firstwagon

Someone I know also suggested the clutch plates might be sticking and suggested adding a LSD additive to the transmision. Has anyone tried that? I know the cheap fix rarely works but I'm out of work now and really trying not to spend any money until I find a new job.

I have a 91 Legacy LS wagon AWD AT. Over the past year it's had less and less power going to the rear wheels. (more torque steer, more wheel spin in the rain). Last winter in the snow I could not tell any difference with the fuse in or out. I guessed the clutch pack was gone but as I was saving for a new car, I decided to just put up with the 2wd rather then invest the money in repairing it. The strange thing is now I'm starting to get random periods of torque bind. Putting the fuse does not make it go away but somethimes restarting the car does (I get 16 flashes of the power light when I do that). Sometimes it just goes away on it's own (hasn't done it in a couple weeks now). How can I have torque bind if I have no power going to the rear wheels and why does it only do it sometimes? any ideas? Thanks.

Put a fuse in the FWD holder under then hood on the passenger size near the firewall. It will disable the four wheel drive. That way you'll know if it the AWD or the trans.

Mine's a 91 Legacy

"Remove the air box, battery, and washer resivoir???? what a PITA!!" Interesting, I had no trouble on my 2.2. I didn't think the 2.5 would be that much wider. If you going to use platiums and leave them in a long time. Please, please, please... use anti- seize. I've had several used cars over where previous owners left plugs in too long without anti-seize. Pet peeve.... drives me nuts.

Can wheel bearings cause that? I get a slight vibration as well when I first touch the brakes but it goes away as I put more pressure on it.

I never found a book but I'm sure there is something, somewhere you can order. This all I have on it... http://www.endwrench.com/pdf/feb2004pdf/4EAT.pdf and http://www.endwrench.com/pdf/feb2004pdf/4EATPhase2.pdf

"Small trailers, pulled by small cars, really don't mix. I don't recommend it. I'd really advise going another way than in a hardshell trailer. " While I agree with you for the most part, towing a trailer with a small car is normal in other parts of the world....

It's a small Britsh travel trailer and when I bought it, a British friend of mine told me these are normally towed by " big cars" like my Legacy. I haven't tried it because I don't have a hitch on the Legacy, I also have a Grand Cherokee 4.0 and because I live in British Columbia where every road out of town leads to climbing a high mountain pass. If I were going to tow with the Legacy, I would stick with a pop up like the coleman. On windy days, even the Grand Cherokee stuggles with our trailer. Head winds make it hard to maintain speed and cross winds jerk the truck around. Good luck and have fun!

But this is leap year, don't we get to skip forward a year????

When I first saw the new Imprezza, I didn't like it. I had an image in my mind of what I wanted the new car to be and that wasn't it. However, a year later and now I like it more then the old one. Judging by how many of the new style I see on the road, so do a lot of other people (at least with the 5 door version). I was looking at one parked next to a Mazda3 the other day and the Subaru looks much more expensive. Hard to say why, just made me think of a premium small car as opposed to an economy car.

Actually he was a scientist. To be a scientist you have to objective and David has long since ceased to be objective. Like most enviromentists, he starts with a conclusion and looks for facts to support it. He only uses science to support his cause. Shame really, he used to be a respected figure.

The difference is Gore doesn't pretend to a scientist the way Suzuki does.

Why is it a benefit to burn food instead of gasoline? It's not even cleaner as it creates more pollution in it's production then gasoline. E85 is a joke. Here in Canada, the government is handing out big rebates for people who buy flexFuel vehicles and you can't even buy E85 here. Politically correct enviro nonsense at it's finest.

How long should we give them to correct the prices? 3 years?, 4, 5, 6? Subaru still things it's 2000 when our doller was around 60 cents. For the past couple years it's been around 85 to 95 cents but Subaru (and others) continue to rip off Canadians. Everyone was quick to raise prices as our dollar dropped but as it climbed they seemed to forget to make the same correction. Right now a WRX wagon is $33,895 in Canada but only $24,850 in the States. :mad: Why should Subaru make an extra $9000 profit off me?
