it's a 00, same part number even

could've been wrong stuff, hmm. yeah I plan on pulling old Trans apart and rebuilding front diff, being as the Trans itself has less than 40k on it

I did drain front fluid before this happened, it did have sparkles in it...looked like brass though, and it was about half full, it had a strange smell to it kinda skunky, not the normal gear oil smell, I thought maybe someone put some magic punch in it. I'm thinking it was getting ready to crap the bed. I snagged a 50k mile tranny off eBay from a localish jdm parts company, comes with a great unlimited mileage warranty for 1yr and I got it for 700 with tax

looks like 99-04 outback Trans should fit? or? everything at local wreckers is junk cores, a guy on Craigslist has a jdm motor and Trans doesn't know the year, also comes with a 2000 obw that's complete

well I was wrong on previous rebuild on differental, was Trans only. I took it into a shop (amco) they said diff needs gone through, $1530! so my cheapness has kicked in, what are my options at this point? I'm thinking of finding another trans, what year should I look for? might do this myself, autos aren't my thing, I've rebuilt a couple suby motors, not afraid here

axles on both sides are about a year old, when I had it off all 4s I was checking free wheel spin on front checking for noticeable binding or resistance, couldn't feel anything that way.

Ok so here's the deal, Picked up this car (2000 outback limited AWD, Auto trans) from a good friend (122k on it) did HG's and all that happy stuff... friend had transmission and front diff rebuilt by amco (35-40k ago) I'm getting a constant clicking from the drivers side output shaft area, its not a CV clicking but sounds internal, driving patterns don't make any chance to noise, going into neutral while coasting makes it go away and also does clicking when all 4 wheels are on jack stands, I also found that the drivers side wheel appears to be binding when the other 3 are spinning. Any ideas here? i'm not fond of amco but might take it back....its outta warranty

Okay, I have an alternator off an H6 (EZ30) and on my oval plug I have a white with black stripe, white with red and a black with red I don't have a wiring diagram in front of me yet, does anyone know or have place I could find this quick info on soob alt wiring?

HMM, I am having difficulties finding the correct wires for my OBD port....its been hacked/cracked to death. I keep having high idle issues but when I disconnect the battery and back again it clears the issue till it warms up then back to high idle...so I would GUESS this is going in to a fault mode.

Yes, its an 86 vanagon (westy camper) Woulda posted this over in the conversion section...not alot of action over there.

Deff not an OBD2 port. Anyone got ideas?

Well.....thats just it, its in a van Supposed to be all 04 forester stuff. but I have no ODB2 port to speak of.

Its labeled "check engine"

I removed the adapter and I deff need the union for the filter to stay on. It looks like suby has a part number for this union so hopfully they have it.

Well, I picked up an elbow and it helps clear the angle but I have bad feelings about it. So i'm going to pull all this out and just put a normal pump in. I can post this stuff up forsale for another suby fan if someone wants it. Question(s) If I head to my local FLAPS and pickup say a duralast or other would I be shooting myself in the foot? they are about $60-70 bucks are these crap or should I get one at a dealer? (I should bring lube right? ) And now that this cooler is taken off my oil filter, I'll need a shorter oil lug where can I get one of these? And on the bottom of the head I had a threaded barb that connected to the side of this heat exchanger, Its now removed and I can just pickup a threaded freeze plug right? man it looks like I need to find a hashed out engine to rob....junkyard here are scarce in the suby parts biz. :-\
