It seems that Chilton did not make a Repair Manual

for the 1997 Legacy Outback Wagon.

 

What does everybody else use Here??

 

Thanks

Using alldatadiy here. I usually use it along with the Haynes. Sometimes Haynes has a shortcut or more practical way, especially when it comes to 'special tools', but other times it is completely incorrect or missing information.

I think you can buy the equivalent to a FSM in electronic form directly from Subaru.

Yes Subaru techinfo does have the CD's. They seem to be around $200 depending on the model. Or subscription for periods of 72 hours or so, some people do that and then download as much as they can during that time (believe it has hourly limits on downloads).

O.

Subaru FSM's. I have almost all digital copies, only hard copies i have are older 80's era stuff...i may have one newer gen hard copy but use electronic copies almost exclusively.

 

the hardcopies i think are nice when you first start getting into stuff to have them easily mobile.

I have the hard copy I bought off eBay for my 00 obw, but usually I just print out what I need from alldatadiy, since it is the same information anyway. I always feel bad getting the printed manual all oily and dirty, plus it won't stay open to the page you want anyway. Whereas it is actually quicker to find it and print it out, then just print it again if needed after spilling two quarts of ATF on it.
