Re: Brake pedal fades 1" while stopped and brakes are applie
My AC compressor is unplugged at the moment because my orifice tube / expansion valve is bad. In these winter months, when I use my defrost and the A/C automatically kicks on, my expansion valve / orifice tube freezes my evaporator. So, when it gets colder out, I unplug my compressor, so that I can ...

Re: Manual transmission overhaul- '94 Legacy GT
SubyLuv871, No, my transmission does not pop out of any gear. I get a little bit of bearing noise. I think it's the front diff. It's not input shaft bearing noise, like on the 99 - 03 Legacies - Outbacks. My bearing noise isn't even that horrible. I'm more apt to rip into my transmission to try to t...

Re: ABS Fault Code 16
Josh, thanks yet again. I did locate it this morning. I read online that the ignitor was supposedly the G-sensor, FAIL. Then the guy whom I bought my used G-sensor from told me it was on the passenger strut tower; which drove me up a wall because we know it's not located there either. Then the selle...

Re: Car wandering?
Josh, thanks for the reply. I did come across the write up on the KYB struts. But is it not messed up of KYB to sell me struts for my '94 Legacy GT that have the lower spring perch welded in a different location than stock ? I am not the original owner of the car and a previous owner may have instal...

Brake pedal fades 1" while stopped and brakes are applied
I have this weird issue with my brake pedal feel. Besides the common spongy feel to the brake pedal, when I have come to a complete stop and I'm standing still at a traffic light with my foot on the brake pedal, "intermittently and randomly" sometimes the brake pedal will drop about 1"...

Manual transmission overhaul- '94 Legacy GT
I am experiencing some normal driveline play, internal to my transmission. I say "normal" because my car has over 300,000 miles on it. I also have the typical bearing whine coming from my transmission. I get the whining when the vehicle is in motion, under load. I figure if I'm going to go...

ABS Fault Code 16
I have a 1994 Legacy GT that is triggering fault code 16 in the ABS control module. I read a PDF online that says my car could have a Bosch ABS system, a Nippon 2E system or a plain Nippon system. I have determined that I have a Nippon system and I have the LED on the control unit, so I'm not sure i...
