Kiyo1990 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Hey everyone, I am new here. My name is Chris, I am 22 years old and live in Illinois. I just got a 1997 Subaru Legacy GT. It has a 2.5 L automatic transmission. I will be loading pics tomorrow as I do not have my camera (better resolution than my phone haha). It needed a hood, windshield, and brakes when I bought it. I fixed all that, and now I just need to figure out a slight hard shift in first gear. -well i took this to a transmission place and they replaced the c-solenoid. It drives better, and well still going ot do a rear differential flush. Anyone got any thoughts? So lets get to the good stuff here she is http://i410.photobucket.com/albums/pp185/toyotaman15/Mobile%20Uploads/100MEDIAIMAG0312.jpg I decided it should be easy for those who want to look at this thread to see what I have done.... so Updated mod list: Exterior: Blacked out oem grille JDM fog lights 6000k HID's Sickspeed horns STI tire valves "Hellafunctional" Decal Interior: LED dome LED maps LED doors LED glove box LED trunk LED dash LED shifter indicator STI floor mats Pioneer headunit Performance: Stock engine DNA headers new front cat new rear cat new o2's (rear is pending) 2.25" custom catback (resonator and cherry bomb) GRIMMSPEED master cylinder brace Raceland ultimo GD coilovers TruHart 6 peace rear links kit Whiteline sway bar rear 20mm Whiteline front and rear 20mm bushing Whiteline sway bar links (4) Whiteline STI mounts for rear sway bar Technafit SS lines 2006-2007 v-limited STI lip Flapatax mudflaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiyo1990 Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 thats just the lovely chicago land rain lol. Im looking into HIDs, and led domes for now. Any other suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrei Wolf Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Looks good! Personally I'm not a fan of HID lighting I like to keep things simple. http://store.candlepower.com/h4hb29003bulbs.html For the dome lighting check out http://www.diodedynamics.com/store/index.php/ they probably have a kit for that car.

sdavidson7014 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 nice ride man, the hard shift could be your mounts, thats where id look first. I agree about staying away from HIDs, especially in stock housings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiyo1990 Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 Went to Subaru for what I saw as a hard shift, and delay shift (P/R to D/P). Found out my transmission in general is going out. So $400 later I took car home. Now time to bust ass and get money and search for a place to rebuild and swap my transmission. I could do it, just dont wanna do it myself.

The delay going into gear is a seal in the back of the trans, pretty common actually. I'm a tech at a Subaru Dealership. Either it will have to come out and come apart anyways.

Kiyo1990 Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 Ah, lol wish I could have found you earlier. Well to help with the diagnosis it came to, the front end has a feel like its sluggish when turning unless I am on gas. They said it was the piston for from end seizing in the bore. That part of trans needs to be rebuilt Then something about the rear diff starting to lock up and such. He said in short, " It is going to pretty much lock up on you sooner or later." So far as I can tell new trans is needed right? And I appreciate your input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
