comatosellama Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Currently in the process of pulling my diff to weld it, and I removed the driveshaft and oil came pouring out. Didn't know if this is supposed to happen? Didn't happen on my impreza when I did the clutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tundrabrat Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) Sandwich bag and a rubber band takes care of that. Edited August 25, 2014 by tundrabrat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86BRATMAN Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 A cap from a can of spray paint also works well as a plug. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I have a driveshaft I cut off in the junkyard. I use that as a plug whenever I have to pull a trans. It fits perfectly and makes it not leak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagonist Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I'd be worried about the amount of oil in the tranny of your Impreza if it didn't come out. Or you had it parked slightly downhill. It doesn't take much of a slope before oyu can stop it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadsubiedog Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 airbag 4k? drove 35 years without an airbag. I know they come in handy. hope you had full insurance. I had a 96 outback about 11 years ago. bought for 3500 on ebay. totaled it and Liberty mutual gave me $8100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagonist Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Yeah, $4k for an airbag is steep. I was going to suggest getting one from a wrecker, but I guess if you've had an accident big enough for the bag to go off, then there's a lot more work needed... Hope you find a good replacement vehicle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you find a good replacement vehicle Either getting the exact same car, just unwrecked, or a 83 k5 civillian militarty edition blazer. 7.9 liter deisel. And we're getting what we paid back, so that's nice at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
