I'd hit the yard and pull the harness. You will learn a lot and if it's bad you can return it.

Bushings look like they are shot as well.

Nothing newer then 2006 is my solution.

I picked up an 05 Impreza OBS for a friend. It was hit in the front. The fellow that bought it from the insurance auction put a bumper on it. Runs great, made the trip from NM to CO without a problem. The headlighs are aftermarket and not good. I thought no problem, should be able to pick some up at the yard. Come to find out, 2005.... are all unique cars. I'm pretty sure, if I change everything, I could use 2005 - 2007 parts and may be more. Parts for the swap, Fenders, Hood, Headlights, Bumper... I miss the good old days!

Crankshaft Keyway worn. Removed Key and cleaned up crankshaft with fine sandpaper. Installed crank gear and HB and torqued the bolt to 160 ftlbs. Installed new Idler pulleys and new DACO Timing Belt. Turned the engine over by hand and everything felt good and timing marks lined up correctly. Tried to start the engine, it wants to run but is just not there. With the gas to full throttle the engine will run. I ran out of time and had to head south. It has the old-style tensioner and it was very hard to compress.

I know GD has posted this more than once, but the internet was not happy at the Denver airport today. On Amsoil it said it was 51365EA. Just wanted to double check. Thanks

They said they wanted to keep it. I told them, I could hopefully get it together and running. Get the old key, what is left of it out. Set the timing marks Install a new Balancer and torque to 140 fl lbs. See if it runs Alt install Fans install and give them a running Subaru.

Crank gear is shot. 3/8" play back and forth on the shaft as I rotate the the cam gear. Part of the key is moving and all buggered up. I hope I can fish it out so I can get the crank gear off.

I looked at a 94 Impreza, only 145K. The Damper was completely gouged out. There was only about a 1/16" of the keyway still showing. Move up and down on the crank shaft 1/4". Key was moving in the gouged crankshaft 1/4". I stopped there as the owner didn't want to go any further. I have the key tig welded to the crankshaft. I know others have used JB Weld or just aligned the crankshaft gear and then torqued down the bolt as much as possible. I should have taken a picture.

Empty. Last Day - heading to recycle Monday.

She'll like ones that fit! Happy Holidays.

Used seats are pretty cheap at you pull yards. Glad you found a fix.

Could head to the yard and pull a complete harness and swap them out. Sounds like he may have more going on with the trans.

I forget if you ground it I think it goes full hot. You can check the resistance and see what it does with increase of temperature.

I've had good luck with the repair kits.

Always good to to the yard and try it on a car there. Most of them have a little press to release tab.

Most likely the rear separator plate. It's easy once you have the engine out. Unless there is clear damage to the rear main, leave it alone. The separator plate, clean reseal and locktite the screws. You should have the aluminum separator plate.

Happy to bring a rust free Colorado Subaru back to WI for you. I've done half a dozen over the years for family and friends. Enjoy the new to you Subaru,

A loss for Portland, OR Subaru Owners for sure! Enjoy the next phase of life. Thanks for all the answers and information you provided on USMB!

Disabled! Thanks.
