I have a 1997 Legacy L Subaru SW with 125,000. Car runs smoothly with
get-up-and-go EVEN with the AC engaged. Sharp turns create a

transmission "experts" that the transmission needs replacing. The

Today when I went to shut the front sunroof it make a crunching sound.
Now it won't open. You can hear the motor then
the rear works fine.  It won't even push up by hand.  Any suggestions.
Thanks

Wanted to get ideas from they guys who answered my last thread.
I suppose you're wondering why I called you all here.
Considering the car has 335,000 miles, I think I'd like to take the
easiest way out. What's the easiest way to remove the heads without

My 96 Legacy Outback has fog lights.  They are quite pitted from road
stuff flying at them.  Does anyone know if glass can be fixed to make
it smooth again, similar to the Lens renew product for plastic lens?
Barring that, does anyone know where to get new lights?  Please let me

Started it last fall and had white smoke all over the place. After using
the Genie in the bottle I took it out for a ride, and it took a LONG time

If I were to disconnect the fuse that then leaves my Subaru with FWD
what negative effects would there be.  (After 12 years) I am thinking
about this as a way to improve mileage (2 wheel engine braking vs 4

How do I change a low-beam headlight on a 2004 Legacy Outback Sedan

A month ago I had noever heard of the kinock sensor.  Now I know that
it is a valuable tool that everyone should be aware of.

My '97 Legacy Brighton wagon has completely rusted throughg the body
directly over both rear wheel wells.  A few inches across but
spreading. This is a 12 year old car in an area that uses salt
profusely, but I'm just curious if my car is an exception or if this

My '92 Legacy needs new brake discs. My question is about the use of
spray brake cleaners. The area around the disc is a bit dirty. I've never

Not bad, but nothing special either.  I must say I am a bit
disapointed.  There is a new 2.5L engine, but making only

Firstly, I have to say I do love my car... a '97 Outback wagon.  Some
repairs have been on the costly side but that's another story.
My rear wiper motor quit years ago (around 2001).  It's not been a
