New here - '90 legacy tranny ?s/help
Legacy777 replied to bretgem's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXthey'll pretty much all work. The electronics have changed a little from year to year in how the TCU logic controls things, but you can pretty much swap trannies around fine, as long as the gear ratio matches. That's the most important part!

Help! Legacy transmission
Legacy777 replied to rockinroller's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXfirst thing I'd do is change the trans fluid....half the time the trans fluid is so nasty and contributes to the binding problems. You may want to have it power flushed also.

Coil Pack Resistance Testing
Legacy777 replied to intrigueing's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXAnything is possible.....like I said. Is the cam sensor code a steady, always on code? If you reset the computer, does it come back right away?

Coil Pack Resistance Testing
Legacy777 replied to intrigueing's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXhmmmm....this is the same car correct? Don't think a fuel pump would set off a CEL. Really not sure what the problem is....check the code and report back.

Coil Pack Resistance Testing
Legacy777 replied to intrigueing's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXassuming you performed the test correctly, the readings should be around those specs. If the coil pack isn't working right, it can cause a lot of problems. You can try to get a used one......I got my diamond for like 50 bucks, subaruparts or 1stsubaru should be around that price.

1st Gen Legacy tire question
Legacy777 replied to GLCraig's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe WRX uses a 205/55 r16 as OEM size. It will fit on the first gen legacies with the correct offset. With the stock WRX wheels, you can have a slight bit of rubbing on the strut. It's not much, however the chance is there. If you run a wheel with a little less offset then +52mm, the chances of rubbing on the strut should go away.

Coil Pack Resistance Testing
Legacy777 replied to intrigueing's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe coil packs on the 95's are the same as the diamond's found on the early gen legacy MT's. You'll find the specs and testing procedure here http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru_manual_scans/FSM_Scans/coilpacktest.jpg

MAF question
Legacy777 replied to gunablue's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe MAF does not have any tubes coming out/in it. The MAF is the silver round thing connected to the airbox. The thing you're pointing to is the pressure exchange solenoid, which controls boost and the ECU's barometric pressure readings. Post over the http://www.bbs.legacycentral.org Someone with a little more knowledge on the vacuum setup should be able to help. I think there's a sticky with the diagram.

Howdy And Seatbelt Question for A '91 Legacy
Legacy777 replied to Behemoth's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXUnfortunately the canadian belts are probably your only option. You could try some belts from a later MY legacy.....it might work.

Legacy777 replied to AussieIan's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYou can do the resistor mod.....you may want to squirt the solenoid and valve with some brake cleaner....it may be sticking...

A/C Compressor Bearing
Legacy777 replied to lefty42303's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI don't think you'll be able to do it.....I tried getting the clutch off, the bearing was knocking on mine.....couldn't do it. The new/used one I put in leaks.....so I'll get to do it again....yay....

Brake travel/Braided hoses?
Legacy777 replied to Setright's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI wouldn't touch that rod.....normally they are adjusted ok, and like keith mentioned, if you misadjust it....it'll really screw with things. I've played with more bias, pedal travel issues on my car and am quite familar with the long pedal travel. The correct solution is a larger bore MC. SS lines may help, but won't solve the problem. Look on the MC and see what size MC you have. Also, do you have ABS or non-abs? Are the calipers all stock? Have you bled the brake lines? Lastly, the newer imprezas may have a more slightly boosted brake booster, so you get less brake assist. Some people have swapped to the single diaphram brake booster to improve brake feel vs. the tandem booster.

90' Legacy wagon ?common problems?
Legacy777 replied to Lunatic728's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXcommon oil leaks are the oil filler o-ring, bolt grommets on the valve covers, and the rear o-ring on the passenger side cam cover. All easy things to change. Do plugs, wires, pcv valve, fuel filter, air filter, and change your fluids.

OK to run Legacy in 2WD?
Legacy777 replied to danvon's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXrunning in FWD mode for extended periods of time "may" and I say "may" cause premature failure of the duty c solenoid since with the fuse in, it's seeing a 12v constant signal. Normally it sees a varying pulsed voltage.

oil filter no.
Legacy777 replied to Sweden's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI'm sure they have a part #. However i don't think they are going to vary from country to country.

JC sports chip or similar
Legacy777 replied to Bmxpunk's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXAl used to work with Joel, however he's not affiliated with pdm. Al does his own sales and such. Like I said, Al's a good guy, I stopped and talked with him and bought a chip when I was going through denver. No I have not heard of anyone using the 2.8 chip. His chips have some pretty good features, especially if you do an aftermarket turbo kit....the chip I believe will hold timing in check since n/a cars typically have a lot more timing then turbo cars which can cause your engine to go boom when you slap a turbo on it. As for exhaust.....2 or 2.25. Being that it'sa 1.8.....I'm not quite sure. May want to ask around on nabisco to see what some of the other 1.8 people have done.

need Mechanic, Austin, TX
Legacy777 replied to aisha999's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI hate the traffic too....pisses me off something good, however I've got all the backroads pretty well down so I avoid most if not almost all of the really bad portions. I've lived here since July and don't remember the last time I've driven through the westheimer/post oak intersection. Big draw to the place I'm at now is that I have a pretty good sized garage and it's 5 min from work.

*Request* OBD1 plugs pic
Legacy777 replied to stant093's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXnot necessarily. If the ECU is getting a signal from another bad sensor which is causing the ECU to poorly adjust the IAC valve.....that would exhibit the same results when unplugging the IAC valve...but the valve isn't the problem. Try to find the connectors and go from there. I had a weird hi idle issue and of course dealer was of no help....traced it down to a little screw on the top of the throttle body which was letting too much air past the TB and was making the IAC useless since it was outside of its operating range to pull the idle back down.

JC sports chip or similar
Legacy777 replied to Bmxpunk's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXyou can get a chip from Al http://www.torquechip.com he's the one who makes them. or you can get a proecm chip from http://www.subaruplanet.com/ The jcsports chip is/was a torquechip. Al is a good guy, I've dealt and talked with him personally. I used one of the chips in my car for a little while. I think it did help, but I didn't like what it did with the auto tranny. Others have reported better results if you have a Manual tranny.
