people get scared of high mileage subarus? when I had my 95 legacy I picked it up with 195,065 when I crashed the car it had 236,917 I'm about to buy another with 220K on it as long as it's well maintained it should not give much of an issue. And like everyone private selling is basing off the KBB.. the most overpriced Subaru on any site has to be the 1998 Forester..150K + and people still want $6-8k for that car..

Ive filled the front without a funnel but better have good aim

Yea getting from a yard dont they check and drain before selling? Also what can you get for scrap for the tranny?

A thread on NASIOC has a full tear down of the diff.. pretty interesting... the machining is hit or miss.

haha for sure

That's weird the first thing I thought of is how much did they spend wasting bulbs lol

Hey so you know I took my whole gauge out of the car before they got rid of it.. So I happen to look at the back for the first time and I noticed while my car was AWD and a 5 MT they had a bulb in the socket hole for the TCS indicator.. I thought that was a bit weird.

Heh it seems pretty straight forward in doing the timing belt haha just a bit more effort

I wanted to see what the going rate was...

yeah try using some Pb blaster and if that does not work I've used my feet and I've used a jack to help break it loose.

I just checked ebay and I saw nothing unless I searched wrong.. most everything was all new rear diffs from a forester XT or wrx or the sti.

trust me it will turn I use a 1/2" 18" breaker bar (I have air tools now) and while it feels loose it will be fine and wont strip. As for filling the rear you can be creative.. I've just poured the bottle in until it started to pour out of the top hole.. OR you can get tired of that and buy a push pump that screws on the bottle

haha last DOHC car I had was the 98 Forester car has 220K on it.

nope it's a DOHC

Hmm I see I found a site that talks about the subaru rear diffs I guess for use on Nissan cars all the 80's models seem to be 3.70 or 3.90

Interesting that when it happened my clutch stuck to the floor and the car was stuck in 1st gear I don't think its any good anymore other then the sound when letting off the throttle I had no problems with it. I will be bringing home a 97 outback in a few days so I will have my first hand look of having to open the transmission Should be fun I kinda miss working on the Subaru.

But the older models used a VLSD? I swear someone had a site up that showed what years used what.

too much play in the R&P I'm sure shims would of helped but that tranny wont be spinning anymore :-\

Well here is what i figured out.. Sorry for my friend's dog barking lol she hates other dogs lol

has anyone ever did a rear LSD?

it indeed is 4.44 for A/T 4.11 for M/T

haha I just better remember to put on the steel toes that day

it's not really the weight of it I'm going to guess it's around 30-36" long? btw I'm 125 Lb so haha getting it from the trunk is going to be interesting but doable.

I know I have to open it up to see what's going on.. Anyways does anyone know the length of the transmission? Will it fit in the back of a ford taurus?

you can hear the guy around 1:02 haha
