The leads on the black jumper connectors were so short it was a royal pain to connect them.. but it worked like a charm once I got it.
Thanks to all for the assist!

Gee whiz 91 with witty little remarks like that no wonder you've got so many posts.. I tried about a dozen searches for your "really common question" & put in my time reading. Besides ABS related LEDs this thread was all I came up with. Now have you got an answer? Can you point me to a...

It's a stock rad.. no aux cooler (mostly 1 passenger & no towing) re. oil pump disconnected.. Can't see how that would hurt the tranny any more than putting the car in park when you're waiting/done driving does... still removes a direct source of additional heat to the tranny & rad. I'd love...

I've put over 70,000mi on my 91 legacy & dropped it into N approaching every red light & most stop-signs over the past 7yrs.
Bought it used.. the odometer is at 146,000mi.. no problems yet.. I'll keep you posted ;)
BTW awesome forum guys.. glad I found you!!
