the knock sensor and cv axel are fairly easy to do, as long as you have a 32mm socket to get the castle nut loose. i always end up undoing the strut from the knuckle to remove the axel...roll pin punches help as well to get the pin out.

you are forgiven, my main point of the update for fluid choice was if i got the correct weight. is the 80-90 alright? i haven't seen a 75-90 weight without it being advances brand.

its not all lucas, the 80-90 gear oil is made by lucas. its their own brand of GL-5 gear oil. the oil stabilizer is also made by lucas, im just not sure if that is the proper one for a manual trans, the guy at advance said it would work.

so i ended up picking up 80-90 gl-5 gear oil, not remembering what was recommended on here. it is a lucas gear oil though, not sure if that makes any difference, what i did have in my hands were the valvoline synthetic 75-90 gear oil. i did however pick up the bottle of lucas, the guy said that...

ive heard quite a few people love the weather tech floor mats, the mats themselves, then the factory formed ones as well, that have a bit of a lip around the edges to trap the snow, water, dirt and grime that may happen to fall into them

update on the problem, it really only seems to whine a little bit when the fluid is cold...it tends to go away after about 5-10 min (weather dependent) little more time in colder days (lower than 40 degrees)  but when its really warm and nice out (over 60) it doesn't do it at all, i...

theres a late 80's chevy cavilier convertable down the street from me for 1500. all i have seen that it needs is a new back window for the top. its red with a black top

dont worry, it would try to be sold in the forum first. and youll have first dibs

im just going to change the fluid in the trans, maybe the clutch if it gives my any serious problems, and work on saving for a car payment (as much as i dont want too) cuz i cant keep trying to put more money into this car than it seems to be worth to me. fwd in the winter...dont really care for...

most likely, i heard it whine a little bit in 2nd, seems to only really happen in the lower rpms (less than 2k) i still need to save money and have my clutch done. meyagi lives too far away for it to make it worth it for me right now. hopefully i can talk with my boss at work and him and i can...

i let the car warm up a little this morning (stupid weather patterns) as well as this afternoon once i had left work, taking it easy in first gear i didnt hear the whining like i had in the past. it seems like its being a tempermental pain

Where can i pick up said Amsoil? Im trying to remember what store i have seen it at

Im trying to remember if there is a drain plug for the transmission on my car I know my Outback had one for the automatic trans

well that's good to know, ever since i first started hearing the noise ive been taking off a lot easier, i wait until tail end of 2nd and into 3rd gear to romp on it. it is an older trans too, as far as i know its the original transmission for the car. so that makes it 21 years old with...

ive got a pair of oem struts in the rear with wrx stock springs in the rear, it actually lifted the back end of my car back to possibly original ride height, loving the way the back end handles now, gotta do the fronts once this tranny issue is taken care of i had a 98 outback that had legacy...
