Louinaz Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) I blew the rear seal on my lady's 95 Subaru Legacy simple enough? Not so, upon removing exhaust & heat shield discover u-joint is shot...ok got to replace whole half shaft there fair enough. Now for the kicker once I remove the half shaft i expected to see a very worn rear seal but I don't I see broken pieces of what the seal sits in....oh grief. Question is that broken piece replaceable ie part of a tail shaft all be it only 3-4 inches or is it part of the casing?

Louinaz Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 I talked to a parts guy at a Subaru dealership explained the problem he can back with "bearing holder" around $35 bucks not one in the state. anyone heard of a bearing holder?

Louinaz Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Well just got back from under this car and it appears it does have a tail shaft......it's part of the transmission. Big bummer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louinaz Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Anyone lead me to or have a detailed diagram of a TZ102ZAAAA transmission? It would really come in handy. Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairtax4me Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Yeah the tail housing is easily replaceable. Find a junkyard that lets you pull parts. Get the tail housing and the driveshaft. The locked up u-joint is probably what caused yours to explode. The u-joints can be replaced though. Just have to chisel or drill out the staking that hold the bearing caps in. Theujointstore.com has replacements. Click the TUS-10 link. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The U-joint is really trashed I'm amazed didn't hear it or feel it...think that it's going to be a pick-a-part thing along with the tail housing. Man when it rains it pours both of my trucks are down too, I just pulled a 727 torqeflight out of one truck and it sits disassembled. And my 1 ton Cummins is down due to injector pump..that's pricey. Oh well. So when I pull the tail housing off is anything going to fling out at me? First time for me digging into anything Subaru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louinaz Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 When I pulled the tail housing a spring came out I don't know how it's configured when in place since I wasn't aware of it till the tail shaft was out and in my hands. I have a picture of it in my email how do I post the pic to get a little guidance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnceggleston Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 that spring is for the park ''pawl'', the hook that locks the trans when you put it in park. look for some pics to see how it fits. it is not complicated, but if you do not know how it goes, you can't put it back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to post a pic of what i did so you'all can congratulate or ridicule don't matter to me either way as long has it works. Btw since it is the parking pawl that means it won't engage in park or start huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
