Hey ya'll back again (it's been so frequent this week)...anyway... I'm looking to replace the bushings for my shift linkage (the rubber and nylon ones). I've been through page after page of DIY mods on here, but I'm really just looking for part numbers 88 GL 4x4. I could have sworn last week I ran across 2 different posts with the part numbers on them, but I can't find them and like a total idiot I didn't save them...they are somewhere lost in the web I guess... When I go to parts.subaru.com and put in my VIN nothing comes up....I went to the subaru dealer and they gave me 3 different print outs and told me to basically figure it out and call them back (lame)...so I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction...also wanting to replace the shift return spring...which I think is called the accelerator spring (pretty sure i saw that on here somewhere). Any advise would be great. thanks T -
Hello I have been reading a lot but feel that due to my lack of expertise really need some ONE on ONE answers. I have a 1990 Legacy with most likely some serious bushing problems in the linkage. I was wondering if there was a more permanent solution. Rather than replacing all the bushings is there an upgraded bushing I can buy made of a better longer lasting material? Is there a whole different linkage I can buy to replace the whole thing entirely with an upgrade that performs and lasts longer? If anyone has the whole DIY with pics or a link to it that would be appreciated as well. * I saw for the most part that people were disconnecting up top from inside vehicle then from under by pushing out the 2 push washers or whatever they might be called. People suggested changing the spring, what do you think about that. Is it easier to lower the transmission a bit? Is that possible on this car? If anyone wants me to take pictures of anything I am totally up for whatever it takes to get this shifting right and comfortably again. At times I'm literally not able to shift into 2nd at all. then there will be a straight week with no issues at all. Then I might jerk the car a certain way and maybe bushing falls in the way I have no clue. Thanks all for your time. -
Hello USMB community! I am 100% new to Subaru's, and well, cars In general so please bear with me as I stumble through this explanation of what happened to my Outback While I was driving, the shifter completely disconnected from the thing it's supposed to be shifting. It's connected at the pivot bushings, but it broke right below that. The shift lever now freely moves up and down off of the drive shaft (i think). I really just need to know what connects to who and maybe a diagram or pic of someone else's assembly would help. Again, i'm new at all of this and am trying to learn as much as i possibly can to have a good , practical basis so that if a problem arises I'm not oblivious (as I am now) as to what's going on. Thanks for any help
