Sorry I never updated earlier. Thanks to all the great info here I was able to pull it all apart and rebuild it. The input shaft bearings were shot, but everything else actually looked pristine. I replaced the bearings and seal, and many miles later it's still working great. The wosts part of it was hammering on the shifter shaft to get it back through the case. Definately a job worth doing if you enjoy knowing your Suby better though. Thanks everyone!

Thanks so much for the great info! Just got the parts and have the transmission out. I'll be splitting the case and trying it tonight!

Finally found the answer to where to get parts. This site helped me get the part numbers: http://opposedforces.com/parts/ And this site had a part # lookup and good prices: http://subaruonlineparts.com/repair-parts.php

Thanks, definitely planning on replacing that one too.

Thanks. I'm really interested in learning to work on transmissions, and I learn best by getting things apart and looking around inside. I just have no idea where to get the bearings that I know I'll need (or other worn parts that I might find in the process.)

Great write up! I'm thinking it's time to replace my input shaft bearings- lots of noise, and now it's hopping out of 4th and 5th gear. Any advice on where to get the bearings and seals? (I'm guessing Subaru dealer?) Thanks!

Yeah, got it pretty cheap on ebay from a guy who made custom pipes. It will be a lot of work for 20 HP (maybe a little more with bigger fuel injectors), but I'm sure I'll learn a lot. I'll take the risks on the '95 and hopefully by the time I can afford a used WRX I'll know enough to play with that and not blow it up. I'm not going to start the turbo project till it warms up a little and I can enjoy the work without shivering in the cold. The clutch could use replacing, so I figured it would be better to put one in that can handle a little more than stock HP- nothing too fancy (or expensive), just decent quality aftermarket.

Maybe I have the engine # wrong- from an 1800 GL turbo, at least according to the ad on Ebay- http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7945820992&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT Seems to be all there. Basically I'm looking for a clutch kit that grabs a little harder than stock and won't slip. If I rev up and drop the cluth on a fast break in traffic sometimes it slips a little- has for 2 years and hasn't gotten worse, I assume it's just not the best quality clutch or the pressure plate springs are too weak.

I'm estimating maybe 180HP or so- it's a custom kit using a turbo from an EJ18T- I want to run very conservatively- hoping to get away with only modifying the stock fuel management with an SAFC. I just want a little more pep without blowing anything up. I was planning on installing the cluth myself, but $600 sounds like a good deal- where is your shop located (anywhere near NJ?) Thanks!

Hi Everyone! I'm new to this forum, but I'm hoping someone can give me advice on which clutch might be good to put in my '95 Legacy wagon (EJ22 2.2 liter.) I'm looking for a clutch that can handle a little more HP than stock- I'm planning on installing a turbo and running low boost- not looking to add too much HP, but I'm looking for a clutch that can handle a little more HP than stock and won't slip. Also, I want to use the stock flywheel. Any suggestions? Thanks! -Jim
