Hey guys im currently doing a clutch replacement and since it has over 200k miles on it i just bought a new flywheel from Napa and i didnt notice that it was missing the center piece where there has 6-8 holes for the flywheel bolts...i'll upload pics down below. this flywheel has the center peice this flywheel does NOT have the center piece from napa.... Now my question is do i return it for a flywheel that has the center piece or am i suppose to buy the center piece and press it in? a quick response would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again US community!

I tend to count on my male folks to let me know when to stress about my car or not. Left to my own devices every little noise would get my heart rate up. Well, now my rear differential tried to explode on me. Can't even drive the Baja up the driveway to get it into the garage. Something about the clutch not having enough friction. The boys are coming round for beers and car work later so it is about to get pulled all apart. For now I have one picture of the crack in the rear differential. You'll note that there is oil actively leaking out of the rear differential so it wasn't that I lost lubrication and then it broke. Seems to me like one of those things that doesn't ever really happen. Anyone got any pointers or potential causes of the failure?

Hello All, I'm experiencing some noise from my manual transmission (i think) during the recent cold snap in northern Vermont. The car is a 09' with 100,000 miles on it.The noise only happens when I'm on the throttle and loading the engine, stops completely as soon as I lift off the gas. This only happens when it is <5°F, this morning it was -12°F and it was very loud. I would describe the noise as a knocking or clacking. There are also two levels to the sound. Under light throttle I have one noise, and under hard throttle I have a different, louder, worse sounding noise. I get the noise even after letting the engine warm up completely, which leads me to believe the noise is in the gear box, as this does not warm up while idling. Also, the noise does go away after 10-15 minutes of driving. It seems to happen in all gears and does not happen when I rev the engine in neutral. From the driver seat, the noise seems to come from directly below the center console, maybe a bit in front of the shifter. I have replaced the transmission fluid, maybe 15,000 miles ago with Subaru extra-s fluid. Has any one else experienced these symptoms? -
I have a 98 Impreza. A little while back it started popping out of 4th while driving thrn 3rd and 5th followed. First question what would cause this? Second question I was going to take it to my mechanic to get the transmission checked. It backed out fine went into first fine, but when I tried to go in second it would not go in gear and would not go into any gear after that. What would cause that? I am mechanically retarded, the second sounds like a clutch issue, but I'm lost on the first issue. The car only has about 135k miles on it. Any info would be greatly appreciated -
Hi all, I'm wondering what's going on with my CVT in my 2014 XV. This happens only occasionally and in similar situations. In manual mode, and 2nd gear, hitting the + paddle sometimes does not initiate an upshift. This is with both the upshift and downshift arrows visible in the display, and generally above 3,000 RPM and below 5,000 RPM. So the car remains in second gear and revs increase. When I hit the paddle again, it upshifts. It tends to happen after cruising slowly in 2nd gear for a couple hundred feet in traffic, then accelerating. Any thoughts from you guys? Thanks! Robert

New to Subaru, so bare with me. Im buying my buddys wifes 99 2.5 RS coupe. Shes an idiot who ran it till it blew up and now needs a new motor. I have a line on an STi motor and tranny, but not sure if the tranny will fit in the RS. Anyone know if it will fit or what needs to be changed so that it will? -
I have a 2003 subaru baja (automatic) and have recently been experiencing what I believe to be a transmission problem. When in idle the car vibrates more than when in park or neutral. Also, when I come to a complete stop after driving for a bit the car has problems accelerating. It will stutter in between gears. I alleviate this issue by letting off the gas then trying to accelerate again. When this happens there isnt any distinct noise, the only thing that happens is the car shakes. Any guess on what I might be experiencing? -
My legacy has recently began losing 3rd and 4th gears after driving beyond 20 miles or so. The ATF is good. I believe the problem is electronic and replaced the vehicle speed sensor (top passenger side of AT). The code I retrieve is for the output speed sensor circuit. (I am beginning to see my solution as I type) Has anyone else experienced this problem? I am hoping that it is a simple wire harness fix or sensor swap. Are all Gen 1 sensors interchangeable in the AT? (i.e. can I swap a sensor from a '99 AT to my '97?) -
So i was driving my 87 GL turbo, with the part-time (push button) 4wd 5-speed, and my front CV axle had been going out for a while, but finally earlier today did the dramatic "Crunch... POW!!" earlier and wouldn't drive in front wheel drive so I had no choice but to drive home in 4wd (Rear wheel drive) for about 15 miles. It drove the whole way perfectly smooth and it barely made any clicky click sounds around corners my concern is if this could have damaged my front Diff. or the Center Diff?? And what transmissions can be easily swapped in, I have an RX tranny, a non-turbo D/R 5speed from an 87 GL, and another non-turbo part-time 4wd 5speed in an 86 DL -

I have an '82 GL 5 speed turbo wagon, 4 x 4, 350,000 miles, same tranny. It worked great 2 days ago, except the clutch acted like maybe a bad throw-out bearing because the clutch/car would shake a little when starting out in first gear. That problem has been going on for 2 years. It has not impcted driving. So I drove it into the garage 2 nights ago. This morning it starts right up then they symptoms get wierd: I can't move the car, like something is holding onto the tranny or wheels. 1. Stick shift "feels" normal and seems to move into each gear, stopped in the garage. 2. If in nuetral and you let the clutch out, car acts like it is in a fwd gear (1 or 2),.. but stick is in nuetral position 3. I put it in reverse and it won't move, like tranyy is saying reverse, but something else is preventing that. 4. Try to start car with clutch out, but in nuetral position,.. no go. IT wont start, acts like something is holding engine back, but starter will turn engine. 5. I looked under car for obvious linkage issue and I dont see any. 6. Hand brake is off and verified rear wheels free. Has throw-out bearing failure casued this? Internal transmission failure? differential? is there a front differential, I thought that was just the tranny. Help!

I have an 89 GL that I just purchased from a tow yard. Everything seems to be in good order except the transmission will only engage in 4wd, and only the rear wheels engage. It is the push button type transmission. Any ideas what may be the problem? -
I love my 1996 Subaru Imprezza and want to do everything prudent to keep it alive. But, after the garage told me it wasn't worth fixing (has 276,000 miles and needs $1200 worth of engine work....major oil leak and smoke under hood), I started asking around. A friend told me to find out what the average life expectancy of the transmission was before investing the money...no reason to fix the engine if the transmission is just about to go! Any one got any ideas as to the life of the transmission??? -
So here it goes. Driving down the road turn a corner go to shift into a gear (manual Trans) 95 subaru outback wagon. nothing happens, acts like I shifted into neutral and wont come out of it. clutch works fine, shifter goes through all gears fine but nothing engages in transmission. No prior trouble and no noise, definatly not the noise you you hear when your transmission goes out. Just sounds like its in neutral. So we get it up on a jack and look. It looks as though something that runs from the shift linkage to the transmission has come out. Anyone have any ideas. I see a lot of mud in this picture we have had a crazy muddy season and I had no idea that the car wash I go through does such a bad job but hopefully someone can see this and give me some input. Do you think this is external to the transmission and can just be put back in an secured possibly a missing clip of some sort? Is there a part missing that holds it in the hole shown? Is it something that has to be re attached inside the transmission which would involve removing the transmission? Any input would be great. New to Subarus always drove Ford Trucks so this is all new. These are the notes taken by my husband to give to Mechanic but we thought if we could fix ourselves we would. The shifter will go through and into all gear positions and feels as well as sounds like it is engaging correctly. Girl friend says it feels no different now then when it was working. You can also do same with engine running, no grinding or difference at all. You can rotate the wheels by hand with it engaged in any gear position with no change in resistance compared with doing same rotating while in neutral. The clutch cable and fork and slave cylinder(?) appear to be working same as ever and feel no different in her opinion. Subaru - 1995 Outback - 200K+ - 4cyl - Manual this is what it looks like if it were this is how it looks now unattched attached Any help would be much appreciated

Ok so I cant find anything in my two soobie owners manuals about it so I thought I would ask the awesome soobie geeks on the fourms about it. My question is, do the older gen subarus have a breather tube or a vent for the transmission? or is the dipstick hole the vent? And if they do have a vent where is it? -
Ok so my 1984 Wagon standard tranny is leaking a fair amount, (about two to three tablespoons every 24hrs i would guess) all the fluid is collecting around/on the drain plug and then it drips onto the exhaust pipe below. I have been regualry checking the dipstick and it is still saying its full, (I just redid the fluid) so thats a good thing. So far I have added STOPLEAK to combat the leaking but just in case that doesnt clear it up in the next few days does anyone else have any experience with these trannys and what to do when they leak?

so recently ive noticed a weird vibration on the passenger side (right front) in my 87 GL Turbo wagon if i turn left at speeds over 50mph. it has a s/r part time 4wd 5spd. i recently replaced the cv axle, wheel bearings, and ball joint. and when i changed the axle i realized that the inner cv joint can move around a bit, what im wondering is if its a bearing on the output shaft or just that its really worn out. and how hard it is to replace/change it thanks everyone

Currently in the process of pulling my diff to weld it, and I removed the driveshaft and oil came pouring out. Didn't know if this is supposed to happen? Didn't happen on my impreza when I did the clutch -
So im trying to replace my manual transmission input shaft seal, and after removing the 3 bolts ive been unable to remove the plate. I cant find anything on it in my manual. Its a 5 speed manual dual range trans out of an 87 gl wagon. IVe got it about an inch out, but it doesnt seem to be a plate like i thought before its more of a shaft with an oring... im confused, and since i have no guide to go off of.... i need help! -
I recently purchased my second Subaru, and it has some puzzling problems. When I start it up, it revs up to 1,500 - 2,000 rpm for 30 seconds and then drops down to 1,200. The AT Temp light flashes 16 times, and the Check Engine light is on. When I shift the transmission into gear and try to drive, it acts like the engine is under a very heavy load. At first, I thought the exhaust was clogged, but after checking, I don't think it is. As the car accelerates, it shifts very hard, and when I take my foot off the gas, the car slows down as if it had a stuck brake cylinder (but it doesn't). Finally, when I stop and shift to neutral or park, the engine still acts like it is under load. When I shut the engine off, the drivetrain relaxes, and the car rolls backwards a little bit. When I pull the code from the ECU, it tells me there is a problem with the idle air control valve. I took it off and cleaned it. I also tested the resistance on the pins, and they are around 9 ohms like they should be. Could my idle air control valve still be bad? What about this transmission problem? At first, I thought it might be the Duty C solenoid or transfer clutch, but I cannot read an error code from the transmission. I am using an ELM327 code reader. -
hey everyone, ive recently acquired an 87 RX coupe and i cannot get a title, so its been a parts car to my 87 turbo wagon for a bit. i was wondering how much trouble it would be to swap the 5spd dual range Awd RX tranny into my GL that has a part time Awd 5-spd im sure its been done with how similar they are, i just wanna know what all is involved in doing the swap thanks!

Automatic Transmissions' With shared or independent Differential Lubrication. Very Basically Talking, there are Two types of Lubrication Systems for the Differentials, that comes integrated onto the Automatic Transmission's Case, or "Transaxle" as those combos are known nowadays. ► First Type: The Differential has its Own Lubrication, independent from the Rest of the Transmission's Lubrication System and also uses its own independent Lubricant. ► Second Type: The Differential shares the same Lubrication system and the same Lubricant that is used for the Transmission. Also, very Basically Talking, there are Two types of ATF Additives, which independently from the benefits they could do and their disadvantages; the ATF Additives could be divided in Two Big Groups: ► First Group: Are all of those ATF additives which actually "Thins" the ATF (getting Lower Viscosity) and works as detergent. In this group, you can find additives such like "Trans-X", and many more. ► Second Group: Are all of those ATF additives which actually mades the ATF to be "Thicker" or more Dense (Getting Higher Viscosity), and works as an added "Cushion" between moving parts to prevent shearing. In this group, you can find additives such like the "Lucas Transmission Fix" and many more. Why is this very important? Because if you pour an ATF Additive that thins the ATF and works as detergent, onto an Automatic Transmission's Fluid which also lubricates the Differential, and you drive long term like that, there will be a very high Risk of Breaking the Differential Gears due to improper Lubrication. Independently from the advantages that such additives could do to the Transmission; they simply are Not intended for the Differential, period. However, you might pour the same ATF additive onto transmissions which does Not share the ATF for the Differential, in such case there is No Risk for the differential, because it is isolated from the ATF and has its own lubricant. So, in case of Automatic Transmissions that shares the Same ATF for the Differential, you might pour those detergent ATF additives for short term use only, in example to do a chemical cleansing of the internals prior to do a complete ATF drain and then Refill with fresh ATF; but if you really need to Pour an ATF additive for long term use, on this kind of Transmissions that shares the ATF with the Differential, I highly recommend to chose wisely, from the ones that doesn't thin the ATF. ► Important Note: Not all the ATF in the market, has the same additive package nor are suitable for all the automatic transmissions; in fact, if you use the Wrong ATF, the Transmission might get damage, such like premature wear and shearing; Always follow the Manufacturer's recommendation on the Manual. In my case, for my Wife's car which has a version of the 4EAT, I pour Valvoline's High Mileage ATF plus a quart of Lucas Transmission fix additive, and that combo makes the transmission to work smoothly and flawlessly; I do change all the Transmission ATF with said combo, on a yearly basis. Remember, if you find this information useful, let me know by hittin' the "Like" Button. Kind Regards.-

Hi all, I'm new and have a question about my 91 legacy 2wd automatic It runs great starts fine, But when I try to put it in reverse it won't. Not w/o a lot of patience. The thumb trigger won't push in but sounds like a switch is closing. After 20 or so times it finally works. Once in gear no problem r-d-123. Seems more finicky over 4 days. Is there a switch that allows it to be put in rev? If so what's it called? The clicking seems to come from the steer column. Any thoughts appreciated. Cheers -
I see talk of EA this and EJ that. I'm assuming these are the Trans or Engine types of the particular vehicles in discussion. Does anyone have a complete list with matching years and models (or at least OEM installation)? What is under my stock 2008 Legacy Outback 2.5i 5MT? My transmission is labeled: TY758VCABA-GA (which is about the only ID I could find on it.) -
I just bought a 1994 subaru loyale 4wd 5 speed.. It came with a parts car, 1993 loyale 1.8, but automatic tranny (the tranny is blown, hence its a parts car). However the parts car has a body in much much better shape (it doesnt have any of the typical subaru rust). My question is, is it possible to do a engine and tranny swap from the driver car to the parts car? I'm very mechanically inclined and it definitely looks doable, I'm just wondering if it will jive or not. Thanks for any help!!
