nipper replied to Average Guy's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe frt pump is a larger version of the PS pump. It's the pump. The oddness in shifting is a hint. It gets quieter as it warms up as the fluid gets thinner. If you rely on this car it is better for you to fix it on your terms as opposed to fixing it on it's terms.

Hood mounted radiator?
The red hatch has a scoop, you said nothing about a scoop. When you are planing on a mod tell us everything else you are planning on doing with that mod at the time.

Oil on boot?
nipper replied to john40iowa's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXi am not sure, but technically they are spark plug bucket seals, as the plugs sit in a bucket in the valve cover.

A hood mounted radiator will not get the airflow it needs to cool even with the fans. Why not just build a proper bumper for it and save a lot of work

General Carburetor question
A FI block may not help you much either. This is a brick with a small engine not designed for power, but for MPG. This sounds like your choke needs to be adjusted. Your pumping it may be floding it out trying to make up for a non-functioining choke.

92 Legacy Idling issues.
nipper replied to timfreddo's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXLets start with some basics. When was the last time this had a tune up and the timing belt changed. Do a tune up as fouled plugs and tired wires can cause this issue too.

nipper replied to Average Guy's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXA Fluid Flush will not help. If it is the front pump time itself will tell soon enough as it chews itself up. The noise matches engine rpm when, moving, parked, in gear, in neutral... How is the car performing otherwise. How loud is the noise. is it a whine, or closer to a scream or metalic whine. Noises are hard to diagnose over the net, so if we are wrong don't hold it against us

2000 forester...does it have 3pt belts in rear center?
nipper replied to hankosolder2's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThats odd, i would think they do, all the other soobys have them.

General Carburetor question
a 1987 has a computer feedback carb on it. This is about right as all 4cyl Mitsubishi Mightymax get 18 mpg on the epa website. Remember back then 18mpg was great for a pickup truck.

Smashed oil pan....possible problems?
nipper replied to NameTaken's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI would replace that. The oil pickup issue may not come up right away, but it may in the future, and would be a very avoidable and messy engine failure.

Clutch Pedal Behavior
nipper replied to sid_vicious's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYou are probably feeling the pedal return spring (I thnk) which you would never notice with fluid in the system.

Clutch Pedal Behavior
nipper replied to sid_vicious's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXFill it with fluid and don't worry about it. You are operating it in a way that it is not designed for so it will feel odd.

legacy wagon torque steer?
nipper replied to Meeky Moose's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXJust because the car has low miles on it does not mean it escapes the ravages of time. I have an 89 Justy in my driveway with 30,000 original miles so i know about these things. Did i miss the brand of tires on the car?

legacy wagon torque steer?
nipper replied to Meeky Moose's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXOnce this is settled never ever ever go to them again, cause they do not know anything about cars. Subarus do not have unequal length CV shafts. They are just out of answers and are BSing you. There are cars with TS, but quite a few of them have engineered it out. You caught them in a lie. I wouldnt even trust the wheel alignment. You need to have that axle addressed before winter. Winter will destroy the cv joint. Have the front end inspected by someone else, lets rule out issues the idiots may have missed. This can be a bad tie rod, busing, or ball joint. Wandering tells me a b alljoint or tie rod issue. What kind of tires did you buy from them?
