closed, no pressure on the cam gear and then you can turn the crank until the index mark on the back tooth of the crank gear lines up with the tick mark under the crank sensor. When you have the crank set, line up the cams. When you compress the belt tensioner do it slowly and so it's in the same position as installed - vertical. Turn everything over by hand several times to check for interference. If it's good, start her up. Then put a dollar bill up to the tail pipe, if it gets sucked back to the pipe, you have a bent valve.

Clutch Chatter on newer clutch
lmdew replied to gravitate's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYou rebuilt the engine and now you have higher compression - more breaking effect. I doubt it's the clutch if everything else about the clutch is OK. If the pressure plate was tight up against the flywheel and the centering tool slid in an out with ease it should be fine. I'd look at your drive shaft u-joints and then the rest of the drive line. Using the engine as a brake is not the best thing for it anyway, IMHO That's what brakes are for.

1990 Legacy Sedan Back Seat Fold Down?
lmdew replied to ihaveacar's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIt depends on the trim level. Some did, some did not. Look in the trunk you should be able to tell.

changing a clutch without pulling the motor
lmdew replied to cnndad's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX6 one way 1/2 dozen the other. If you have any other engine work that needs to be done, pull the engine. At the very least you want to reseal the rear separator plate on the back of the engine under the flywheel. You can drop the trans, but then the other work is harder.
