What would they adjust to make your clutch stop slipping? The only adjustment to make is pedal play to the clutch master cylinder pushrod, which only affects pedal free-play unless it was waaaaaay...

This. I do believe the radiator (and heater core for that matter) are aluminum and plastic. I know when I put the Subaru "coolant conditioner" in, my first thought was "wow, this looks exactly like...

There was one of those living up the road from me. I could always tell he was coming, because I'd see the treetops all lit up. Light scatter EVERYWHERE.

Something about reducing intake noise. Yeah, I don't really get it either, I like my engine to sound like an engine, with everything that goes with it.

After clearing them... did all of those come back? Or just some? Manual or auto trans? Does the speedometer actually work?

I don't like Bosch anymore, especially for O2 sensors on Japanese stuff. Toyotas and Subarus in particular seem to dislike them... hence sticking with Denso or NTK.

Rear O2 shouldn't do anything...

You can disconnect the battery or pull the ECU fuse to "clear" the codes. It's possible it'll come right back, or it might not. Sometimes you just get a "flyer" outside of the parameters that'll set...

Might have blown speakers. Mine might have had 3 working when I bought it last year, but I had been down to 1 for a while until I replaced them this weekend. Stock speakers are horrible anyway, even...

If you have alloys, you should be able to see how far the outer pads are into the brackets. New pads will usually have the ears flush with the outer edge. If your pads are low, definitely don't add...

No code exists that says 'clogged cat causing high air/fuel mix'.

A melted/clogged cat will generally make the car run like crap... low power, missing all over the place, etc. If it's a P0420,...

Is the ECU under the passenger side floor, like my 04 WRX? If so, then I would guess it probably is shot. Amazing it would run at all.

I'm with ^^. ECUs rarely fail, and when they do, you rarely get 'a' code. There's not a code for "ECU failed". Usually you'll either get a ton of codes (because the ECU isn't sending the right...

Flashing CEL usually means a misfire, which jives with "stuttering" pretty OK.

CEL being on really has jack to do with needing an engine. The CEL is monitoring emissions. There are parameters...

Anyone telling you to just leave any auto trans alone probably has an interest in selling you a transmission, or a car. :p

It's not really RPM but load that determines if you can pop it out of gear. If you're loaded down or engine braking, the shifter should resist being pulled toward neutral, and more load = more...

No, it's not. It's an OEM style replacement. No sense in the OP buying it, unless the factory cat is clogged.

I've used them for ages. Never had motor problems because of it, though I'm not going to say they can't cause them. FWIW, I've noticed a *slight* mileage improvement with them. Maybe 1mpg, not more...

I've never had a front O2 sensor throw a P0420 (catalytic converter inefficiency). I've also never owned a '95-99 Subaru either, so YMMV there. While it could be the cat, in my experience it's more...

They also have "CCABIN" that gives you $40 of $100, and something less (might also be $20 off $50) and "VISA" that's worth $50 off $150. Both have apparently been active a long time, and don't have a...
