My 98 forester's front seats are in bad shape, but I have found 2 front seats from a 96 legacy outback. Are they direct swap? Thanks

Is the 95 Legacy came with pre wired for fog lights? I saw somewhere you can buy the OEM fog light kit for MY 95

I was about to order 4 sp60 tires until I see the white strip side wall style??? What is this? I thought they all come with black??? Also saw the size of 215/70/15 is $60 per tire( $3 less than 205/70/15) Will I do any harm to the AWD system if I increase the width? Please help Thanks

I am interested in the Sp60 as well. Sounds like they have the rebates till the 20th and the price range is pretty good. Anyone else has any input?

Do you think the one out of a forester would fit? I have a 98 forester and I know the local junk yard has one as well. I can take some pics of the forester if that help?

I sold my impreza a while ago and I removed the criuse control before that. My 93 impreza was 1.8 liter with original engine and auto trany. Subaru might have changed the set up from MY 97 and on, is your outback sports stick or auto? If that make any difference?

Pics are in my photos Let me know if they are helpful

What year is your impreza? I have a whole cruise control set from a 94 FWD and I fitted it in a 93 impreza AWD with no problem. I will take a measurement for you later tonight and post some pics as well.

So Gary Do you put the two(TC and the shaft) together before you slide them into the trany OR you slide the shaft in the trany first then try to put the circlip into the TC??? And do you put a quart of ATF into TC? If so is it too heavy to manuver(seating the TC)??? Thanks

Any update on your situation? I had to deal with Geico a while ago when someone (who was insured with Geico) hit my audi when it was parked on the street. Geico has a reputation to low ball. They dont go by kelly blue book, they have so called the CCC system they use to pay for their clients:mad:

Thanks:)

Here is the picture of the shaft and the picture of TC and the shaft together held by the C clip Please note the 2 notches on the side of the shaft are to accomondate the C clip. Hope this help someone as well

I ran into the same problem(when removing TC, the shaft would come out with the TC). Thats why I did my search and found your thread, but without the pics. I later found out there is a C clip that holds the TC and shaft together. Looks like I have to install the shaft onto the TC before put them back in the trany??? Thanks again everyone!!! BTW, how to I post pictures here in the thread???

So I got this 4EAT Trany out of a 98 Forester from the junk yard. I pulled the torque converter out, but the TC shaft also came out with it and looked like the shaft was held to TC by a snap ring??? Is this how it is suppose to be??? So when its time to seat the TC, do I fit the shaft on to the TC first and then install them back to trany??? Please help

I cant see any of these pictures you posted??

The donor was hit in the front, engine and trany was pushed inward about half inch since the trany mount was pushed back a little. I guess the dowel pin hole broken could be caused by the accident, good to hear it has little or no affect on the installation. I will keep everyone updated. Thanks

I found a wrecked 98 Forester at a local junk yard( pick and pull) and I need the 4EAT trany. A friend and I accidently cracked and broke one of the holes that bolted to the engine( with the pin) during removal.. Is this going to affect anything? Is the trany trashed? Pictures are in my photos in the header above .The broken hole is located below the starter. Any advice? Thanks

Glad to see you have good results with Trans X. I dont have trany problem but might as well put one in as routing maintenance. Thanks

My strut mounts( 96 legacy outback) are bad, bearings inside were seized. I took the bad ones off, and now I couldnt get the coil spring to compress enough to install the good strut mount. I used the clamp type of coil spring compressor from Frieght Harbor, but it could not do the job right. Any advice??? Thanks

What cause it to crack? My 98 forester with noisy front differential just developed a couple of cracks on the bottom part of the case, diff oil driped down all over the exhaust pipe and made horrible smoke and smell on highway. Can I use JB weld to temporary repair until I can find a used trany? Has anyone had this problem before? Thanks

I need the whole unit that bolts onto the steering column with security bolt. It was removed when I got the forester(stolen)

I need the whole ignition switch cylinder assembly for my 98 forester. It was removed from the car when I got it. Today i saw a 95 legacy with whole assembly with key at junk yard and wonder if its going to fit in the forester? Can anyone help??? Thanks a lot

I still dont know at this point, but I think insurance fraud was the reason as Reveeen mentioned. Because a few day after I got the car, the differential case started to leak( very noisy to start with). Trany swap soon.

I found this Trany Jack on Harbor freight http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=3185 my concern is the bottom of trany(trany pan) is not flat, so can the trany seats on the jack been stable enough for me to shake and pull on without falling off or just slide around on the jack even with chains and straps tie around the trany? Or there is a special adaptor made for only subaru 4EAT trany? Thanks again

I did some reading about trany removal. I dont have the correct tools for the job. Where can I buy these tools and what do I need? I do have the basic tool set. I know so far I will need 1)trany jack, 2)trany adapter plate( is there one made specially for 4EAT?) 3)Belt straps to secure trany on the jack? anything else??? Thanks
