  1. Hello all. Long story short, I'm trying to figure out if I have my original transmission installed after a shop did a reverse gear replacement. 2010 Legacy GT, US version. Problem is, what's installed right now is painted gray and the original wasn't, and I don't know if it's common practice for the shop to put a layer of paint whenever they take apart and rebuild a transmission, or if instead of actually ordering and installing the parts they listed, they just found it easier to put another transmission in from some other source. They had the car for a couple months waiting on parts. From what I understand is that there *should* be a VIN number on the driver's side of the transmission somewhere. I don't know if this is supposed to be etched or stamped in, or on some plate they it's on that may very well have been removed or painted over. Does anyone have a pic or a moment to have a peek at their untampered 6MT? I know "call the shop and ask them." Not really an option right now. They are so far pretty resistant to backing up their work, and on top of that, refuse to actually go on a test drive with me in the car, as they claim there's no clutch slipping, when it clearly is in 3rd-6th gear from around 3000 rpm. So, I'm not interested in more of their BS. Ultimately, I intend to just take them to court for a refund since they refuse to warranty their work. Thanks in advance.
  2. Anyone ever change (not update or anything, just replace oem with oem) their hood struts? I can't figure out how to remove the rod and from the mount to put the mounts on the new strut. Everything I find says something about either a retaining clip or pin, but there's no such thing on these. I've tried prying and looking for some kind of index on the ball bit to no avail.
  3. Did you get around to this yet? You posted a while ago so I'm assuming you did, but fi you haven't and still have Q's, hit me up. I installed my Pioneer 4200nex a few years ago, plus Amp and Sub with no prior experience with great success. Super clean install that included a back-up cam with a constant power relay (really overkill), the steering control switches, parking brake chip, and tapping into the factory aux jack. Last week I upgraded to the Pioneer 8500nex because it upgraded a few things about the unit, as well as added built-in Nav. Removed the whole dash to route the GPS antenna to keep things clean.
  4. I second starter. I did mine about 2 years in and it didn't make any more noise until about last year. Simple job and easy to put back together. As you're looking down from the front, It's on the back left (passenger's) side. 2 Bolts holt it in. Two bolts hold the body together. Something like 3 or 4 satellite gears in there. I just used normal high temp lithium grease if I remember right. Pretty hard to mess up if you're at all a do-it-yourself type.
  5. Nope. Look at how many mounts are magnet based anymore. They haven't messed up any of my phones, nor those of my buddy's. The belief that magnets ruin electronics comes from the way data used to be stored and written on things like magnetic strips, floppy discs, and in the case of storage, hard drives. Solid state memory, such as micro sd cards are pretty much unaffected. Consider that there are magnets in tablet and phone flip cases that tell the devices when the cover has been opened, or laptops that have magnets along the edges in lieu of latches.
  6. Yeah....about that...We're going to have to go ahead and revoke your man card now...
  7. Just don't do this when it's cold outside. Fevrer doesn't flex week and you'll end up with a cut in it off of one of the molding corners about 1/3 if the way up from the bottom. I think it was only high 40's F when it happened to mine.
  8. Right on both counts. Thanks buddy. Any chance you know what the 3rd option inthe headlight/trip meter button trick is? 1st is mpg adjust, 2nd is outside temp, 3rd...?
  9. Uh, so when you have the key in ACC (not ignition) and you tap through the trip meter button, you'll get A, B, and then 1 and 2, which are by default on. You can turn it off by holding the trip button, but I didn't notice anything different. Anyone know what these values are?
  10. lol, no... you don't even have to turn the engine on. What it means is to do the steps quickly.
  11. Ok, so, pretty neat, I'll get some reall numbers on my next few gas stops to adjust. So, the first value "1" that you can change from -10 to +10, is MPG, the second value "2", adjust the outside temp +/- 3 degrees... Haven't been able to figure out what that third value is. Anyone have any ideas? What is it turning on/off?
