Tires should be the same size with even wear. The max Dia. difference is 10%.

First, I always remember if it's not broken don't fix it! Studs don't fail and are not a regular maintenance item. Did you properly torque the lug nuts? You may have damaged the hub flange. Details on the removal and installation process you used would help.

Clutch hose replaced? System air free?

Dirt cheap and then drop a 95 2.2 into it.

Agreed. While driving and keeping the eyes on the road it hard to pick everything up. Loss of power. I don't think electric dies as I still had gauges. Just strange that the CEL is not being set. Thanks

Engine issue, no power came back twice today. 1st time I dropped it into 3rd. Power came right back. 2nd time it had no impact but power came back in 10 sec. or so. p

While you are in there tighten the oil pump back plate screws and replace the o-ring.

No luck, still looking.

Thanks, I'll take another look. Interesting that the text says side of the driver's seat, but the picture shows the kick panel area.

I changed out the gauge cluster, it's nice to have speed back. The ABS light is on. I looked for the 6 pin black connector and jumper pins, but did not see them. Anyone know how to pull the ABS codes on an 05 Impreza RS wagon? Thanks

There should not be much pressure on the button to make it brake? Have you replaced the complete handle? Pretty easy and many years are interchangeable. Hit a yard and grab one.

2006 or older IMHO As GD has said many times, the new stuff is not worth it.

How can you see the crank mark w/o removing the cover? If you line up the cam marks and pull the crank sensor you can see the crank gear mark through the hole.

You can pull the left and right timing belt outter covers and the crank sensor to see all the marks without pulling the center cover.

No issues the last 3 days. 30 mile round trip daily.

Power steering belt rubbed a hole in the upper radiator hose a couple of weeks ago. A quick fix. This thing was hit in the front as some point. I pulled the radiator support out a bit and it's been fine. Today going down the freeway, it seemed as if the engine cutout completely a few times. It always came back to life in a second. No codes logged. The temp went up a little but other than that nothing. I checked under the hood when I got home and everything seemed OK.

Within 10% of dia.

Transmission Switch harness. The plugs should be on the main harness coming out of the firewall.

Hard to say, once someone cut into the wires. You'd need an O-scope to read out the cam sensor as it outputs a signal. They hardwired the cam sensor into the harness? You can check the Timing Belt by pulling both side covers and the crank sensor and looking down the hole to make sure the crank mark lines up.

Transmission Drain and Flush today made significant improvements on the transmission torque bind. I always pull the radiator trans coolant hose and let the trans pump out a gallon at a time after I drain and fill the transmission. After 3 gallons the flush is complete and trans serviced.

I pulled the dash gauge cluster apart and found the FWD, ABS, LO and Hold bulbs missing from the circuit board. Why do people do it. Fix it Right or let people know there is a fault!

I put the FWD fuse in today, no FWD light, but the speedometer of the cluster is out as well. The AT Temp light is not flashing after starting the car. More digging.

I picked up an 05 Impreza, low mileage 60K. The Speedo does not work and it looks like the milage readout may have burnt out. I'm thinking a new gauge cluster. - The Timing belt has not been replaced, it's low mileage but old. I think it the idler bearings and seals should be changed. I'm also a fan if it's not broken don't fix it! Your thoughts? - Auto trans had a bit of torque bind, by feel. Not flashing trans temp light on start. The car did sit for years, so I hope the clutches were just drided out and it will free up with some mileage and a flush/TransX treatment. What do you think?

Either should work. If the pan is dropped use the correct sealer when you put it back on. If you drop the trans, make sure you do not dent the pan. Even a small dent in the pan can block the fluid pickup inside the trans. Use a large/wide block of wood to protect the pan from the jack.

Make sure the throttle plate is all the way closed. I'd get the airbox and all hoses back on/connected.
