I Figured that....was just hoping in the wind that someone would have a mirical fix like so many other things you guys have come up with. Thanks anyway!

When under constant acceleration, it stays in 5th gear. If you let up and the RPM's drop by more then a few 100, it slips out of gear. That is, mostly out of gear.....you can hear/feel it in the shifter hitting/bouncing on the gear, but you still have to clutch it to get it back in. What give? Need ...

That figures. Goes to show that the Keep It Simple principal usually applies.

BUMP.....My problem hard start problem was solved with a battery replacement.

How much for the tranny?

Mattheww044 posted on here as well. I was just responding to him, that's all.

Thanks. I'll ask the guy if he used the autozone nut. Just went and bought the autozone halfshaft.......I know, I know, but I need my car now. I'll just budget for the good one a couple years from now. Thanks for all the help!

Thanks alot! I thought it would be a nightmare. The guy I bought it from had just replaced the same axle, but I was told that if he didn't torque it down enough, it would go out again. Is that true, or is there a bigger problem going on that' causing it?

It only does it when I turn right and accelerate at the same time.

I had someone tell me it could be the wheel bearing too. What's the chances?

I'd like to come, but I just bought my poor sw and it's not in good shape yet. Lots of rust in the usual places, and need ing some body work. I'd be embarassed to show my face with my car in site.

Mattheww044: Mine was just the computer. When I bought it, niether one had worked for quite a while, I was told.. I swapped the computer with one from the junkyard and they both work perfectly! :-) Since you swapped the computer and they worked for a while, then one quit again, I'd try another compu...

The cr's at home, I'm not. I'll have to check that when I get there.

You could just get one from a junk yard. I picked one up for "free" when I was buying another part.

I'm thinking wheel bearing or cv joints. The guy I bought the car from just recently replaced the right front axle, so I'm not sure what it is.

Any advice?

Here's a pic...

UPDATE: I took the right front wheel off and found the sway bar link missing!
What damage could this have done to the car?

When I turn left I hear a "clicking/knocking" sound from the right front. It only does it under acceleration though. If coasting, it stays quiet as a mouse.

I'll check that as well. Also, not only does it ha ve a hard start when cold, but after it's running, if I give it gas before it warms up a little, it studders and trys to die unless I let up or really give it to it.

Mine has a hard start when cold. Coolant lvl good. Will have to check relay in morning.

Are the wire for the black connectors black as well. I found two wires without the black plastic connectors that are hanging down, they both have the male ends that fit into a female spade connector. About 3/4" long each.

I found the green connectors. They were just hanging there. The black ones are MIA.

I have a 1993 Subaru Legacy L AWD Wagon with the same problem. Haven't been able to get it to quit either. Also, I just bought this car a couple of weeks ago and the check engine light was already flashing the codes at me. I assume the previous owner left the two black wires connected, but for the l...
