  1. I have my Subaru parked at work in Colorado Springs and the Rabbits have crawled up on top of the engine and eaten the wires. Missing on 2&4. Plug wires have been changed, so I'm going to look closer at the coil wires. Lots of grass and bushes around, I don't know why they like to get up on the top of the engine. Crazy!
  2. Who processes the USMB Donations and Orders? I made a donation and ordered a Sweatshirt and Tee Shirt. I got a receipt email, but never a shipment email or Tracking #. Have not received the order? Thanks, Larry
  3. Find a new Subaru Mechanic. The engine flex plate is bolted to the crank. The Torque Converter is bolted to the flex plate and splined to the transmission. All bearings are deep in the transmission or the front diff.
  4. You have to hook up an O-scope to read the input to the ECU. Just hit the Junk yard and grab a couple.
  5. Make sure the rear lower A-arm mount bolts do not cross thread when you install them. You'll have it back on the road in no time.
  6. First, I'd ask what bearing he is talking about? Auto or Manual Trans? What symptoms are you experiencing?
  7. If you provide a good ground does it work? www.brighterideas.com You meter can lie to you. Larry
  8. No FWD fuse on a 5sp trans. Not worth the possible problems, get a flatbed truck or take new tires to her.
  9. Yes or from the bottom. Use a 6 point socket! Make sure you read on seating the TC and you should inspect and or change the TC seal on the trans.
  10. The 3m headlight cleaner is good. Also make sure your bulb connectors are clean and tight. The cover is glued to the housing, it won't come off.
  11. Problem is that area is 3 or 4 layers of skin. When you try to weld it, it's going to give you problems.
  12. Quick fix for Torque Bind, a fixable transmission problem. Search Torque Bind and you will fine lots of good info.
  13. Search PCV Valve. Put a New Subaru PCV on and make sure the vent lines are not plugged. The cup seal on the back corner of the oil pan can also fail and cause high oil consumption.
  14. It should be fine, you may want to have someone watch for trans fluid leaks. Stand to the side or follow you.
  15. Yes, 80/90 W gear lube. I've been using the Walmart syn. blend (cause it pours much faster) for years with no issues.
  16. Replace the complete shaft as they are balanced. 95-99 Legacy L or Limited will be the same.
  17. 95-99 half shafts are the same, some of the newer ones have the ABS ring on the half shaft. YPAP is fine, just make sure the boots are good and the overall condition is good. Stick to Subaru Parts is best.
  18. The finish on the Subaru idlers outer skin seems much better, so the idea has some merit. I second the thoughts above. A jig to set the correct depth would be the best. Time and Money, how much would you save and how long does it take? Larry
  19. Shawn at http://retroroo.com/ CCR use to the link to MWE, but I don't see it on their new site: http://ccrengines.com/ Google them and found this: I recently contacted MWE Axles and they asked me to post their new contact info. Formerly: “MWE Axles”. 2595 S. Salida Street. Aurora, Colorado. 80013 Phone: 1-303-522-8070 Email: fw1@juno.com or mwolf1303@juno.com
