  1. Yeah I'll send a PM and if I don't hear back in a couple days I'll call.
  2. To those of you waiting for them to open up a new sale, sorry I'm holding it up. It's been 6 months or so and I still have yet to hear back after my most recent email. I'm shooting a second one off now. I know they have my correct mailing address and I'm very pleased with the other stuff they've sent me, just waiting on some kind of resolution for this last wheel.
  3. Still nothing, emailed them and all that. I'm going to try to give them a call tomorrow.
  4. I still never got that wheel. I've emailed and gotten multiple emails back talking about shipping it out that day or the next. Now I got an email saying they had to special order another one. Still waiting on it, though.
  5. Should I be worried that my wheel never came? My skid plate got here a few weeks ago but the wheel never did...
  6. :headbang:Got to see it in person. I was so mad my GL didn't make it, headgasket finally gave out on the freeway around Federal Way, and I had to drive the rest of the way in the WRX. I would've been all over the trails.
  7. Especially that last part. If you check your oil right after you turn off your car a bit of it is still not in the oil pan, it needs to rest a minute to drain back down. The car should be warm and on a level surface, but not just turned off warm.
  8. Leh woooooot. I ended up taking the axle to my buddies and we used an air chisel to get the stub off. Threw it back in the subie and went to the pit. 4wd makes a biiig difference. Yesterday I got so stuck in this little pit, today I crawled through it like nothing. Thanks for the help.
  9. Fortunately mine is off the car. It's the side from the hub that's stuck in there. The stub is out of the hub but it won't come off the end of the axle :S. I'll try heating it in a few.
  10. Yeah that axle was totally screwed. I can't get the damn stub off this other axle. I might just have to go get another, they're pretty fused.
  11. Time for that to come off . I'm going to go knock it off of there and throw the old one on and see what happens. Thanks again!
  12. Woot, Gloyale wins again. So I jack up the rear and in 2wd the driveshaft spins freely. In 4wd it's locked up tight. So 4wd and the tranny are fine. HOWEVER, in 2wd when I spin that driveshaft, my passenger side axle stands still. The stub is definately spinning but everything passed the cv is standing still. On the drivers side everything spins together. I'm using an axle out of a loyale on the passenger side, were they shorter? It looks like it's taking a lot more out of it to stretch that far and the boot as slid up the axle about an inch and a half. Oh well I've got the original axle that was on here before I swapped all that crap out so that should still be good. The only problem with it is that I took it completely out of the hub instead of off the stub on the back of the hub so now the stub is stuck in it even when I take out the pin :S. Oh well I'll figure it out. Thanks a bunch Gloyale and everyone else, you've been a huge help.
  13. The selector for low definitley moves and I have my low gears for sure. I'm at work now but tomorrow morning when I get off I'll try jacking up one side. Besides the actually tranny itself being shot, what else internal could be messed up? Something stripped somewhere besides the tranny? The problem I had that I recently fixed was the hub on the back rear was completely stripped out where the axle usually mates up to it. I replaced everything back there and verefied that it was hooked up and that spinning the wheel once again actually spun the axle. If I had stripped it again could that be causing this problem? My thought is that because it's an open diff, if it has nothing to grip in there it's spinning like crazy making the other side stand still. If I jack up all 4 tires and put it in 2wd the drive shaft from the tranny to rear diff shouldn't spin right? If it does than does that mean my tranny is okay but it's something past that?
