97 OBW pic of auto tranny & solenoids wanted


Recommended Posts

o.k. I forget if I found this info here or in the electronic copy of the FSM but I can't find it tonight and I need it.

 

I have a 97 OBW with the P0740 & sometimes P0743 codes. Points to Solenoid B. I'm also parting out a 99 OBW and was gonna swipe solenoid B. But I can't find the pic that shows which one it is. I had found a nice black & white pic but I can't find it now. An easy to read diagram would also work. I'm not bright enought to read a real electrical diagram.

 

All I have remaining to take off this car is the Duty B solenoid and the fuel sending units and it's outta here.

 

Thanks for any assistance.

Thanks. Not what I had found before but I found something that might work in one of those articles. Hard to tell since it's such a closeup pic.

 

What I had found before was a pic after the pan was removed. It labeled all the solenoids around the edge, etc.

 

Tomorrow I'll look at the car after reviewing the Endwrench pic again. The pan is already off.

 

Appreciate the assistance.

The transmission are not the same , the 97 is a 1st gen trany and the 99 is a 2nd gen trany ( spin on filter)

The valve body are totally different

 

Hope this helps

i don't know a lot about auto trans, but even if the valve body is different as you say, the duty b may be the same. especialliy if you are just swapping that part, which is way more work than i'd attempt. the duty c i swapped was a fairly simple electric device, i can't imagine they redesigned it just because they upgraded the trans, but maybe they did.

 

the trick would be getting part numbers to compare.

Funny I was debating about the Duty C and rear clutch pack. Car has 200k and tranny was shot when it arrived so they aren't known good parts.

 

I was thinking of doing it just to do it. But I have other stuff backing up.

 

Infact I'm about to give up and drill holes in a good fuel tank since I just pulled the pumps.

 

A tranny guy I use can get me a new correct (probably not Subaru but the part# listed for the 97) for under 100 bucks. I just had this 99 on the lift parting it out.

 

Thanks for the help folks.
