I have gone to another mechanic and discussed this car problem of head gaskets that I am having. The mechanic that found the problem. He has highly recommended not to have it fixed but pass the car onto someone who has the "know how " to fix it. My shade tree mechanic may be in over his head. Being a woman who's raw nerves are being tested I am throwing in the towel. Thank you Johneggleston for answering previous questions. Jessie

Jonceggleston. Hello again.. I am very confident that you know what you are talking about. The mechanic is very curious .. so now to keep good graces with him. I will ask and if you can give me an answer that would be good and I understand beyond the call of duty. What does not fit on the 95 subaru engine with the 2001 subaru engine? My mechanic is very curious and short of letting him tear into my car to find out why.the 95 engine does not fit. Really??? not going to happen..... can you tell me in simple terms the following? I bet you think this is a joke .. really it isn't.. I am a woman just trying to keep the peace... 2. Does the 1995 Bell Housing fit or not and why? 3. Does the Torque Converter swap to flywheel why or why not? 3. Would the motor mounts match.. could they be retrofitted? 4 What is the dif in the two engines and does it bolt up? I do like my mechanic and this might make him a happier mechanic.. they can be an eccentric breed. Thank you again. Jessie.

Johnceeggleston, thank you so so so so much for your feedback. Your an angle in disguise. I will be sharing this with my mechanic .. who can do the work and will be amazed that I found answers. thank you again .. Jessie.

I am new to this site. I find the sincerity of the folks here very heart warming and even at this late date send my sympathies to Ed's family and all of his friends on this site.

Thank you so much for your in put..I found some info that had stated that it might be that only 00-04 would be compatible. the car does burn oil.. that is a concern. .. I was also reading about head gasket stop leak. it does not sound good. the mechanic is willing to put in a 60k engine for swap of my lovely 1970 honda 90 trail bike. I am woman who is willing to watch and learn.. but know zero or may not have been into this car for so much $, that I now feel the need to save my investment with a new motor. My mechanic, that is willing to make the swap, had questions and so will ask them here: 1. Will 1995 Automatic transmission fit? I understand from Johnceeggleston that it will not swap.. thank you so much for replying. John 2. Does the 1995 Bell Housing fit? 3. Does the Torque Converter swap to flywheel? 3. Would the motor mounts match.. could they be retrofitted? 4 What is the dif in the two engines and does it bolt up? I am beginning to understand what this means in images of engines. My shadetree mechanic.. knows old model cars and motors and engines and welds and would like to find out if the 1995 could be retrofitted to my car. YES i understand how it would be the best and easiest and really work to use 00-04.. but for the sake of following through with my part of how to find an engine that will work in my car and to have done research, I will ask the questions. I understand how busy you all are.. life is like that.. and once again.. Thank you so much for any questions you can answer and most definitely for answering in the first place. Have a wonderful day. Jessie.

Hello. I have a 2001 legacy standard wagon subaru. Will an engine from a 1995 automatic transmission fit the 2001? Will the Bell housing fit? Will The Torque Convertor Swap to the fly whell? Will Motor mounts fit? Does it bolt up and what are the differences in the two engines? I am doing the research for a mechanic able to put a new engine in my tired car. I have done lots of fixes and paid it off. and then bingo.. oil in the cooling system. There appears to have been a head gasket replacement once. and of course it was used when I got it. Advice would be very welcome. thank you for taking the time to answer any or all of my questions.
