I did the band adjustment today. I was able to do it the short cut method ,and bypass dropping the tranny ect.... The only things i had to do was disconnect the battery,remove the vacuum booster hose, and unbolt the positive cables from the starter. I used a stubby 17mm combination wrench and an 8mm...

I do remember that the guy who did do it the way via the starter had a 98' model. Unfortunately, it does say for models 90'-92' you have to go through unbolting the engine stop,disconnecting @ the Y pipe, crossmember removel,ect....blah,blah,blah. Well,...i did want to inspect my exhaust system anyw...

anybody??

I know,..i know,..this has been covered on numerous occassions. :shock: My question is to find an easier way to adjust this bugger!! I have a 90' Legacy and i can see the locknut and screw pretty clearly from the engine compartment. Reading the "How to's" it looks pretty involved,...not th...

buuuuump!!

Well i did as you (Legacy777) suggested. Pulling the fuse did clear the codes. It now just flashes steady in both modes. I drove her to work, checked it,drove her home and checked again,...no codes!! Wooohooo!!! LOL!!! Now as for that hesitation problem in 3rd gear,...i mentioned the delay or lag fr...

Does the power light flash 16 times on startup? If not, those codes might be stored codes. I'd suggest clearing the codes by pulling fuse 14, EGI/TCU fuse for about an hour. You may want to check your ECU for any stored codes, because it will clear as well. After clearing the codes, drive the car a...

bump me up!!!

I have a previous post on here asking about hesitations in my auto tranny. My curiosity also led me to Josh 's website and how to do self diagnosis check on the TCU. Upon checking,..and mind you i'm not flashing any current codes.I performed the "existing "problem check and my "power&...

Welcome to the BBS. Usually shifting issues like that are related to an improperlly adjusted brake band, however the brake band handles the 1-2, & 3-4 shift. The 2-3 shift is more clutch related I believe. There may be something up with internal line pressure that may be causing the problem. My...

Oh one other thing,...i know that the tranny is a suppose to be 4 spd auto,but is it normal for them to drop about 200 RPM at cruising speed,almost as if it has a bit of an overdrive? :? THanks Again!! Yeah...it's when the TC locks up, I believe...almost feels like 4.5 gear, in my experience. Get t...

Hi, Another thing to try is a different TCU/tranny computer. Not likely the cause, but since the trans was already replaced it could be involved. Also, if you get a newer TCU from a '92+ you can do THIS mod, that may help. I'd also suggest doing an ATF service. But check yours for that burnt smell ...

I'm new,...and know this has probably been covered numerous times. 90' Legacy Sedan automatic 114K miles. Have had the car for about 6 months and have had this problem since i purchased. Previous owner had replaced the tranny,but didn't get specific on the reason why. Shifts great 1st to 2nd, 2nd to...
