Put it on all the pulleys first, the geared idler pulley last. Just rotate the idler into position and start the bolt. The new style tensioners are not as good as the old ones. You can switch by changine the attach block out.

Drain the fluid and take a look. Any Metal? How's the gear lube look and smell. Put new gear lube in at the proper service level. Any change in the noise? Lot's of trans make noise, is it different from gear to gear or is it the same?

I have a coil off a 98 2.5 that will work fine. I'm in the springs. Lmdew@hotmail.com How's $30 Larry

If it started right after the fluid change, I'd say you broke a wire if you were in the pan to change the filter. It could be that some dirt has broken loose from the new fluid and clogged the C-Duty flow. Have you tried the FWD Fuse? That will tell you if the wire is broken.

The RPM sound normal for the 2.2 Legacy. How bad is the rust, you just have to think about the results of a total failure and that should guide your maintenance.

Pick one up cheap with a bad engine and then put a 95 2.2 in. Its a direct bolt up. If you look at running cars, make sure you test drive for at least 30 minutes at heavy loads and then check the overflow tank for signs of air or oil deposits (nasty black stuff).

Your best bet it http://www.ccrengines.com. They are off of 58th street on the north side. They only rebuild Subaru engines! Strickly auto is another good shop in Denver.

If you need a pump or alt I have them both. $25 each + shipping. Lmdew@hotmail.com. I'm in CO

You can drop the pan, but the engine will have to be jacked a little to get the back bolts. It easy if the exhaust pipe is dropped, but possible with it on. A used pan and plug should be at most yards. RTV is the seal for the new pan.

I have most everything you need, but its in Colorado. Not to cheap to ship to Montreal CA, but if you send enough Richards Red we may be able to make a deal.

They are different. If you need forster struts I have a set.

Yes, its part of the case.

That's the electrical connector. Look for the plug, it should be close by, just two wires. You have no power to the pump. The tank is pulled for maintenance, like changing the plugs. They just did not hook it back up.

Was there a spacer behind it?

95 is the one you want. I believe 96 and newer are interference engines. Rick at CCR will be able to confirm this for you.

14's will not fit on the Front, they hit the caliper.

CCR engines are Great, but why do you think the old one is bad? Does the sound change when the engine warms up? If so it's most likely piston slap - keep on driving it. You can check the oil pressure if the bottom end bearings are bad, pressure will be low.

In idle park hot is best. Yes, you have to check it the same all the time or you will get wierd results.

I drain and fill and then pull the return hose off the radiator. Run a hose into a gallon jug and start the engine. Pour fluid in the trans at the same rate its coming out into the jug. When you have clean fluid coming out the radiator cooler, you have flushed the trans. It takes about 3 gallons for a complete flush. Check out www.bossproductsusa.com for a great trans filter. Larry

Check out these filters. If there is enough interest, I'd do a large buy and could get them for about $35 each. I got one with my Dodge rebuilt trans and started looking into them. Great filter! http://bossproductsusa.com/products.html Let me know if you want one or more!

If cleaning does not work, let me know I have spare switch panels. I'm in the Springs. Lmdew@hotmail.com

There is a spring clip that holds the stub shaft in the Diff. If the stub shaft pulled out, look to see if the spring clip is there. If not, I'd drain the diff and see if it comes out. At any rate, you need a new clip. Pull the half-shaft pin, put the stub shaft in with a new clip and then put the half shaft back on.

You can put 12V to the pump connection as a backup to see if its the pump.

Drain the coolant Jack the front as high as you can get it Open the bleed plug on the radiator and pull the cap SLOWLY fill the coolant system (I fill through the bleed plug) you have to do it slowly that way! When full, put the bleed plug in Keep on Squeezing the upper hose until you get all the air put Start the car and repeat step above Let it come to temp and shut it off When cool, let it off the jack, fill the coolant and take it for a test drive.

If you need a good one or replacement parts, I have 3 spares. Lmdew@hotmail.com
