Re: AWD slipping

Took it to a shop to have them look at it. I was told that the right rear wheel bearing is bad. Would this be the cause to my AWD slipping problem?

Re: 3 of 4 windows do not work

I'm glad you don't know my real name or where I live. I had never looked that close at that button to see what it does. I will go hit myself repeatedly with the "duh" stick.

3 of 4 windows do not work

1993 Legacy Wagon. The driver's window works and none of the others work at the drivers door or at their own switch. I could not find a fuse under the dash or hood that said anything about windows. Did I miss what the fuse is that I should be looking for? Is there another location for the window fus...

Re: RPM vs gas mileage

Just changed the plugs & wires, fuel filter and knock sensor. All my miles are highway and 20 mpg is not what I need for 100 + miles a day travel. My 93 Legacy was getting 28mpg. I'll look into the 02 sensor.

Re: RPM vs gas mileage

How do I find out what gear ratio/final drive this car has? When I compared cars on Kelly Blue Book it showed the same as our 2001 Forester that gets better mileage. My previous Legacy got better mileage. I need to find a Subaru that gets more than 20 on the highway.

RPM vs gas mileage

1996 Legacy GT wagon. Automatic. At 70mph it runs 3,100 RPM +/- I am only getting 20mpg at best. Engine has recently been tuned up and runs great as far as I can tell. Our 2001 Forester (automatic) is only running about 2,800 RPM @ 70mph. The transmission shifts solidly through the gears. What shoul...

Re: AWD slipping

Thanks for the quick reply. Is this something that someone with average mechanical skills could do? Where is a good place to get replacement parts for a good price?

AWD slipping

Not knowing what everything is called I am asking for help. I bought a 1993 Legacy wagon with an automatic transmission. It lost spark and I towed it to get it looked at but did not know to disengage the AWD with the fuse. Now it is a FWD car only, if the front wheels slip enough the rear will engag...
