On my old tranny with 130k or so miles I used it and it seemed great until it broke from an unrelated issue.

I would think that since this fluid has better specs at the temperature extremes it would help to keep your transmission in a consistant characteristic no matter the condition.

If I remember right if you have the rear left passenger antenna the drains come together.

Easily available, Mobil 1 full synth 75w-90 for front and rear diff.

subyluvr2212: No kidding they can get stuck. I wasnt able to change it on the rear of my BC legacy (bf was fine). I used the correct size and bent the INSIDE of the plug

Redline D4 ATF! http://www.redlineoil.com/redlineoil/atfti.htm#D4ATF Good for dexron ii and iii plus mercon and gl-4 gear oil. Also supposed to improve shifting in Manual trannys that use atf.

I was wrong in one of my posts, some of the synth oils are fully synth. A few use a synthetic additive package. My bad.

Anyone want to host an image? 67k shows location of all the drain tubes!

JasonGrahn: I wasnt the original poster, just replying egacy92ej22t: You said "it seems to me that if you are prepared to spend up to 10,000$ us on an ej20t" Im saying thats what I plan to do, spend alot to have the usdm wrx ej20t and auto transmission installed into my BF. I dont see that...

As some of you may not know the all powerfull moderators on NASIOC moved the legacy forum to the "General" (crap) forums.

DLC you are our moderator on that forum! HELP US!:!::!::!::!::!::!::!::!::!::!:

The band can be adjusted. However it only effects 2 and 4. If the band was completly broken you could still get first.


If you find an auto with the correct rear differential ratio any year would be fine.

legacy92ej22t: Thats what I plan to do, whats wrong with it?

I have partially dissambled the rear and I spoke with eastbaysubaru about this very topic recently.

You can press the stud out but the parking brake gear may get in the way, so you may need to remove all of it. Eastbaysubaru replaced one of his on a turbo wagon.

How about getting a good condition ej22 na for cheap and swapping over the needed parts for cheap? Wouldnt be a monster but still decent power and for little money.

The only reason the Honda Civic crowd has a decently fast car is from weight and low drivetrain loss. If you look at the power curves generated by the stock engines its fairly average. If you want to see a quick car you would be amazed by my friends geo metro. That thing is wicked fast and handles d...

Remember, overtightening the lateral link to wheel bearing housing bolt/nut will cause the wheel bearing to repeatedly fail and needing to replace the spindle. Be careful. I suggest purchasing the MRT adjustable arms. Have you priced the rear links? When I was going through this I found the MRT ADJU...

If I remember right Im using the 22mm front with upgraded bushings and endlinks then a 18-20-22 rear bar with upgraded bushings, mounts and end links. The bar is a perfect fit on both front and rear. When upgrading the bar think about upgrading the mounts or strengthening them otherwise. The little ...

OH! Well there you go. Why not just order the bar then? You would end up with not only a larger bar but new bushings on the mounts and new bushins on the endlinks.

Strange. I ordered the rear sway bar and the replacement control arms because I knew of this problem. When my sway bar arrived it had the correct endlinks that allow it to connect to the old style lateral links!

Dirty IAC valve. The procedure has been posted a couple times on other sites, but in short you have carbon dust build up that is making the idle controller stick. Easiest way to clean: Remove pcv valve Remove top (electronic portion) of IAC Remove hose for the IAC at the intake side Fill hose with p...

My suggestion is: Dont touch the screws for the wind deflector (they strip) Pull the rails up and rest them on the stud that the brass nut came off Remove the fuzzy rectangle/round trim piece that is around the opening Scrape all the remaining black stuff off with a screw driver Put a small bead of ...

Darn, you guys forget quickly. I must have type a reply to messages like this 10 times already. The leaking comes from the cracking black sealant under the rails. It acts like a wick to pull water inside the car. It is possible to replace this with normal sealant without removing too much of the sun...

I have the correct upper diameter springs, just in need of the tops to fit them.

" I've taken it into a shop" That was your first mistake. Either do it for yourself or find a good place to take it that knows something about subaru's. The valve cover gaskets are really easy to replace. It could be done in a half hour if you have the right tools. The hardest part of the ...

I dont like it, but interesting.

So the wrx based rear mounts will bolt right up to the legacy then? If so Im going to purchase

please dont bid war with me

You dont want it. Its too expensive to repair. I had it on my legacy. Thats what the "blank" cover is on the right side of your stearing wheel.
