ALRIGHTY then... I guess miss matched tire wear IS that big of a deal. I will be getting them replaced tomorrow.

Hey Josh, Everything was assembled correctly near as I can tell. I don't have any left over pieces anyway. I am sure there are backlash checks on every single part imaginable. I just took it for granted that the new bearings were to the same tolerance as the old ones. I only messed with the input sh...

This is part of another thread I had going but since its a new subject I am going to post it under a new topic. Does that make sense? Anyway.. The original post complete with pretty pictures can be found here: http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=51407 The short of it is the transmis...

Alright... I got everything put back together last week.. Here are some pics of the highlights. Replaced: Both input shaft bearings Input shaft seal Both front half shaft seals Output shaft seal Various other seals and gaskets Pilot bearing Throw out bearing Checked gears for wear Checked all other ...

Alright... parts came.. all pressed together. (Pics soon) Happen to know the torque for the end nut? I have seen 40ftlb, 86.4ftlb, and "Its torqued to like 250ftlb" That last one I doubt is anywhere close but it was posted on a forum. I torqued it to 40ftlb, but I am having trouble holding...

I am going to guess that it was some problem with the hardening process of that inner race. Going by how far gone the inner race was and the outer race is mostly intact. The ball bearings are certainly chewed up as well though.. its hard to tell what started to fail first. Hopefully I will get it ba...

Never a shortage of pictures here. The rear input shaft bearing and the seal/gasket kit were not in stock. They said everything should be shipped by Friday. I have been trying to see if I could find anything that would have made the bearing fail. I haven't found anything thus far. I do see the clutc...

Well.. Just went with the ball bearing. It held up for over 100k miles thus far. If the new one holds up for another 100 we'll be doing good. Heres what I ordered. BALL BEARING [Part#: 806225170] NEEDLE BRG 27X46X21 [Part#: 806427060] GSKT SEAL KIT MT [Part#: 32001AA060] RADIAL BALL BEARING CLU [Par...

Josh you have been a great help. This is the ball bearing set. I wonder if the needle/roller bearing is the same dimensions as I would love to use it over the ball bearing if I could. Is the Ej255 a later revision or stronger transmission that you know of? Obviously there is a weakness in this ball ...

Good grief.. I have been on subarugenuineparts.com and I couldn't find a thing. I have been trying to browse parts by category but clicking on "manual transaxle" just brings up 2 listings for transaxle assemblies, not a listing of parts like I would expect. When I put in the part number yo...

Thanks for the quick reply. The smaller front bearing has a size lasered onto it. Which I can find.. but there are a couple difficulties. It has no inner race.. it uses the shaft as the inner race.. but thats ok.. I can still find one that size. However, it also has a hole drilled through the outer ...

Alright... Transmission is out and torn down. Rear input shaft bearing is toast. A good 16th" of play in it. Unfortunately getting to the bearing is proving to be the easy part. I cant find a replacement for it anywhere. I would like to replace both input shaft bearings plus all the seals. Inpu...

Yeah I dunno where that chunk came from.. but I bet it has gone through the input shaft bearing. When I have some time I'll pull the trans apart and see what I can see. Hopefully I can just replace some parts and button it back up. Until then.. I am gonna drive it. Though judging by the state of tha...

Never had anything but the syncros go bad in my Hondas. Twice in the 99 Civic.. but it was running 21psi of boost on a regular basis. Then a rod bearing over heated and spun which caused low pressure on all the bearings and they all got hot. rods were bent.. oh man bad. Got new i bean rods, pistons,...

Maybe I was looking at the auto tranny. ATF and then Front and Rear diff oil in the autos? Anyway.. 75w90 GL5, 4 qt. I have also seen 80w90 GL5 specified. Any benefit? Maybe less noise? Where I live it rarely gets below 20F so cold gear changes shouldn't be a problem. In Honda world a little change ...

Work doesnt scare me a bit. I've pulled several engines and transmissions in my day. Rebuilt engines... But have never cracked open a transmission.. could be fun! lol So on this car. Am I wrong saying transmission, transfer case, and front diff use a common gear oil supply? The rear is separate of c...

How loud is so subjective lol... Its certainly noticeable to me..clutch in, engine idle is quiet (i mean other than the normal sewing machine 4cyl engine noise).. let the clutch out in neutral the transmission can be heard spinning... Raspy sounding contant noise(like a worn bearing obviously) goes ...

Thanks for the replies. I haven't pulled anything apart yet. Just picked up the car 2 days ago. Talked a lot of the price off the car because of the noise.. enough to cover a used transmission if need be. Clutch could have already been replaced..170k miles.. throwout and pilot bearing would be repla...

Just purchased a 2003 Subaru Legacy Special Edition Wagon, 5 speed manual. 170k miles.. Growls in neutral and in gear. Clutch in - silent. I got a deal on the car so I cant complain. Needed new plugs.. the old ones were worn to like 0.071". Gonna change the timing-belt and water pump for good m...
