My hatch had same prob, 2 different things were going on, first the cable was stretched. 2nd, the hole for the cable pin on the ped, was elongated, from exessive pressure, a bad cable that was freyed. ken.

I just bought a lifted 82 brat, the drivers side axle was broke at the trans side, i put a new one in but it seems stiff when wheel is turned, would like to know if there is a length diff. in between the other cars. thanks, ken

i just got the rig , and ive not had chance at anything. the camber is horrable and will need new tower blocks, as these are strait. Will that compensate for the lack of length? thanks floortom

just bought a nice 82 brat w/ 6" lift, 90% done. Has broke left side cv broke @ trans side, just installed new one. It seems that it should be enlongated, i dont want to break the cage on the new one. Can you help me from trashing new axle? thanks floortom.

When going to the wcss-11, i lost a heater line and dumped all the coolant, its never been the same. Ive replaced both head gaskets, thermostat,{ which was not present before} and put a newer macs radiator out of my gals hatch, which never gets above a 1/4 on a hot day. put rad. in today, thinking it was old and clogged. still just as bad , if not worse. i looked the heads over well and did not find any cracks. maybe warped? need a ea81 in portland. pay cash, ken @503.735.1583 thanks in advance

oh yea...90' legacy mpfi 2.2 thanks

in the crash, the timing case was bumped knocked the belt out. so ill fix that......until the ring with the marks on it came off the sprocket. i was tring to bend out a small dent and now what? it was goiing to be sooo simple... thanks

the legacy will be aaa'd home soon, i can't wait! very excited. it wouldnt start after the crash..about 2 wks. ago...pushed the first front 6" to the right. seems the rad is still intact. not that bad mech., but body is unrepairable. $50 seemed reasonable. thanks, ken...i love this site.

cool...thats good news! my father owned a tv repair shop in the 70's and i dabble with audio/vidio pc boards, but ecu stuff is so sensitive im spooked. ill need a lot of help after the shoe horning is done.also... is there a man. 5spd....like the dual range in my hatch for this unit? any thoughts? ken

at a quick glance i seen mpfi 2.2 full time awd, all ajustments are computer controled. i worked at six states drine train in the driveline dept., so spliceing slip/spline/yoke issues i think i can get i grip on. as for matching two cv joints...mabey. the nuts and bolts of motor mounts and cross members would be a great help from anyone that has done this with sucsess. all advice is welcome......thanks, ken

<P>can i put a legacy running gear in a older gen car?</P>

trying to find you due to a clutch problum...... like to know a little histoy, used to be your aunts? motor or trans been replaced? call ken 503.735.1583 thanks.

after trying to find parts for this car, i'm considerting changhing the flywheel out of a wagon i got...why is the hatch 1" bigger than the wagon, if it's the bigger car?

I 'm screwed...girl frd unit is pissed. so am i ... .cant find the kit, wrong parts evry time...why is the hatch so hard to buy for? Differnt stuff, brakes i can understand ...spline size?

Hi Ken from Portland here. I'm having problems locating a clutch for an 86 Subie Hatch. I've been sold the wrong one twice due to differences. Clutch disk is 8 7/8" Small spline Old sytle throwout bearing The first one they sold me was the right size clutch disk but I could tell the throwout bearing was for a different model and the spline size was too big. It measured 1". The second one they sold me the clutch disk was an 1" too small and it had the replaceable throwout bearing but it was too small. I called the Napa warehouse and other various places in Portland and the closest one I could find was 5 days away in New Mexico. I rented a trannty jack this weekend, and it sits there mocking me... Can somebody like Ritchie Rich or someone like him in the Portland area locate one for me - they have to be here. Failure 2 Pilot bearing is stuck. I bought a $44 remover but the jaws were just a shade too large so I filed it down so it would fit in the hole. Yet it didn't have enough to pull the bearing - it pops out. Tried the grease trick with no success. Is there a better puller or method I don't know about? Failure 3 Exhaust studs for the catalytic converter - one on each side broke off. After much babying and preperation they still broke off. What is the best method to remove them? Still about 3/4" of an inch stick out from the head. Thanks for any help in advance! Ken from Portland
