yeah that's what I did I marked the camber and removed it got the axles out. I don't think Subaru ever came with black axle cups in this generation of models? the spring pin for the passenger side for sure is not stock..

I did this on a Forester before to change the inner cv boot but I forgot what I need to do to clear the inner part from the splines.. I know I did not have to do all they said in the service manual (anti-roll bar and so on) Oh I think I had to remove both strut bolts if I'm right and making sure I mark the camber before I do.

The light went out on it's own but I was back at the car today and did a rescan and well I will just let the video speak for it's self.

Weather was good up until like 4 PM Had I had a 100 Ft air hose instead of 25 ft I would of kept going.. I've just gotta get the crossmember for the transmission undone and then do the bolts.. Oh and man you would of never thought.. but wow I see why people want to upgrade the mounts, just turning the driveshaft while the car was in gear you can see the transmission movement. Now the front of the car is a tad higher then the rear so I'm wondering if I should put my support block of wood in the rear or the front or both.. yesterday night I never could get these bolts off so I gave up here I got it from the rear diff That stupid center pipe whoever wielding it finally fell off as soon as I went to drop the pipe from the transmission support bracket. T-storm so went to blast my wiper arms.. I painted them before but this time they are getting powder coated cleaned up with alum. oxide. lol I know you all are going to be like WHY? But cleaned the case of the tranny.. When I get the VIN number I wonder if anyone has a carfax they can run I'm just curious of what happen to the car.

Pulling parts to get the transmission out lol I've got my legacy about 24 inches high and it's funny looking at peoples expressions when they walk by.. but they might know me by now when I pulled the motor once.

The bolt under the rear transfer cover

man so I've got my car on jackstands.. it takes it almost to the max height for the 6 ton stands.. It's already bad enough I'm on a sloppy driveway It took about an hour to get the stands right without one wanting to tip.

Went to do the oil seal for the rear tailhouse and last bolt snapped... I don't think I'm going to split the case now... I guess this happens with tranny cases that have been sitting awhile?

Got everything I need about to drive the car over to put it on the jack stands it's sunny outside for the timing being so maybe those 3 days of T-storms wont happen

he told me the CEL went out for the 02 sensor now but going to check again this weekend just to be sure.

bah this sucks.. Subarupartsforyou tells me they can't add Extra-S to the special order because it's classified has hazardous from my deal old job UPS.. So they can't add it.. Sucks I guess I will just have to order it from Subaruparts.com and pay the $50 or so in shipping.. comes out near $200 or so I'm just using supertech to clean out the tranny then after a few hundred miles put extra-S in.

hmm my car at idle with stock mounts at 237K I can feel the motor running and it feels somewhat bouncy my idle is around 650-700. I might have to do this after my driveline is done

Anyone know what size the bolt is for the shift linkage? I picked up the spring pin 2 days ago and just as I thought it comes as one piece.. with the replacement transmission I heated it up gave it some kroil and it still would not move, in the end I ended up cutting a little notch down to the shift rod in order to break what seemed to be rust holding it on the rod. hopefully I wont have that hard of a time with the tranny in the car if I have to will I have enough room for a metal saw blade?

they ended up emailing me back and I guess all those parts were on the site.. odd because I picked show all and I typed the part number in the firefox word search box and I got no hits.. Oh well.

yeah I'm only about 30 miles away from them.. at least the other sites allow you to input the numbers.. I was just hoping to place the order I don't want to split it up.. the good thing about the site is it points out the part with the number

As far as I know it's not possible to enter a direct part number in right? having a hard time finding stuff, I ended up finding two seals but I can't find 4 other seals regarding the transmission.. I already sent them a message about it I hope it's not going to be like the shifter linkage.

I told him the next time I would be over the house is saturday but he was in a rush so it was crazy having to shuffle all the cars.

Changed out the rear sensor today pulled the battery cable CEL is still showing however I did not have my code reader with me but I would think the code would go away after a reset? Or for something like that I need to reset it with the code reader?

haha does not take much to make the stock speakers sound like crap and more so if it's over 10+ years old.

That's what I tried to find lol I'm not a plumber but this is what I have now

Hmm I will try that again when I get home I guess just pushing it forward and backwards puts it in 3-N-4 anyone have the part number for the input seal? is it 806725090?

This is going to sound like a stupid question but I never tried shifting at the transmission before and it looks and feels different from the shifter, I must be in reverse when moving the shifter rod to the left in the transfer case section you can see which opposing forces labels as the neutral switch (picture 2 in post) moves and I'm unable to move the rod again until I rotate it again to unlock it from the position.. in the effort to not make this sound more confusing I can't figure out how to find all 5 years.. If I just pull it straight out and back in, it seems like it has 3 positions. Turning both driveshafts you can tell it must be in a higher gear because the effort to turn it becomes much greater.

I think I should of went with the 4" because the 3" is a tad small as it's pushing on the part where the spring is on the seal.

yeah that's all I could find as far as driving at night because of the turtles laying eggs and stuff.
