Here's an e-mail I just sent someone with questions:

Minor rust and dents fixed before paint, paint job is great. $1K or more paint job is what you'd pay ...

Haha yep I've done plenty of riding around Salt Lake, love to cruise on the bike. Lots of weird looks, lots of thumbs up

'92, 175K miles, everything on the car is great, brand new clutch and brand new paint, no problems. $2,500

I have an amazing story.

We had almost everything together and one of the last things I was doing was putting back on the heat shield over the turbo. I was reaching over doing one of the screws and I dropped it. I heard it hit metal and it didn't make it to the ground. I stand on something and ...

Is there a plug you remove and it leaks out once you reach that limit, or should I just fill 3.something? I assume you just fill in the dipstick hole of the tranny.

Yes it fits. The only things I have left to install now are the front wheels, downpipe, slave cylinder, and put fluid in the tranny.

How much fluid do I need for the tranny? What is it like 80W90 gear oil?

I'll just leave the hole. The starter motor blocks half of it I believe.

Here's a pic of the hole I drilled:

And the plug that I cut off and then re-welded a washer and a bolt to:

And yes you have to take out that plug to get the throw out bearing off ...

Ok, first I drilled a hole in the transmission right on the side of the starter motor hole. This allowed me to use a socket wrench and extension to take the pressure plate bolts off. Now of course the tranny could be dropped. -- this was a great mod I came up with, anyone doing a clutch job should ...

That allen head plug is stuck in there really good, I can torque it to the point I start stripping and messing up the head. I'm not gonne be able to get it out OUT of the car either. Are you sure it doesn't have backwards threads or anything?

And it looks like I can't take off the pressure plate ...

Ok I think I finally found where that 10mm allen bolt is that holds the rod in that the clutch fork pivots on. The problem is when I crank on that 10mm allen bolt, even with a pipe as an extension on my wrench, it doesn't budge.

Any ideas or should I just try harder? I feel like I'm gonna break ...

Yeah I got the driveshaft apart finally.

And I also finally figured out that the front driveshafts had pins you have to remove to get them out.

I have to remove the starter and then I think I'm ready for the tranny to come off. I get the clutch tomorrow so if everything went smoothly I could be ...

I've run into one problem. I took out the 4 bolts that hold the driveshaft together in the middle, however they will still not seperate. I'm talking even with me banging on them with a hammer and screwdriver. Its like they're just corroded/rusted together, bad.

Don't you have to seperate the ...

Dang $160 thats a great deal. For the turbo model?

He needs one quick though so we already bought one at autozone for $280. It'll get here on thursday. We wouldn't have wanted to wait for eBay shipping.

And I'm using a Haynes manual if anyone was wondering.

The clutch wasn't slipping when we purchased the car, and we purchased it from a close neighbor who is a really good guy. He actually only bought the car to take the 5-speed out of and do an auto-manual swap because he has another AWD turbo Legacy wagon, but we convinced him not to part out this car ...

And I don't have an engine hoist I'm dropping the tranny not pulling the engine.

So I can use a clutch kit made for like an '02 WRX if I also get the WRX flywheel?

thepartsbin has one of those for $209, I think I'd rather do that and buy a WRX flywheel rather than paying $310 for the '92 AWD Turbo clutch.

The one we got was the bottom one for $180. It says it fits multiple cars including the AWD Turbo. However the other one for $310 says Fit Note ...

Well tomorrow I will be starting work on my lil bro's car, his clutch went out on him. He has a '92 Legacy AWD Turbo. He's only had it for a few weeks he was really unlucky that the clutch went out on him that fast.

I've been told it shouldn't be crazy hard. I've dropped AWD DSM transmissions like ...

Subaru newby, but I'm a big car guy and active AWD turbo Mitsubishi enthuasist. I own a '92 Stealth R/T TT (AWD twin turbo) and a '90 Eclipse GSX (AWD Turbo).

My bro just bought a '92 Legacy AWD Turbo 5-speed sedan! The guy he bought it from also has a '94 Legacy AWD turbo automatic wagon that he ...
