Few things id try first. Fluid swap and replace external filter and a band adjustment. Failing that i would upgrade. I went with a 97 leg gt tranmission and swapped the rear diff to match ratio. It works fine with the stock tcu. And is supposedly a better built tranny. I did the valve body upgrade ...

so ive got most of the quirks on my legacy worked out. only 2 problems remain: the AC and the transmission. the tranny is the most pressing. it shifts into gears fine, albeit a little slowly from park to reverse or drive. on the road it shifts normally. when you give it gas at normal speeds (35 - 65...

apologies, car is a 91 legacy L. i will take a video of it tomorrow because its a really strange issue.

thats the best way i can describe it. honestly, searching google led me to a recall that sounds exactly like whats happening: "UNDER CERTAIN LOAD CONDITIONS, THE PARK GEAR MAY NOT DISENGAGE IMMEDIATELY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION LEVER IS MOVED FROM PARK TO REVERSE." this is pretty much whats ha...

so i know you have to jump something to get the codes, but i simply CANNOT find a how-to on this forum, or anything relevant to be honest searching 'how to obtain check engine light codes' comes up with many threads on WHAT codes people get, but not HOW they got them i have a 91 legacy L im going to...

thank you so much, im still making sense of all this but its coming together. we checked (and replaced just in case) all the relays under the hood. checked ALL the fuses under there. before i had replaced the AC compressor, i did notice the AC fuse was blown. replaced it weeks ago but checked it aga...

we jumpered one set and the fans came on. we jumpered the second set and nothing happened. would this indicate a bad pressure switch?

alright, so i went back to my scooby mech and we did a bunch of testing. we confirmed the AC does indeed work and that the radiator fan and aux fan both come on when the engine reaches a certain temp and the AC is engaged manually. determined that either the pressure switch or the HVAC controls insi...

yeah the pressure switch on the dryer is hooked up. any way i can test if its good or not?

are the only fuses for the AC on the relay panel under the hood, or is there one located under the dash as well?

its raining outside, bad, so dont wanna go outside til later . any info is appreciated!

so im in texas, weather here sucks during summer. i got a reman compressor to replace the one that was in the car (91 legacy L wagon, dcw17 compressor). got everything hooked up, pulled a vacuum, held at 29.5 for over an hour after we disconnected it. replaced all the gaskets before hand, as well as...

i got the car from her, the 91 (not the 97 that blew the hg). she has a track out in san marcos that i need to get out on once. so, i know what compressor i need, flush the system before recharging, use a 3oz can of pag-100 oil, 2 cans of r134. dryer already replaced, vacuum'd the system once and it...

alright, woke up, checked out compressor. i have a DCW17 compressor. will be ordering this one up and following your thread. THANKS SO MUCH for all that info!

oh lord THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT INFO!!!! im in texas also, san antonio. do you know brianne corn by chance? anywho, the car is a 91 legacy L, 2.2 motor (non-interference i believe). the dryer has been replaced, the lines had a vacuum pulled on them but were not flushed. we didnt get that far, as ...

im doing a conversion on my AC system and discovered (after replacing the gaskets, dryer filter..) that the compressor is seized. will need a new one. im looking on amazon for a reman and found one that will suit my needs, but i had a q about the compressor itself. there are 2 types that amazon list...
