  1. Here is mine, not the greatest. I may have to make a new one. 2007 Legacy 2.5i SPT catback http://svt4u2try.com/images/Legacy/DSCF5538.AVI
  2. I am pretty sure I know what is part of a Subaru's all wheel drive. Sometimes literature that is being published for the public that describes things tend to use basic terms so that the average person "gets it". They do not go that far in depth using the correct technical terminology. The "transfer case" also called the extension case and is what is in the back of the transmission. Infact the Service manual doesn't call it a transfer case. Inside that transfer case(we will call it that for your sake of argument) is where the transfer duty solenoid, transfer clutches and transfer driven bearings are. The transfer clutches are responsible for controlling the correct ratio with the help of the duty solenoid, the valve and fluid. The AWD transfer system( we will use the 4EAT as an example) uses a hydraulic multi plate clutch system(IIRC there are 5 of them) that is controlled by the TCM through a control valve. Hope this clears things up for you Now do we still want to debate what is inside the transmission or keep this on topic so it helps other enthusiasts so they correctly address replacing tires and how it relates to the AWD
  3. I am pretty sure I meant transfer clutches;). Subaru's are not 4x4's and do not have a transfer case. They do have transfer clutch's/center differential that are in the transmission that control the transfer of power to the f/r wheels.
  4. I had a loud vibration yesterday in relation to rpms and sounded like it was coming from the passenger front floorboard. I got home and popped the hood and saw all the ice wedged around the exhaust and cat.
  5. That is correct. I did the same on my way to work Saturday and got stuck as i arrived at work(nothing was plowed), but had just an ABS and ERR SS in the cluster. I just went inside and cleared everything with the SSM we had. I had a customer come in today for the same thing. We have seen some vibrations and busted wipers today because people fail to realize that stuff builds up under the front end and they think they can use frozen wipers to clear off all the snow:lol:
  6. What kind of Alternator? Also do the belts look ok?
  7. hi

    thought u might have an idea : battery light and hand brake comes on once in while at the same time , i replaced the alternator and the battery: not fixed, any suggestion ? thx a lot for your implication in the community

  8. Here is a link for Subaru's maintenance guide. https://www.subaru.com/my-subaru/maintenance-schedule2009.html On the right hand side of the page are links for other years that pertain to your vehicles.
  9. What is boot like? Will I get ripped apart verbal,if so sweet!
  10. Bump being I see some new threads about this, but it is not stickied here(in the 2.5i FAQ)
  11. I would imagine that if they make one for a LGT, then the Magnaflow should fit diameter wise and connect fine.
  12. Sure thing. IIRC, only the 2.5i with the 4EAT has the fuse where you can do that. If you get a flat in the front, Subaru recommends putting the spare on the back wheel and use the back wheel for the front until you can get it fixed. The 3.0 and turbo does not. All manuals do not either. I will double check, but could be wrong. I hate fix a flat. When I was a tire changer, we used to get that crap all over us and it was a pita to clean/remove.
  13. I would imagine they do. Every dealership I have worked at does. I know we also can do alignments on lowered vehicles(to an extent, but factory specs only). I also have 2 other shops that can do customer alignments on lower cars that I send some customers to.
