I lucked out and White Bear Subaru had the part I needed (#737411752- the 'spark-plug'-like thingy that threads into the from diff off the speedo cable) to fix the problem. They 'matched the 'old'(?) price and I got it for about $12 (they orig. wanted $18.89!?) Everythings back together and I've got...

Thanks for the feedback. I got the assy. apart- it was the typical problem mentioned with the bushing siezing up and snapping off the flat-drive that 'plugs' into the front diff. The dealer didn't have the part in stock (but had the cable)- actually their parts diagram showed a longer tube-like affa...

When it rains, it pours...... Out making deliveries last night and just happened to be glancing at the speedometer when it.... QUIT..... Now I gotta figure out if the speedo failed (no odometer or cruise control either), or the 'good 'ol transmission shop' managed to leave the cable pickup loose eno...

4EAT Transmission Experiences
First of all, this is a little long, but very 'educational'. Many of you may recall that I bought a '94 Subaru Touring (Turbo) Wagon from Chicago on an eBay auction last April. Disappointingly, after I got it home, I found several conditions needing upgrade/repair, including 2 front axles (3 of 4 bo...

Sticky Wastegate?
I've started noticing a problem with my '94 Turbo Touring Wagon lately. On occasion I will hear a 'whooshing' sound upon the start of an 'acceleration run' and a loss of power. If I briefly back off on the throttle, it sometimes 'resets' and I get full boost/power. It seemed to me to be a sticky was...

It intermittently turns on oand off. Normally, Subaru compressors are 'on' most all the time with 'off' periods only to defrost, etc. When the compressor does choose to come 'on', the fans start, too. A tech I knew said their is a sensor with a long tube(?) that snakes into the evaporator that he ex...

'Search' Function Not Working(!?)
I tried doing a search to see if I could find a previous post regarding my A/C electrical issues, but the search returned nothing. I wasn't sure if there wasn't anything related, so I tried searching for 'Legacy' and also 'turbo'- still nothing returned.
What's up with that?!

A/C Troubleshooting (It's getting HOT out!)
The A/C in my '94 Touring Wagon is operating intermittently. A tech I know said he saw a similar problem with a thermostat that snakes into the evaporator(?), so that may be it, but I'd like to research the system. I already know there are no leaks and I have a proper working freon system- it is som...

I see that there are many more of us now that have both Legacy's and SVX's. I've owned my SVX since 1998 w/ only 27,000 mi's on it and now it's up to about 134,000. My problems have been minimal- mostly maintenance issues. My 'ride' previous to that was a '91 Legacy SS, so when I needed a 'utility' ...

Need a 4EAT or Transfer Clutch Assy.
It looks like I need to either replace or rebuild the auto transmission in my '94 Touring Wagon (turbo). I've got no RWD and the transmission is shifting less than 'perfect'. The question is- do I just repair/replace the AWD transfer clutch assy. or do I go for a whole trans 'swap'. Anyone out there...

After several attempts at using aftermarket brake pads (and then swearing I'd never do it again!) I've resolved myself to ONLY use the Subaru OEM brake pads. (I've driven Subaru's since '81) I don't know what they do to them or what material they use, but they DON'T squeal! They may cost a little(?)...
