Nug Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I put together a 199x loyale and sold it to a friend that really needed a car. It's had some common trouble, leaking seals, blown muffler, whatever. When I got my hands on it initially, it was kinda low on transmission fluid and it smoked. All of the vacuum lines were full of ATF. New modulator from Advance, manufactured (or at least branded by) Fram fixed the problem. He calls me up (a year later) and mentioned that it was shifting funny. The car was down a quart of ATF. Car smoked. Vacuum lines full of ATF. WTH? Subaru parts only for this app? No dealers within 60 miles of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 See if Standard motor parts or Blue Streak carries the modulator. Also check out https://www.subarugenuineparts.com/oe_parts_cat.html nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Fram plain sucks. Most of the Subarus I see in the wrecking yards that are there because of engine failure are sporting Fram oil filters. I wouldnt use anything made by them:mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffast Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 what he said fram suck stick to purlator filters sold by napa, or the bosch filters are made by puralator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nug Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 Yes, I know about Fram filters. I'm interested to see if anyone else has had a Fram vacuum modulator fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misledxcracker Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 The vacuum modulator on my old DL failed. Replaced it with Fram, failed 3 weeks later. I dont trust them either :-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
