Legacy777

I'd suggest you ask in the engine management forum on nasioc http://forums.nasioc.com/forums

There is an internal screen on the transmission, but unless something has failed, and you have chunks in your transmission, you shouldn't have to worry about changing it. Torque split under "normal" straight line driving conditions on the automatic are 90/10. As slip is detected, torque split can change from 90/10 to 50/50 as needed. When you physically put the gear selector in 1, you force 50/50 torque split. I recommended that because it forces 50/50 torque split and would give you a better indication of whether the AWD is functioning. The LSD reference was because, if you are just looking at the driver's side wheels by sticking your head out the window, the passenger rear tire may be moving. Which is why I asked if someone was outside the vehicle observing.

That's bizzare. I don't know what would be causing the issue if you have the vehicle in park. I guess one thing you could try is jacking the car up off all four wheels. Run the car, and then come to a stop, and put it into park. See if you notice the wheels moving.

First, remove the rubber plug on the washer arm, and see if the nut is loose, or if it's in the linkage under the cowling.

You should be able to attach them to the board. That would provide a long term storage spot.

\ That's correct.

Ditto what Olnick said. You should be able to plug an OBD2 reader into it.

So you feel the car lurch when it's in park or drive? Does it happen immediately after you put the car in park? Or does it take some time?

That sucks that the legacies got plastic....they yellow and turn nasty over time.

Has the transmission fluid been changed/flushed recently? You may want to start with that. Have you tried putting the gear selector in 1 and seeing if you get more then one wheel peeling. Torque split will be 50/50 when the gear selector is physically in 1, and possibly 2. Are you having someone watch on the outside to see if the rear wheels are going? Also, you don't have LSD, so if you're only looking at one side, the other side could be spinning. josh

What format are they in? You should be able to attach them to this post.

One of the engineers at work put a set of train horns under the body of his wife's excursion. One of the mechanical guys helped him size an air tank for a 2 second burst.

Pretty sure the US models got plastic, not glass. I know this is the case for the legacies.

When I pulled mine I used a chain, and connected it to the loop/plate that the alternator bolt goes through, and the hole on the back. There may be a pic or two in these pics http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru/images/ej22t/

You may want to post in the meet & greet forum, the legacycentral bbs, and the northwest forums on nasioc.

bump. Anyone have any info to help Brian?

Do you know how the old temp sensor is wired up? I would assume if they're wired similarly you could use it.

Rebuilding a motor and doing it right isn't overly cheap. Most people aren't going to have the tools & skills, so they'd just rather replace it. I rebuilt my ej22t this past summer and subaru motors are a little more complicated then your standard inline engine IMO.

Thanks for the explanation. I haven't decided what my final turbo plans are, but I'll keep you in mind.

What year 2.2 legacy? The owner's manual says not to run 5w30 if you drive at highway speeds, higher rpm for long periods of time. Hogweed, care to elaborate why 10w40 is the worst oil?

Shouldn't be too bad. You should be able to drop the driveline, pull the seal, put a new one back in, and reassemble.

If it fits a later model subaru, it should fit your 90 legacy. Be aware that you will lose the controls for cruise control, and the horn may not be right....things to keep in mind.
