RallyKeith Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 The starter solenoid on my father's 96 Impreza L with a 5 speed died the other night. The Starter it self is fine, it's only the solenoid. Acording to Advance Auto the solenoid itself is different from AT to MT and the price goes from $37 for the AT solenoid to $118 for the MT. What gives? Can there really be a difference in the solenoid? I swear I took apart an AT starter to grease a sticking solenoid two weeks ago and it looked identical to the MT solenoid we pulled out of my father's car last night. Anybody know the answer to this one? Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RallyKeith Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 Answered my own question basically. My father called the Subaru dealer and they said it's the same solenoid for 1.8 or 2.2, MT or AT. They of course wanted $170 for it! So as usual the generic Parts computers don't know what they are talking about. Ordering the $37 part from advance tonight and we'll see if it works.
