Timing Belt??

not in the Brat. Still the same??

Yeah, that's sort of what I was asking. Is the shaft size and spline count the same?

My Brat is very stiff to steer at certain spots. It seems to me that the U-joint connecting to column to the shaft going to the rack is bad. I plan on heading to the yard to pick one up, any idea if the U-joint is the same on the EA-81 and EA-82??

I have a 97 with the 4EAT. I have over 200,000 on it (40k when I bought it) I beat the crap out of that trans on a daily basis. With the pedal forcefully down it will wait till redline to shift from 1st to 2nd, and again from 2nd to 3rd. I have never done a thing to the trans. No services, never even a fluid change. It still shifts beautifully. I was looking for a 5 spd, but couldn't find any in the price/mileage I was looking for, so I went with the auto. I have always thought that when the auto goes south, that I will put in a 5 speed, but I don't know if that will ever happen.

As long as the socket doesn't split, you should be able to use it again. To get the jammed nut out of the socket, use a slightly larger socket as a base to hammer the nut out into.

Come on Jesse, he's taking baby steps here... It was enough that he could have slept on the floor if he wanted, or get a few "new" engines and trannys in:lol:

Hey... I didn't say how much later... This photo shows a sight more rare than a rust free Northeast Soob... This is actual Bare Floor Space at Paul's shop :D:D The rest of the gallery is HERE

It seems to be back up CvK is the best :D

:D WooHoo, another party at Paul's. But next time I'm leaving the SVX at home. NYC SUCKS

Had a great time as always up at Mooseys It was great to see Freak and Connie again and to meet Mary and Tim. That is a super nice 78 Brat that Jesse has. Okay, first of all, I had 1/2 the bag of chips, you had the other half... Secondly, I offered some MMs before you passed out and you didn't want any. Am I supposed to let them go to waste??? Thirdly, since you were sleeping, and I was trying not to (someone had to drive ) I decided that for safety sake I should drink it... Besides the coffee tasted like crap, I think the cream was spoiled. You should thank me for drinking it I'll work on getting the pics up later...

Ben Roth = Benebob I was planning on making it but something came up at the last minute I will be down to one or both in December to kick Ben's but. Either in the SVX or the Legacy if I get some tires for her (right now all I have is snows).

How about some of that raw fish from the gas station next door :-\ This is looking like a strong "maybe" leaning towards probably.

me too Yep Yep Yep

We're a very friendly group of folks here in PA :D Just don't rip off a fellow "Subaru Friend" and we'll all be happy :D I'm not as close as the others, but Ben knows how to get a hold of me if'n yous wanna show up in force:dead:

Sorry to hear again... 3rd times a charm???

:lol: Paul, you crack me up.... and Connie please get some Dream Catchers down so Melis can sell them for you also use stale bread to make bread crumbs for on top of the M&C for a little variety :D

Benebob fixed this problem in his XT6 with a can of Spray Foam Insulation. It is a little firmer than stock, and may not last as long as a real fix, but it is quick and easy and cheap :D:D

Where is Jesse?? I know he is up there somewhere...

Not sure where it is on the Legacy or GL10... But on the XT6 it is over on the Passenger Strut Tower, on the SVX it is on the fender behind the battery. You probably know what to look for, but just in case, or for others reference the resistor is a thin metal box about 3/4" x 3/4" x 5".

Connie, Sorry to hear :( I'm sure something else will come up soon. If not you can piece your own together from parts in Paul's shop. Of course it won't have front brakes. but I think he has everything else needed in there :D

Yes it was a good time. Paul, thanks again for all your help and generosity. No way I could have got it done with out you there... This can be one more testiment to beauty of the Moose Man. He is truly a friend of the Soob. Connie you caught onto the Duchess and Trans fluid plan, huh?? Lets do it all again soon, but rather than gathering around a tranny in Paul's lot hows about we gather around some beers and chips at a bar:drunk: ploop...

Is the Trans still in it?? What kind is it? Also does it have the turn signals on the Mirrors?

:lol:

I will, I will :lol: just kidding, congrats on the new discovery, and welcome to the board
