Split the evaporator box apart & can't get it back toget

My A/C system had a leak, and in an effort to diagnose it, I took off the lower half of the plastic box that covers the evaporator and expansion valve. (Turns out the evap and valve were fine, so this was all for nothing.) The damn thing will not go back together; I've tried for hours on end. I can ...

Do I have an exhaust leak?

On heavy acceleration I hear a fast "fft-fft-fft-fft" sound. Doesn't sound like mechanical tap (like a sticky lifter) or knocking/pinging sound. Can't really hear it at idle, cruising, or moderate acceleration, but I have a lot of wind noise from my passenger window/mirror, so I might just...

WTB: tow hitch and factory shop manual for 1993 Legacy wagon

Tow hitch must be local (SF Bay area) - too heavy to ship. Also looking for a paper factory service manual like this one or a CD-ROM scan of one - must be for 1993. I have downloaded the scan of the engine section on the internet, but I want to get the whole thing, chassis, brakes, etc. http://i4.eb...

It must be the larger 1.5 DIN size, like this:

not the standard DIN size (i.e. the size of a regular aftermarket deck)

gear oil

BAC5.2 - Why is fluid the most important question- are these trannies fussy about oil?

I'm using regular (non-synthetic) Valvoline GL-5 gear oil (it's either 75W90 or 80W90, I can't remember right now) - i.e. this stuff:

Bad pilot or input shaft bearing -how long till trans blows?

I have a 93 Legacy L wagon with 170K miles. At idle, it makes a low pitched rumbling sound, and the sound dissapears when you push the clutch in. The noise is not very loud. Also, while driving around town, the car makes kind of a scrapey/whiney gear noise. The whiney noise is most pronounced when y...
