  1. Hey guys. Yesterday I was replacing a leaky exhaust gasket. I secured the front wheels and lifted the rear of the vehicle and the rear wheels were off the ground. After replacing the gasket, I lowered the vehicle down a little bit but the wheels were still not touching the ground. I started the engine because I wanted to hear the difference and check for other leaks. When I walked out, I noticed the left rear wheel was spinning. I did a double take and verified my transmission was in park. I turned off the vehicle, lowered it to the ground and turned it back on. I believe the reason the rear wheel were spinning while the engine was on was because the parking paw only works on the front wheels and maybe the cold fluid in the trans made the rear wheels turn in park. Now today, I took it out for a short drive and immediately noticed the AT OIL TEMP light blinking 4 times per second. I don't think the transmission is overheating because I hardly drove it. This has to be some sort of other error message. I checked the trans. temp using RomRaider and it was around 134F-138F. I checked for error codes and found none. I then tried to clear error memory and unplugged the battery for one hour and AT OIL TEMP light did not go away. I looked up somewhere and found that AT OIL TEMP blinking 4 times per second, then the problem is most likely a power supply or ground problem. Not sure if this is correct. Do you guys have any suggestions about what this could be? Did I unintentionally break something? I think I am safe driving it to the dealership as long as it is not overheating, shifting perfectly fine and smooth, and the front & rear speed sensors work. I think the TCU maybe is confused and there is some permanent error code.
  2. Yup, I agree the prep work and a clean surface is the most important step. Oh sweet. Can't wait to see it. Thank you. Sure no problem. I can make a cleaner version of the template and pass it on. Or maybe I can figure out a way you can just print it and tape several pieces of paper together at like dashed lines. I have the OEM H/K Bluetooth kit that is already built-in so I don't need the Bluetooth kit that goes into the cubby. Thanks always though.
  3. The brake light would be nice but I can live without it. Using 3M body adhesive is a good idea as it doesn't involve drilling holes. I am just worried it might not hold strong but if you say it held strong for you then I think it is worth it to try out.
  4. Thank you very much for the PDF. Where did you find this info? I have the FSM and many other PDFs manuals but I don't think I have it all. I actually went to the junkyard and saw the trunk was in pretty bad shape. Lots of scratches, dents on top, rust holes on the bottom of it (typical), and rust near license plate holes. Also I realized it is a different silver color. Mine is Steel Silver Metallic and this one was Ice Silver Metallic. And sadly no backup camera. The picture the junkyard posted was low quality and I thought I saw something sticking out that looked like the camera. I ended up just taking the OEM spoiler and made a template where the hole line up on the trunk. Test fit on my car. I actually really like the look of the OEM spoiler. I also took the OEM radio with the 4.3" screen. I am going to make a harness and get it working with my car. I could just upgrade to something aftermarket but I sort of wanted to stick with the OEM look. Plus I got this one for a very good price. I took the radio, harness, connectors, USB port, and SXM antenna. I would love to get the 2013 Navigation head unit some day and upgrade to that.
  5. Oh sure. Thank you very much for checking that quickly. Yes I am interested in it if you are willing to sell it. I can PM you details.
  6. Just took a look at the FSM and found a connector R24/R60. Not sure where it would be located but my guess is somewhere under the partial shelf panel.
  7. I recently spotted a 5th gen at my local junkyard. Same color as mine with the OEM spoiler and a reverse camera. I want to take the entire trunk but not sure how to disconnect the wiring harness and I don't want to cut it. Fellow Legacy owners, have you ever removed your trunks? lol How would you disconnect the wiring harness to the trunk. Is there like a body to trunk connector somewhere?
  8. Oh no problem at all. You enlightened me about even using SSM with Tactrix. I didn't even know it was possible. Thank you for that. Yeah I saw a couple websites sell that VXDiag tool. I might buy one soon and check it out.
  9. I tried using a Tactrix cable and unfortunately it won't work with SSM3 (which is the version of SSM for the 5th gens). It does however seem to work with SSM4.
  10. Oh yeah. I forgot about the warranty. That's also something to keep in mind while selecting suspension. To be honest I love my Koni setup. It's a good mix for daily driving and sportiness. Took it autocrossing and they were great.
  11. Not sure what the typical lifespan of Konis are but I am at 80k with mine installed. They have been very noisy for the past 20k. I checked that bottom bolt and it's torqued down. I have them paired with RCE blacks.
  12. Very good resource. Thank you very much for the help.
  13. Also make sure to get the torque specs RIGHT. Calipers are aluminum and you need to be careful with torque. Also like Scubaboo said, use the bolts that came with the PS calipers bolts as they have different threads. I torqued mine down to 60 ft-lbs with Copper Anti-Seize grease.
