I've never seen this before but I also haven't read any directions! I have always just put the clutch onto the dowel pins on the flywheel and tightened to specs! I spec thats tight enough:lol: But I've NEVER had one not work or fail and I have replaced many!

I had an Impreza auto and the only time I put the fuse in was when I want to burn off a set of tires! That's the only power difference, it was able to burn out really good. As far as acceleration and what not it was no different or not noticeably different! Yeah I love the old ones too you should keep an eye out for another!

Only the autos came with the fuse holder under the hood and you have to put a fuse in to make it fwd. Some people say that it does increase gas mileage but I found it doesn't! You are still turning all the same drive gear there is just no power to it! But I'm sure that someone will have a different opinion. If its in the shape you say it is hopefully you didn't pay much for it!

I can't remember exactly what I did but I had mine machined!

Well sand is a very dense material and "sucks" up a lot of a vehicles power. So you probably wanna go with a fairly conservative size. Probably something that measures 26-27 inches will work okay But I definately wouldn't go any bigger than that! You are going to notice quite a difference in power with those already so If you are able to measure anything and maybe even mock up than that might work.

What size lift are you using? Those are pretty big! You want to remember that it is just a little subaru with like 90 horse! So you want to have enough power to turn them! But I have 205/75/14 on my brat with a 3" lift I could go an inch or so bigger with no mod but I don't have a lot of power! Those measured 26 and 1/4 inches new.

Awesome well make sure you post some pics when you get it done!!! What are you using for tires I know you purchased some pugs. That thing is gonna be sweet when you get the tranny, lift and wheels and tires on it!

Sweet You are gonna love the 5 spd d/r! I remember my first swap, what a difference! Keep us posted on your progress! When are you getting the lift?

buy it I wish I was closer! You guys get all the rust free good deals!! Jump on it its an easy fix!!

Yeah what he said!

most likely

Where can you get and who makes a torque chip for an ej non turbo motor??

I replaced the tranny in my old impreza once and we accidently put a 3.9 tranny in and it had a 4.11 rearend and it felt really weird but didn't bind much just drove and steered funny so that could be it!

I very much doubt that the oil had anything to do with your problem I have run my subarus with little oil before with out any problems! Its weird a subaru with an oil leak! But yeah I would go with the vac line or something, not the oil!

No prob!

$135 for the ea81 and $145 for the ea82 just looked!

I have lifted all of my subarus past and present the same way that sjr does and never had any serious camber issues or much tire wear so I never really saw the need to alter the strut block:-\

Pics!

I know that visually the joints are much bigger looking as well, so good luck!

I would also be interested in an adapter to put 5 by 100 on my brat!!!

Yes its possible to swap the d/r into the legacy but there is quite a few things that need to be done but someone else will know more and where to look for more info!

I and many of my friends have used the new ones from NAPA and I haven't seen any fail yet so hopefully its the same for you!!! I just wish they would make new ones for my brat!

oh you so funny! Send a few my way!

No prob and good decision!

Yeah sounds like parts to me! Too rusty, its hard to patch gthe frame rails so that they will last! But it is an ea82 car. I would put the tranny in your loyale but if you can get the whole car thats the way to go, that way you have any and all parts you would need when putting the d/r in your car. It isn't worth that much in that condition I paid 175 for a similar car but make an offer and see what he says.
