If you go back to PNS anytime soon, you might cut the dash's harness ends out of the car; it might help someone swap over to analog later.

I have a couple of interchange questions pertaining to the 2001 OBW I'm fixing up to sell... I need a starter and a transmission mount and would like to find the least expensive compatible parts. The car came with a transmission for a XXXXXX, transmission code XXXXXX.. (will update this later but it was from another Legacy according to the list below. I installed a 5MT for a 98 2.5RS, transmission code TY752V2DAA. The starter that came on the car works but has a broken bottom mounting ear. I'd like to put in a good starter and I'm not sure what will fit the transmission in the car with regard to syncing with the flywheel at the proper depth. I'd imagine the flywheel is original to the 2001 OBW but I don't know. I'm also interested in replacing the transmission mount before i sell it because it's really soggy (300,000 miles on the car, go figure!) and the previous owner mentioned that he was tired of the axles wearing out. The mount that came with the car fits on the bottom of either of the above transmissions just fine. What are my options for replacing or upgrading the transmission mount? Does it depend on how it attaches to the crossmember? Thanks!

Or you'll never get it down! (clicky the picky)

you could make a set of "hybrid" A/C lines that meet the stock evaporator at the firewall and merge with the EJ compressor on the EJ22. Wiring up the compressor might be interesting but would certainly be less work than the engine wiring itself. I think most people use the stock crossmembers in their EA cars; you may have to slot the holes for the motor mounts and perhaps grind off a couple of alignment "nipples" on the bottoms of the motor mounts.

Nice find! Hope you got it for the price you wanted The rear end clunk may be the top bushing in the rear differential mount. Fix that rust on the rear end YESTERDAY. Fer serious. That will be swiss cheese next spring if you don't. Keep your eyes open for a dead GL10 wagon with spiff interior! Good luck!

I give it a thumbs up!

There are a lot of old subarus in your area. You'd be lucky to get $500 for it with the problems it has. The plus side is that most of them would be inexpensive to fix.

Thanks, I've got my name on a 2.5RS transmission at Spaldings. 98 Impreza 2.5RS ________TY752V2DAA from my list.

Thanks Josh. Every transmission in that list I typed is a 4.11 ratio.. I could always match the diff if I put in a different ratio but I'd prefer to keep it original. Changing the electrical components wouldn't be hard either.... cheers!

Hello, I have a 2001 Legacy Outback Wagon which has a bad 5-speed transmission. I have the following list of possibly compatible transmissions and their part numbers and originating cars.. I'm concerned about whether the wiring harnesses will interchange. If anyone can help me narrow this list down it would help me immensely I also have pictures of the wiring harness on the bad transmission which is after the list.

Wow. Glad you're OK. any idea what happened? Any history of loose or worn injector components? That looks like a gasoline fire....

double offset joint or something. The rear axles' ends are both DOJs and can be completely disassembled; the front axles' inner ends are DOJs and the fronts' outer ends are CVJs - Constant Velocity Joints - and are pressed together. You can take them apart with a hammer and cold chisel but you can't put them back together. Do you have How To Keep Your Subaru Alive? It's got some such details.. http://www.worldwidecm.com/HTKYSA.pdf

are they magnetic? (is this question dumb enough for this thread? )

I never heard anything in the news either... glad you're OK though. I got front calipers from an XT6 and the caliper mounting brackets from what I believe was a 2.5RS but I didn't pull them myself and it was a while ago. The calipers required a tiny bit of grinding but fit properly. This allowed me to retain the front E-brake with a 5-lug conversion. What that REALLY means it that it allowed me to put off moving the E-brake to the rear so XT6 font caliper brackets should accept 2.5RS front calipers and might require a little grinding. I don't know if any other EJ calipers will do the same.. I assumed that someone had found a way to make it work and posted about it, and I was right but it's been like 3 years since I searched for it.

Couldn't you max. inflate the old tires and slightly underinflate the new one until broken in?

good call; you may be able to relieve the caliper piston pressure a little by cracking the bleeder screw open.

I'm going to have to give you a point for that one..

Anybody have an account? Please and thanks? 4s3bh675516624090 2001 Legacy Outback

Well, you have room in your garage to do it yourself but it would take a lot longer. Might not cost significantly less but DIY would spread out the cost...

Someone else might have the goods for $100 or less; go thru GD's writeup and post an ad in the Wanted section... good luck!

How do you tell the difference?

Some GLs have adjustable front struts which work the same as Uberoo described. Don't drive on them this way permanently or it will wear out your tires. Some GLs also have adjustable rear struts which can be cranked up permanently without damaging the tires; I believe it requires a spring compressor though. They will have 3 "steps" in the bottom perches.

It's about damn time.

I'd wrap some emery cloth around it and chafe it off uniformly instead of using a file.

If all of the alternators were bought from the same shop, they might all have the same thing wrong with them. Have you taken the alternator(s) to an automotive electrical shop to bench test them?
