put a gal of gas in a gas canin the trunk. drive the car till it hits empty, then drive it till the light comes on or it quits. put in the 1 gal. check the light. then fill up with gas. if you don't want ot be on the road when it runs out, let it idle in the drive way. on the hiway my light comes on around 330. i avg. 25 mpg a little better on the hiway. if you're getting 32 mpg on a 15 gal tank, you can go 32mpg X 14gal = 448 miles and still have a gal left. try driving 350 miles befroe fill up.

another thought, moving more air across the cooling element will not necessarily decrease the temp. it will produce colder air if the fan is moving slower, more time to cool the air; it will cool the car faster if the fan is moving faster. you will have a colder vent if the fan is on low, less air it has to cool.

yes the front diff is bolted on to the trans and the unit is called a transaxle. if the trans you install has the same model number as the one you remove then all the gearing will match. if you choose a trans model from a different year, try and get the tcu computer as well, if you choose a different model vehicle, legacy vs. outback vs. gt, then get the tcu and rear diff as well. but any tz102zaaaa will bolt right into a 95 leg awd 2.2 a/t and run. search "car-part.com" for your trans. hundreds to choose from.

the wiring harness changed between 98 and 99. apparently they added some stuff to the 99 trans. most model year productions ran from july thru june. most of the years, the trans model numbers changed just the last 4 charters. but in some cases other characters changed. example: TZ102ZAAAA = 95 LEG 2.2L A/T AWD the Z's indicate awd TA102AAAAA = 95 LEG 2.2 A/T FWD; 2&6 "A"s = fwd TZ102ZABAA = 96 LEG 2.2L A/T AWD TZ102ZACAA = 97/98 2.2L LEG A/T AWD TZ102Z2CBA = 97/98 2.5L a/t awd outback; the 2 = 2.5L except in 96 where in meant outback trim TZ102Z2DBA = 98/99 2.5L a/t awd outback TZ1A2ZJEBA = 99 (late) 2.5 a/t awd outback; the 4th A is different, new gen of trans???????? TZ1A4ZCCA = 2000 2.5 a/t awd outback; another change yet again in addition the gt's and the lsi have different model numbers... the obw and sus have different rear ends and gearing... the long and short of it is , lots of trans mission will bolt right on, but the computers may not be happy and they wiring may be different. so get one that matches. i have put this info together through my onnw reasearch, and it may not be entirely accurate. john

those are both 2000 trans model numbers. is usually printed on trhe top of the trans, back of the engine, near the fire wall, view from the drivers side. it also will be on the metal plate riveted to the strut housing near the fuse box under the hood. at least it is on the late 90's. but, the easiest thing to do is to go to "car-part.com" and plug in your information. i always sort my search by distance, that way i look at the closest salvage yards first. some may be with in driving distsnce. good luck.!!

DC Voltage.. Where's my electrical minded people?
johnceggleston replied to SuBrat84's topic in Subaru Retrofitting
there are lots of power supplis for 12v dc. also 12vac, or 16vac, or 24vdc. it all depends on what you're trying to do. how much juice does a car stereo pull. almost all home alarm systems run on 12v dc. so you could tie in there if you have one. i dreamed of hooking up a car cigarette lighter to mine. but what would i use it for that i couldn't do with 120v ac?? -
i ve got one in va if you are interested . '99 automatic transmission with only 4 k miles on it??. the donor car was wrecked on the left side dead center. bought it to go in a 97 but the wiring harness changed so we went with an older model. vin#: 4S3BG6856X7661024 model # TZ1A2ZJEBA-WZ let me know. john

how old is the water pump.? i had over heat problems in a 90 nissan pick up. over heat on extra hot days, ran fine all winter. finally replaced the pump (after the t-stat, cap, fan clutch). one of the fins on the impeller was caroded away, gone. no problems since. first time i ever saw a pump go bad without leaking.
