I have a 90 legacy and I was wondering how easy it is to change the clutch cable... I know it should be easy, but you never know, sometimes its the easy ones that are the pain! Here's another question-- my engine is getting old and is starting to use a bit of oil, where is a good place to buy new/used engines? I have rebuilt many of different engines through-out the years but I have grown sick of working on cars and would much rather just swap it out when the time comes... any thoughts?

On the cable, it was a PIA on my 91 legacy-surprised as on my old 80 was not too had. FYI do not buy aPioneer brand-it was an "almost fit" aftermarket.

 

On the engine, see CCR on this boeard for top notch new, and there is good advice on used engines from in the US and Japan. My personal take, is you can buy a Cr-pload of oil for the cost in money and time and trouble of a swap/rebuild. i used to let my old amaerican clunkers get down to 1quart every 75 miles before I would do something about the engine. Just make sure to check frequently and carry spare oil(and funnel, spout, etc,.) if yo drive an oil burning car

just make sure you take note of exactly how it routes and mounts before removing your old one. once you remove it, you can't "double check" any more. you'd be surprised at how quickly a "simple" looking set up can look complicated when you know longer have something to look at. check the routing, check the connections at the ends, and take pictures if you have to.
