  1. Greetings, We bought this car from an auction house. 99 Legacy Wagon Anniversary Edition, EJ-22 engine runs nice and quiet but powerful enoough. Lovely paint and interior, was probably garaged most of its life. Problem was evident as I drove it home. It's scarey to turn the car except at very low speed. When I turn the wheel, something seems to bind up and buck, in a somewhat rythmic way. The sharper the turn, the more it binds. At 4 mph around a 90 degree turn as in a street intersection, it binds and lets go maybe twice per second. I'm afraid to take a corner much faster for fear of breaking something. The odometer says 73,000 miles. The transmission shows that somebody has been inside. There is silicone on the gasket and the filter is new. I suspect it may have come from another car. The transmission slips a bit tasking off. I looked into replacing the transmission with a used one, but with the labor of doing the R&R, it seemed prudent to spend the money and have the tranny overhauled. It's at the transmission shop now, but the mechanic doesn't want to start the overhaul until he understands what's causing the bucking/binding. As you know, the front differential is part of the transmission. He says there are 37 teeth on the ring gear. My favorite mechanic says there are some with 37, 39, or 41 teeth. It's important for the front and back wheels to turn at the same rate, so the ring and pinion gears muist be the right sizes. So, questions: Is this the likely cause of the problem, or is there another possible issue? What was the original tooth count on the ring gear in the transmission that this car came with from the factory? If the answer is not 37, then should I buy a used transmission? How can I ensure the proper gear ratio if I buy a used one? Many thanks for your thoughts and expertise.
