"nasioc",!?!?!?!?!!??! always beware of impreza drivers----lol. never trust them.

recently did a awd convert to my 92 2wd. got a wagon cheep,used the trans,tank,and complete rear assembly including struts from the wagon. deffinately stiffer in the rear. also got rid of the sagging look (even with new 2wd springs) in the rear doesn't looke jacked-up though. soon i'll be swapping o...

probably for safety. years ago, i was working @ a buick dealer,we had this young kid who was kind of a bonehead. he was (for some reason) trying to put up a customer's l/f window while standing outside the car. well, he ended up pinning his right arm to the top of the door and couldn't reach the swi...

check the crank bolt. you may have the good old sheared keyway if its loose.

i remember reading an article that stated that during the 100,000 stretch, the legacy averaged 138 mph. i think i did a web search and it was in a wikipedia article.

at 55 and up, i'd be inclined to think axle wear/balance might be an issue. or of course iced up wheels? i'm assuming your front end is all tight and tires have been balanced.

just leave it in the uprught position and all will be fine. the oil will leak into the cyls when its left @ unnatural angles.

check your amp ground. if no problem there, sounds like a possible problem in the amp. try it in another car?

thanks jefferson for your response. btw,subaru doesn't offer a reman---only new complete assem for $630.00.

i'm getting an anoying rumble between 35-45 mph. i've done some checking and found a slightly binding u-joint @ the rear diff yoke. the joints appear to be permanently installed by a special press. anyone find another source besides a salvage yard for the back half of the driveshaft? btw its a 92 5m...

thanks for checking leg777. oh,well

legacy777, if you have the fsm,could you check a location for the delay module? alldata doesn't show a location.only shown in a circuit diagram. btw, my gauge seems to be working better and better. gotta wonder if the level resistor corroded a little during the 1.5 years the parts car sat and is now...

i just got done with stealing 4wd from a 93 wagon to make my 92 sedan into 4wd. all i did was capped the right5 side vent and connected the one closest to the center of the tank to the one running across the tank and all has been well for a couple hundred miles so far. i am getting a lot of guage fl...

thank you ciper for your responses. they've answered my questions pretty thoroughly. by the way, i was mostly asking about 5mt awd trans.

the back is up a little--kind of looks like the same fender to tire clearence as the front. the ride is slightly stiffer too,but not bad.

well, she's done. only one stumble i didn't plan on----the shifters are different. the awd sits closer up to the body to accomodate the driveshaft. the shifter posts are also styled different. now the rear sits a little higher since the donor car was a wagon. the fender to tire clearence is about eq...

not trying to aggrivate,but what signs are exhibited by a coupler failure? front wheel drive only? rear wheel only? 4wd lock? i only have limited experience with 4eat's. that may be where the confusion lies.

this thought only came to mind because i've been told that the main reason that couplers fail was improper tire matches--front to rear. i also thought when the coupler fails, the rear wheels don't give the right amount of assist/or none. this lead me to believe the cars are primarily front wheel dri...

would there be problems with removing the driveshaft between the carrier and the rear diff? would this lessen the summertime wear on my viscious coupler(5mt awd)? help gas mileage?

just throwing a couple guesses into the mix: maf? possible crank bolt issue ----throwing the timing off?

i'm ok with a slight lift to the rear. i tend to carry a little weight back there anyways. thanks for the responses guys.

antone have a source for a brush guard that'll hold a set of lights? been looking around and not finding any.

i run a very busy 1-man repair shop, and have kids,so my time is limited. planning on pulling parts from donor on saturday. my new clutch shuold be here monday-ups. next saturday i'll have time for swapping my 2wd to 4wd. i'll post back after that.

so, i should notice a bit stiffer in the rear,and no change in height?

murphy, you had the same idea i did. i rigged up a switch to drop the power to solenoid c. it worked great,but the 4eat took a dive after a couple real hot suppers and the rest of the car didn't warrant a re-build-----car scrapped except for the engine.
