Legacy777

I really don't believe the HVAC system on the legacies is vacuum actuated. I'm pretty sure they use stepper motors. More then likely the solder joints in the HVAC unit are cracked. You can take the unit apart and resolder them. Check out the HVAC sticky in the body & chassis forum on www.bbs.legacycentral.org

I don't know why they list them for only those models, they should work just fine on the older models as well. The only thing I noticed on my 91 turbo legacy transmission is that with the plate/bracket that holds the bushing & front mount to the transmission, there was a little gap/clearance. I don't know if this was because of the bushing or the transmission. I just put a big washer there to take up the clearance.

A friend of mine has an 05 outback wagon. I don't think she's had any real issues. I think the tire monitoring system did illuminate a light when the tire was low...but I believe it reset itself. Has the light only come on that one time, or is reoccuring more frequently?

In addition, the base adapter piece has an internal shaft that can break. http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru/images/speedocablebase.jpg Get your speedo working, and the fans will work again.

No that diagram is for a 90 Legacy The I/O is for the AWD cars.

I don't believe there is any pin identifying whether the TCU is for AWD or FWD. So I sort of believe you'll need a different TCU. I do believe I still have my FWD TCU off my 90 Legacy if interested. You will also need to swap the trans mount as well. Again, I've got a brand new FWD auto trans mount I was going to put in, but never did, so if interested, I've got that too. Just let me know Also, if interested, here's TCU I-O http://main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru_manual_scans/FSM_Scans/TCU_I-O_page1.jpg http://main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru_manual_scans/FSM_Scans/TCU_I-O_page2.jpg

You need to replace the door holder assembly. It's not hard to do, and isn't too expensive. I did this for both front doors on my legacy. They wouldn't hold the door open for anything.

These bushings can be a real pain to install, especially the rear one. I had to remove the joint on my impreza, and pull the whole linkage out. However I replaced both the front & rear mount bushings, put a new joint in, and replaced the bushings at the pivot point for the arm and lever. It feels MUCH better. I'm going to be helping a friend replace the joint piece for her 96 legacy. The bushings are shot. From what I found, there's three different styles of joint setup. The old metal ones found on the first gen legacies, the one where the joint is half metal, and half bushing, and the newer one where it has bushings on both parts of the joint.

I'll try and get to that tonight.

Cool. Well let me know if you happen to still need it. Josh

Have you replaced the coolant temp sensor any time recently?

Noah, Shoot me a PM or email so I remember. I got tied up with other things last night and forgot.

Do you have the owner's manual? I can probably scan that page of the owner's manual if nobody else has anything. It'll be for the US based cars, and I don't know if there's any difference the overseas models & ours.

He did mention the calipers. Yes, only the calipers are useful for a rear disc conversion for AWD vehicles

They should be roughly the same/similar. There are probably going to be some differences, but shouldn't be much.

I've got the actual manuals. I'll try and take a look at them when I get home.

There are different cables between the model years. Some have an adapter in the middle, and others are just one long cable. However they should be swapable. I never swapped speedo cables when I did my 5spd conversion. So I'm running the cable meant for my 90 4eat on a 91 5spd transmission.

The idle switch is incorporated into the TPS. Readjust the idle switch/TPS using these instructions. If you still have the code/issue, check the wiring and/or replace the TPS. If you replace the TPS, you need to adjust/calibrate the new one using these same instructions. http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru_manual_scans/FSM_Scans/TPS_testing3.jpg

Yeah, the 92-94 5mt's have a 4.111 final drive ratio.

What year & model car is it? Have you tried clearing the codes, and seeing what comes back?

Is that 1.4" taller the overall increase? If so, the increase by the strut would only be .7", and that's where the clearance issues would be. I guess you'll have to take a look and see.

The 92-94 n/a 4eat transmissions have the same final drive ratio as the 91-94 turbo 4eat transmissions. So as long as you swap between those years, you should be fine.

Ken, I've purchased axles from them in the past, and had an issue with a dust cap coming loose and leaking grease out. They do have a lifetime warranty on their reman'd axles. However I do agree I think their QC has gone down.....and I probably will look elsewhere in the future.

Yes, internally they are different. They are beefier. They have a few extra clutch packs to handle more power being put out by the turbo motor.

Probably...but hopefully someone else can confirm.
