WoodsWagon Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Omg they do come off! ! yay my subie will be back on the road soon mwhaha. Yep. The way you did it was the right way, the way the junkyard removed the axle was the wrong way, so you had to do it the wrong way too to make up for that. Good on ya for tackling a tranny swap in the driveway. I'd throw down some speedy-dry on the oil spill you've got there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Yeah - you need some dry-sweep action but otherwise you're looking good. It's a common mistake with the junk yards on those stubs. Most other makes the stub is part of the axle and is male so it's pretty common to see that removal method actually. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbykirb Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 Damn it, new transmission installed and it's making a click click click sound... hmm..what can it mean.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbykirb Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 Still, pretty much 6 months since my purchase of my subie. The transmission broke down Aug 10th. Bought the Subie June 28th. Horrible. Simply Horrible. I will never buy a subaru again after this pathetic hellish experience. 1700$ spent so far in transmission and labor, and nothing. So, pretty much 3000$ for the car purchase, another 1000$ for 6 months insurance (basically wasted) and now 1700$ in this bs. 5700$ gone into just nothing. Transmission does not work still, waiting on mechanic..the same one to fix it still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmm001 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 It sounds to me like there was something wrong with the car when you bought it, and then subsequently it wasn't fixed properly with the replacement transmission. It sounds like you need to find a different mechanic. I'm not sure how this situation means that Subaru's are junk... Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh.... my damn luck. Fixed the transmission issue, and now bam the engine has a headgasket leak. Well, thats the nail in the coffin for this car.

Twitch de la Brat Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Hey, headgaskets are easy. Trust me, I did one, well two, basically in my own garage with a chilton manual and some advice from a few mechanics. This was before I had discovered the USMB. They're easy to do. All you need is an engine lift and a 12 point 14mm that fits really, really well. If you strip a headbolt, hoo boy! Oh, and a torque wrench. That's about it. Where is clearwater? I have a 90 legacy, with a basically rebuilt 91 engine in it, that needs a new tranny. Sounds like you have a legacy that needs a new engine with a good tranny. Wanna make a deal?
