I posted last week I bought the car for $640, with 1433xx, then right after that heard a loud noise. Thought it was HLAs. Removed two drive belts and saw the bottom of tensioner pulley poking out from plastic timing belt guard, as well as part of timing belt. Oh well, thanks to this forum and subarupartsforyou.com she should be back up this week. The subaru will rise again.....I'll keep racking up the miles.....looking for 300k

Hello my "new to me" 97 Legacy w 2.2 has 143, 300 miles (80 by me). I drive 70 miles each day round trip and my other love, 2002 7.3 diesel was hitting the gas station too much. I saw that my neighbour bought a new car and the legacy was no longer sitting in driveway but moved to the street. I was told the legacy had a bad transmission. The owner was the original owner and was sad to see her go but didn't want to put any further money into her. SO: I purchased the legacy for $640...THAT'S RIGHT..!!! Spent all night doing research on this form and YouTube.... Discovered the problem was "torque binding" Changed both diff fluids and tranny fluid..... Got dizzy doing the 20 circles in each direction! Now the legacy is my daily driver!!! Runs well and shifts well. THANKS FORUM.!!! -Next will change timing belt and maybe later headgaskets as a preventative measures.
