clutch fluid is the same as brake fluid so you can get at part store

I think it may need to be tuned up. When it is warm it doesn't do this I gather, even a little bit warm.

Could also be a fuel delivery problem. hm.

Most likely, the caliper is stuck on its support pins and fails to slide on these anymore. (The amount of sliding moton, when the brakes are appplied, is very small.) When the caliper is frozen" on the pins, one brake pad wears much more than the other, and puts undue side thrust the rust on the rotor. This is a common problem in the "rust belt" where road salt is present (and yes, it can happen over just one winter season). If everything else about the caliper assembly is ok, the fix is to install new pins, bushings, pin seals, and brake pads. Also, lub the pin parts with appropriate grease at assembly.

did you look at the harmonic balancer

Under the upper intake manifold on the drivers side

Hi,
The 1st>>2nd shift on the Subaru 4EAT automatic transmission can be more abrupt, but 3500 is too high.
Is there any delay when shifting from Park to Drive?
Does the Power light flash on startup? If it does, you can pull the codes by following these instructions.

This trans has 'bands' that can be adjusted. I'm not 100% sure they affect the 1st>2nd gear shift, but maybe they need adjusted.

Take a look @ ultimatesubaru.org/forum and http://bbs.legacycentral.org. 2 sites dedicated to Subarus.

Good luck,

Your car is OBD I. If you take your car to an autozone or similar auto parts store they will read your codes for free. You can buy a code reader if you wish but you will have to get the plug for a subaru also. They can be found on ebay. The code should be cleared once the engine check light is off.

Looks like you have a Coolant temperature sensor fault and throttle positioning sensor

Hi,
The check engine light coming on tells you something went wrong with a system that runs your engine. A parts store will preform a scan of your
computer to identify the problem area. So you need to access the codes involved in turning on the check engine to proceed with the necessary repairs.

to many things have been done=wasting money.test the spark by remouving the plug wire put a1/4" bolt in the end of the wire hold it with an insulated pliers near the engine metal and have someone turn the keyas though starting.if you have a good stoung cracking spark ok.irf not the computer may not be activaitng the coils.+cam crank sensor no good. the cam sensor has been a big problem.probably find further info at the library.or have it towed to a sop.there are a lot of more complicated issues involved with a no start that need to be tested before throwing more parts at it.

normally it is on the front side of the gearbox under the car its a blank plug

Sounds like a charging problem. When your battery runs low there is not enough current to operate the sensors properly. When you charged the battery it thought the system was fine till it gets low again. I would have your alternator checked and battery. Good luck and have a great day.

Hi:
The two lines that you are wondering about are oil cooler lines for your transmission. One is a pressure line from the transmission, the other is the return. Usually only a small amount of transmission fluid is lost during a radiator change, but all you need to do is to check for leaks on the line connections, and if they are good, then check your transmission fluid level after you are finished and top off if needed.

yes it can if that vehicle has an emobillser it can turn off the fuel pump newer cars use class 2 data older cars use fuel to disable for anti theft unless you are fimalliar with a lab spoce and have scan tool for that car theres not alot you can do for it you could try differnet key and if the car has remote start could be wiring problem right at the remote starter wires. usaully located at knee kick panel.they sometimes dont soder wires the twist and tape and the wires come loose over time. hope this helps Thunderboltz.

If the grinding sound happens only at start-up, then it is because your starter is not installed correctly. It grinds against the teeth on the fly wheel if not lined up perfect. It is not hard to line up....but it is under the car. After that, just a couple of bolts. Make sure the battery is disconnected so you don't get shocked.
If is grind when running, then it could still be the starter, but it could be stuck, and will not disengauge.
Good Luck!

have a block test performed to determine if there is a head sealing issue. very common on these cars.

Please be more specific about your problem.

When does it happen?
Is it loosing coolant?
Does the cooling fan come on or not?

RECOMENDATIONS: Sight unseen.

Do not operated and have it fixed.




Hope this tip helps.

Not true. If you have the fuse in place to disconnect the rear wheels it is safe to tow on a dolly. Subaru recommends not more than 40 MPH and only for short distance if it is an automatic. Manual may be towed longer distance. Have a great day.
