Replace those seals. Mark the start location of the “sun dial”, count the turns out, pulling gently on the sun dial once the O ring is clear of the case (becomes very easy to undo by hand at that point). Once the sun dial comes free mark the case so you know where to start counting the threads. 

Do one side at a time. It’s not rocket science so don’t be scared about doing this job. Just make sure you prime the seal and the O ring with some rubber grease lube. 

Cant help with a 2wd cross member sorry.

Ok, so it is essentially, mark the original position, count the revolutions to remove exactly and reinstall at exactly the same revolutions and to the original marked position.  It basically is setting the backlash to the original factory assembly point,correct.The trans has been sitting in my heated garage on a shelf for 6 years.

I marked the positions on both sides and I should have the orings and seals in the next week.

Make sure you put the correct oil seal on the correct side as they’re a directional seal that are side specific  

Cheers

Does anyone have the part numbers for each seal and each oring? My Subaru has to have the part number to order them.

Photos wrong

The steering column wasn’t too hard to remove and reinstall but it takes time. I need these console parts if anyone has them. I had found them with one person on another board but now he won’t respond to my massages. I need the cubby/console and plastic square cover that the shift boot fits into. That would be top right cubby and right below, the squarish plastic cover with the hole with the shifter hole.

All three cars I have just have the cubby, no trim around the shifters. I have a 88DL, 88GL and a Loyale here, and the shifter boot just goes into the floor. They are all 4wd mt5's

 

@Ionstorm66 - never seen that other than in the very base model EA81 units. Never seen that setup in the sedan or wagon L’s - they’ve always got a centre console!

That picture is of a GL-10 wagon. It has air suspension and MPFI.

I got back in touch with my original seller on the console. I will post an update when the parts arrive.

 

 

Original parts for console have arrived. I have an issue on my 5MT 2WD transmission. Can the stub axles on both sides of the transmission be pulled out? Are they held in with a expandable snap ring or do I have to split the transmission to replace them?
see attached  screen capture, part #8.

Split transmission to remove the circlip that holds the diff stub axle in place. No other way to do it other than brute force - and lose the circlip in the box. 

Not what you wanted to hear I bet.

What’s the issue with that stub axle? They’re pretty tough things! 

Cheers

That is what I thought. I am going to check them tomorrow. I am just going through a final once over to make sure everything is ok. I think they are probably fine.

Moving to the end of the build and I have a question. Since my Loyale is now a fwd MT , does the exhaust bracket for the mid exhaust pipe attach the rear end of the mt transmission and using Subaru bracket 44121D No.5?

That looks correct
