Should be fine, do you own the trailer? U-haul wold not do it. Again you as the driver have to leave enough space to safely stop and control your rig.

hg is there black oily stuff in the overflow bottle? if so hg are leaking

Drop the 2.2 into the Outback when the 2.5 goes.

96 2.2 is the better engine. The 95 should also have the same 2.2 unless it's an early 96 with auto trans. The 2.5 DOHC Head Gaskets fail often. 2.2 is much better and easier to work on. Don't take my word, pull a spark plug out of each engine. By the time your done you'll have your answer.

Subarus will idle high when cold 1200-1800 and the drop down to 800-500 or so. There are some difference in Auto or manual trans. Is the CEL on or have you checked it for codes even if the light is off. IAC controls idle speed.

Resistance check of the sensor will give you some info on it's condition. I've pulled the air intake and sometimes the throttle body for more room.

What did you pay for the Engine?

Depends what you mean by Flush! Some shops do a power flush where fluid is cycled back and forth under pressure to break deposits loose. This is almost always a bad idea! Flush = change the fluid. Lot's of threads on this. Drain and fill 3 times with short drives or allow the trans to pump out the old fluid by disconnecting a trans cooler line. Good idea, keeping the fluid new.

Most likely stuff in the track. You have to drop the headliner to get the sun shade back on the tracks. Time consuming but not too bad. Don't try pulling all the plastic trim when it's cold, they break more often.

I'd take the time to pull the timing covers and make sure the T-belt or gears are not the problem. www.car-part.com is another good source. $200-$300 for shipping is what I've paid in the past.

You pull and pay 2.2 $300 New T-belt, seals, plugs, valve cover gaskets $200 So for about $500 and your time you are going down the road for Years!

Make sure the noise is not a timing part that's loose. Does your better half's car go down the road at the speed limit? If so just be happy with the 2.2, so easy to work on, Reliable. I have the same 98 Outback 5sp with 2.2. I tow dolly's with Subarus in tow, The 2.2 gets the job done!
