Hello Gentlemen. My friend just the the reverse gear in his 95 auto impreza, 4wd. We pretty much think the whole thing is on its way out, and would like to replace it. Are their any reputable companies that sell the tranny and warranty the first few months to a year and maybe even the labor as well? Im located in FL if that helps at all. Thanks a lot!

Ok, after a bit of searching i see this is common. I think i will take the pulley off and see if the inside is torn up/ if the key is ok. And i should probably replace them both. BUT I know i need to get the pulley, but what is this "key" part that i need to get. What is its technical name and where can i get one. Thanks!

Hello all, My friend has a mid to late 90's 2dr n/a impreza. He told me he has started to hear a bumping/clunking/loose sort of thing, so i checked it out for him. With the engine running, i look in to see that the main crack pulley is wobbling like crazy. Surely that has something to do with what hes been hearing. Today, i get a call from him and he says he was driving then he lost power steering and the batt light came on so he pulled over and found that the alt belt had come OFF the main crank pulley! And this is just after i tightened them both. The a/c belt was still off...but i could see it making its way to the edge. So i re-installed both belt, made sure they were good and tight (again) and checked the main crank pulley bolt to find IT was a little loose. So i tightened that as much as possible. But i have a couple questions: It has an automatic tranny, with a manual tranny i think i remember i could stop the flywheel so i could tighten that main crank pully bolt up or leave it in gear. Should i just put it in drive to tighten it up this time or are there any other tips? Also: Why would the main pully be wobbling this much? What would cause that? What can i do about it? Does it mean something serious is wrong? And how on earth could it wobble enough to throw the belts off....thats crazy. Thank you very much for you help!

I just moved accross state, and living expenses are getting the best of me. This was going to be my 2nd car, but basically i simply cant afford insurance for two cars.

Hey all. I just took a bunch of pics for when i make an ad to sell it with ebay or autotrader or something, but i thought you guys might like to see the pics. Wish i had this much cargo space in my car....

How, with the valvecover/head line? Is that what you guys are saying is ok? Sorry...just want to be sure. Thanks!

Then i f*ed up. At least i know why its running stupid now. Thanks NorthWet

Hello. I was just curious about soemthing. My car doesnt have any timming belt covers. And i think there is a mark on them that you center the cam gear "dot" with when installing timming belts. What can you do if they are not there? Can you use the line where the valve cover comes in contact with the head? Thanks!

I too need a picture request!! Does anyone ahve a picture of all the vacum hoses on the left/Passenger wide of the engine bay with the airbox off? I need to see where everything goes as far as cruise control, the oem boost controller looking thing, and other stuff. Just basically all the hoses that come out of the pass side of the engine, and attach to something on the pass side of the car (above the wheelwell). A close shot would be awsome, like the frame being from the fender on the left side and the middle of the engine/throttlebody on the right side as where the picture ends on the right side. Picky...arent I? moosens: Tomorrow i will see if i can run out and take a picture of what your looking for. Its too dark right now too, but ill def try tomorrow. Im *pretty* certain about all that stuff, maybe we can just compare notes, because im trying to finish an install as well.

Ok i think i might of just realized why. I didnt turn the crack 360 deg after installing one timming belt, to install the other one. I just installed them at the same time. (doh) Could this be it? haha <---newb Unfortunatly the site's repair and mod section went down RIGHT in the middle of my install. Would this page apply to the EA82T?: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=39455 If so, then i did it wrong, and need to re-install one of the timming belts.

Would this be the appropriate article for an EA82T as well?

Hello everyone. I recently put my rx's engine back in, and still havnt worked out the little kinks yet to get it to pur like a kitten. When i go to start it up, it wont start unless i give it a good bit of throttle, and try to start it with the throttle body well open. Then when it gets running, it will kind of sputter and seem to poke along, barely running. When i rev, it wont rev very high (wont go past 3k rpm or so, even when flooring it). When i drive it (just down the driveway), it doesnt have any power, and die very easily if not. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I dont think its my ignition. I know i have fuel. Im thinking timming is off (just did a timming belt job), or a vac hose is misplaced/ vaccume leak. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello all. I must admit that i am pretty depressed. I just pulled the 150k motor out of my rx and rebuilt the oil pump, did a timming belt job, vavle cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets...and some other stuff. But when i put it back in, it STILL leaks oil out of one place around the drivers side headgasket that i havnt found yet. (i just saw oil buring on the exhaust pipe, got horribly upset since i just did all that work and put the engine back in, and walked away...). Anyway, so that means i had two leaks to begin with, i just couldnt see one because the timming belt covers were in the way. Anyway...the more i think about it, the less i want to put work into this 150k mile engine. After seeing the gaskets and o-rings and such that i pulled out, made me realize that they are worn and dry all over the engine, and stuff is probably just going to keep going wrong. I have however, fallen in love with my little mint RX. And i want it to have a nice...reliable engine. I think it woudl be WELL worth the 650 bucks or whatever for a nice jdm crate engine. The question is...how good are these? I mean they are still 15+ years old! Even though they have only 30-40 k miles on them or so, what about the condition of all the gaskets and all that? Has anyone used one of these? And how has it worked out? How long before stuff started going wrong with the "new" engine? Thanks!

Bump Alright, i left the shield that covers the axle boot, and the shield ont he spare tire support, but other than that i left the couple other little ones out. From the looks of it, it should be ok. But if anyone else has any input, please feel free to add it.
