Thanks for the info! Do most Japanese cars have this kind of crossbar nearby the filter, or is this something special to Subaru? At any rate, since I wasn't sure of what this crossbar was for and I could not take the filter out, I decided not to mess it further and put'em all back to gether with a n...

Thanks for your reply! A friend and I are working on a servo-unit simply to turn the cable the right speed based on wheel/axle rotation I just might have to do the same thing until I can get my speedo fixed. I don't even know what a servo-unit is, but is this something that can be done easily? Could...

Hi, The only reason as to why I wanted to replace the darn filter was that it came with the gasket as transmission filter kit. At any rate, I wasted enough time under the car, getting myself really dirty and frustrated, and I finally realized that perhaps it was just never meant to be. I wonder why ...

I have 1994 RHD Subaru Legacy L station wagon! I checked out the service manual and it did not have the section that I was hoping to find. Would it be too much trouble for you if I ask you to scan a few pages in how to replace the transmission filter along with the detailed diagram of what each comp...

Isotopeman, I have 1994 RHD Subaru legacy L station wagon and my speedo doesn't work. I was just curious if you had this speedo gear problem fixed yet. Have any thing to share? I have attempted once and it seemed to have a problem with the speedo gear. My odometer is also stopped registering. Is thi...

Thanks Thawa for your reply! I will see if anyone else is willing to give me some advices to help me get the job done. I do have a transmission oil cooler, but I don't think that I have an external transmission filter. I will look into that! Thank you! I have Haynes Repair manual, but it doesn't hav...

I have 1994 RHD Subaru Legacy L station wagon! I am trying to replace the transmission filter and gasket, and I was wondering if there is a peculiar way of extracting the transmission filter out of where it is. Dropped the transmission pan and removed all of the filter bolts, but there is a metal tu...

A couple things. When I replaced mine I had left that one washer in there, and the piece didn't fit right. It was only after I removed the old washer that it fit right. With the old washer out, I could see the gear and to the tranny....I think. I am looking at my speedo cable bases (old and new one...

I can't see any way of taking out the gearing inside of the tranny for the cable w/o taking the tranny apart :/ MK That's OK! If that is the case, I am gonna have to forget about this for now! I've got a few other things to work on! About your spare tranny, how much did you pay for it? If the price...

Josh, Yes! That was what I meant by 3 pieces. From what I hear, I should be able to put the pieces together and reuse it! Under the speedo base inside the transaxle, I see some sort of washer and slotted mechanism (is this the speedo gear?). Have you tried to remove them? Perhaps, this is specific t...

Dear MK: Have you had a chance to check out your spare tranny? I would like to know if the speedometer gear can be removed without having to drop the transmission? When I unscrewed the speedo cable base off the tranny to further investigate, this speedo cable base fell into 3 pieces. Did I just brea...

Thanks MK for the info! My Hanes repair manual doesn't show anything about removal/installation of this speedo gear part. Could you or someone scan the pages related to this subject and post it up for me? I'd like to assess if this is something that I can manage it myself. If it truly is more than I...

Thanks Josh for the info! I replaced the speedo cable base that you included in other thread (http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru/images/speedocablebase.jpg) about a week ago or so, and my speedometer still doesn't work. As I indicated earlier, the speedometer gear inside the transmiss...

I have a 1994 RHD Subaru legacy L wagon and I would like some advices from you. My speedometer stopped working about 3 months ago and I have verified that my speedometer and the speedo cable were OK (I pulled the speedo cable out of the transaxle and connected my drill at the end of it. My speedomet...

I have not yet explored the area under the plastic retainer and the speedo cable that I pulled seemed to be one solid piece (with a square head on each end) connecting the speedometer unit and the speedo cable connector that screws onto the right side of transaxle. Are you saying that there is anoth...

Hi petridish38, I have a 1994 RHD (right hand drive) Subaru Legacy-L station wagon and perhaps you could help me out on this speedo issue. You have mentioned in your reply that there are two different cables that connect together. Could you elaborate as to how you fixed the speedo problem? I have re...
