but can something electronic fail and no give a CEL?

Actually, if i unplug the the tranmission connectors, won't that determine if its a sensor issue, because it SHOULD make it 50/50 correct? But will i damage anything drviing like this, to test it and see if it engadges AWD?

What i want to know, is if the two speed sensors can cause the AWD system to fail, because my 93 leg has the same problem. i wonder if there is a way to test the system by stopping the 12-14v being passed to the solenoid, therefore engadging the AWD system, and if it still fails, then i found the issue. Because i brought my car to a tranny shop and they "CLAIM" the transmission was fully rebuilt, but it doesn't sound true. I'm going to go to subaru and they will tell me what exactly is creating this issue. If there is a sensor that is causing a issue, ill report it to you guys, but it sounds more like i got screwed, and the clutches were NOT replaced, oh well.

You think in the future the car will be a good investment? Maybe we should buy one, keep it for MANY MANY years, then sell it, and get rich :-p

well early legacies in europe had them.

i think it was a door design issue, so thats the only way they couldnt make the window roll down, and less or no wind noise.

yes thats it!!!!!!! COMON! But of course engineering part is 999999999x better in the SVX

Awsome! so what oil did u use in the car for most of its life? synthetic? and whats wieght?

i would think its hardened, but im sure if u get a really good quality screw remover you shouldn't have any issues. Hopefully that bolt will come out!

Wow, never knew how special the SVX is, but still i prefer the looks of my 93 legacy wagon. That car however, it reminds me of a, hmm, whats the name of it!!!!!!!!! I think its by plymouth:confused:

it sounds like a simple solution, you are talking about the bolt infront of the harmonic pulley correct? Can you just use a screw remover, however u need to get a short drill, or remove the engine, or remove the rad. Then get a new bolt? correct?

I have almost 300,000km but im running 3 new bearings, that went bad at 255,000KM and 1 original in the back still going strong Dealer told me, they have had cars with original bearings last up to 500,000km. But i am running 1 pre owned bearing, because a retard at a transmission shop installed used bearings, what a $%&

wait, when u say that, you mean the entire wheel wobbles every way?? Or u mean with the steering, might be the bushing for the steering. If it wobbles as much as u say, i suggest not driving it:eek:

Well, i went in, and i heard ALOT of bull ************, and my dad didn't help, he just agreed with ALL the BS, and the guy said alot of crap, then i asked about the AWD HE SAID its SUPPOST to bind a little with a AWD drive when u make a tight turn, is that correct? He also said there is no such thing as a Drive Solenoid C, and he went ON AND ON AND ON!!!!!!! If my dad doesn't care fine, but still. Then i said, well explain why my abs light came on after your guys replaced the wheel bearings, he said well they can easily be "OVERHEATED", BUT it didn't do it before we brought it in! he said SO much crap. but the guy who was at the desk giving us the crap, and servicing, he got fired,to many people had problems, and such. THEN i asked why the flex plate kept cracking, but the guy told me its was the torque converter cracking, he said do you know what a flex plate is? It is part of the engine, and it attaches to the starter, then used words to confuse us! i had nothing to support what the hell he was talking about, then we talked about the AWD unit, he said there is no gear in there, i said i don't know whatever, then talked crap and said all AWD units are the "EXACT SAME" they just brign in power when the front wheels slip, i said, im pretty sure it runs 10 percent all the time. THEN i said why does the car shift at 6250 RPM not 6500RPM he said a car CAN NOT shift at redline, i didnt want to argue, once again nothing to support his comment, he said these engines can only operated in 3000 to 4000 rpm range, and no more. :-\ Tell me whats right and wrong. The car is being dropped off soon, NOW i need to confirm what is causing the knocking noise inside the car, when/or after u pass 80km/h never makes the noise when u stop, and NOT consitent, peopel said its mostlikely the flex plate. I don't know. I am being told it has nothing to do with the torque converter, but i have no clue if it actually is.:-\

is liberty model 89-94 in australia? i think it is, if so the power light should flash upon start up indicating there is a trouble code, which can be easily checked. Usually when this happens it seems like a good idea to check that the wireing harness is plugged in correctly, also some like to do a tranny flush, but that can be determined if you have not to much mileage. Good luck. If it is duty solenoid C its a good idea while your in there to do the clutch packs as well.

are u running anti freeze or water? With water you do not get the proper lubrication, and did u get any overheating issues at all? And are u 100 percent sure its actually the water pump?

it doesn't matter but is it a manual? you try push starting it(if its a manual)? Worth a shot, battery might show 12v + but doesn't mean the correct amps are being produced. Oh and when u attached the jumper cabled, did u leave them for a while before starting it?

does the radio run off the same circuit There is no point.

makes me want to trade in the old legacy(but i never will wasted to much on it:mad:), seeing the outback Second pic is better, i prefer those rims,not the first pic rims.

I still prefer the outback :-\ But the forester has a top speed of 140mph right, is it govenered

WOW, never saw that one, it is pretty nice, but i must admit its a little boxy :-\

Me as well would prefer the outback it looks SO hot! compared to the forester i prefer the outback because it produces the same power without having to worry about a turbo, and turbo lag. THEN theres the legacy. They all look yummy.

I hope your car is alright, sounds like what happened to me No more transmission shops for me.:-\

does he meen the shifter moves, and doesn't engadge D, but i think with the 95 it has aa shifter button, u press the brakes and push the shifter button and move the shifter.

That doesn't sound normal, i started my car in -40C and the car started like normal, and shifted into D right away, no need to let the car warm up, it is fuel injected, tops 30 seconds on those temps, and im gone.
