Well some parkinglot revving at lunch confirms it... it's not the diff. With the car in neutral it still makes the whistling noise at really high rpm. I can't believe I didn't think to try that before haha. It sounds like it's coming from the front of the car now that the car is at a stand still. Ha...

Thanks again for the help! Funny thing is... after I wrote this post and read over it before I posted it something just didn't sound right. I've been thinking about it and if it is a worn diff. bearing that is making that high pitched whistling noise (does it ever day at the top end of each gear bef...

Thanks for all the help! My '96 Legacy is a 2.2 MT. The one junk yard I've checked out by my place has 2 '93 legacy's and 2 '00 impreza's. Going to pull my diff this weekend and have a good look at it before I go back. Going to check around some other local junk yards too. Thanks again for the help!

Hello, I've got a '96 Legacy L Wagon with 210,000 kms and she's running stronger than ever, with the exception of the rear differential. For the past 10,000 kms or so any time the drivetrain is under heavy load (climbing hills, hard acceleration) the rear differential makes a high pitched "sque...

Haven't looked into this much yet but I was thinking of swapping the EJ22 out of my '96 legacy wagon (MT) and throwing an EJ22T in this winter, should fit eh?

I've got a 1996 Subaru Legacy Brighton Wagon and I can't for the life of me find the trailer wiring connector... I've got the Haynes repair manual and the wiring diagram indicates that the 96/97 Legacy's are fitted with trailer wiring provisions but I can't find them anywhere! If someone could tell ...

Thanks for the fast reply! I'll most likely be ordering one of those tomorrow! I've never had the tranny off my car, but I'm pretty excited to get in there. Are there any good resources for doing subaru clutches I should know about? I'm glad to know that this site is here in case I come across any m...

Over the past few weeks I have noticed that my clutch has started slipping on my 96 legacy wagon in the higher gears and on hills. It seems to only do it when it's really cold out but I figure it's only a matter of time before it slips all the time. My questions are: 1) What is a good kit to order? ...
