After driving, clean all areas off with carb cleaner or similar and park over cardboard. This will help determine where the leak is from. Then more help can be given. O.

moot point at this juncture, but the tranny filter is generally not replaced according to Subaru. This is why it is on there so tight. But, it will come off, just need a lot more force than is usually applied. O.

try car-parts.com. You can also do a backwards search on Subarupartsforyou.com to see what other years use the same part number.. Guess it's time for the old yankee ingenuity. O.

Bosch( the originators of O2 sensors) will also work with no problems. Let the car idle a few minutes and hold the bung with an open end wrench, then turn sensor. O.

Access is behind the glove box. see http://www.bustedfingermotorsports.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=210&sid=65e126516c3eb35d0986f48326e23838 http://opposedforces.com/parts/legacy/us_b12/type_32/climate/heater_system/ O.

Do a search on engine swap or clutch replace. Should be lots of info there. Use this link for fsm http://www.bustedfingermotorsports.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=171&sid=41e07798e172c3bbdbc67d2850953ecf Take pictures and use Ziplock type bags for any loose items. Take your time and label things that need to be connected that are not apparent. Cover the front of the ac radiator, so that you won't dent it as you lift motor. I have replaced a clutch without completely removing motor but not sure if you can. Have fun. O.

Check here. Pinouts etc are available. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=749402 O.

Go to this link http://www.bustedfingermotorsports.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=168&sid=3a21f199211d05e86db1cee1d2824a45 look up electrical section and go from there. O.

meanwhile, change the tranny fluid. O.

22mm O.

They are called pop its by most. Can get them at an auto supply store. Best place for cup holder is someone parting out their Legacy. Check for sale here,legacygt.com and craigslist. O.

Should not need a right angle drill. Once the radiator is out, just remove grill and you have a straight shot to the crank. O.

Try http://www.main.experiencetherave.com/subaru_manual_scans/1999_Legacy_FSM/. 99% of legacy and Forester items are the same. Also http://opposedforces.com/parts/ O.

^ agreed. The key word is TEMPORARY. Subaru (like most) doesn't give full size spares, so it is allowed as a temporary fix. O.

Not entirely true. Subaru's AWD system and computer checks the revolutions of each wheel and adjusts accordingly, since it appears as slip. Subaru states that the circumference tolerance is 5/32 of an inch. Running larger than this will eventually damage the center differential. You can't just put a new or used tire on one wheel and ignore this. This why some when forced to replace an expensive tire,rather than buy a set they have the new one shaved to match the other 3. O.

03-06 NA Legacy and Outback and 04-06 NA Forester have EGR. The 00-03 Forester do not,according to Chilton's. O.

Keep checking Craigslist. You should be able to find someting fixable within your budget. O.

Can be done without removing engine, But, it's a real PITA. The pasenger side is fine. The driver side is the kicker. Remove the washer bottle. Disconect and tie out of the way any lines that will be in the way. The EGR line needs a 17mm wrench. Flare type would be best. Removing the valve cover would give you more room. The hard part is keeping the bolts from sliding down and preventing alignment. Finally tried paper towels, so the bolts would'nt slide but so far. Worked. Double check all your unplugged connectors. O.

Part of the problem is definition. Most of us refer to the EJ22 up to 96 as phase I, which are non interference, and the 97-99 as the phase 2. Subaru on the other hand does not have a phase# for the EJ up to 96. They call phase I the 97-99 series and the phase II the '00-01. O.

The major difference was a change in piston head design. There was also some ecu tweaking in the timing. Wasn't until 99 that they changed the piston diameter plus a few other changes. O

I have used E3 (still do) in my BL and BD. Have not had any issues because of it. But NGK is a no worry fix. The only caveat is to replace them after 30K miles. I was a little slow in doing my scheduled maintenace (got to @35K) and one of the triangular posts had completely burned up. O.

If TC is seated correctly the other possibility is one of the heads is 180 deg off and the valves are open and hitting the top of the cylinder, not allowing it to turn. O.

and when you need something more. http://www.main.experiencetherave.com/subaru_manual_scans/ O.

Indeed, wasn't clear enough. Didn't mean to suggest cleaning hoses with carb cleaner, but to just clean the passages. Do search for procedures to test EGR operation. O.
