michaelbteam Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I recently acquired a desirable 96 Outback with 2.2, and manual trans, which is making a horrendous noise most evident where the axles join the trans, increases with wheel speed. I drained the trans expecting debris but there were no particles in oil although it was dirty. The axles are fairly new. Any advice would be appreciated--it appears to need tranny work for sure. If anyone in Salt Lake City is interested I will probably pass this on for about 2K [firm] since I found another car. Engine runs perfect, [130K miles], has cold A/C, heated seats, many new parts, and very straight [red] rust free body. Will be advertising this locally soon.

GeneralDisorder Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 It is most probably the rear input shaft bearing..... Remove tranny, split it open, replace the $65 bearing, a few $10 seals, and re-install. Pretty easy - should take an afternoon. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelbteam Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 Thanks. Not sure if I have it in me, could be a good deal for someone if that's all it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
