  1. Get a pulley wrench from Company 23 or a 1/2" impact gun will do it. Jamming a screwdriver in the flexplate would be my last resort.

    It's worked for generations of cars with automatics. :spin:

     

    I'm sure someone makes a fancy tool that only makes the job more difficult and your wallet lighter.

     

    Most of these fancy tools also only work with the stock pulley and damage aftermarket ones.

  2. Welp, one more thing I can say "JDM YO!" about:Ebay: JDM Legacy Transmission Cooler

     

    The automatic '14+ VX and impreza also have these, and the hose routing on those is a bit simpler. I'm hoping this JDM one will bolt up to the USDM transmission.

     

    Can anyone tell me where to get coolant to make this thing work? I cant find a good diagram of where this even was mounted on the JDM car.

     

    Edit: it mounts on the front driver side of the tranny.

    So I guess I'd bypass the line going TO the oil filter/air cooler into this contraption. No idea how to get coolant to it still. Heater hoses are in this area, and there is also the throttle body heating stuff that could be tapped.

     

     

    The only place I've seen those used is on 5th gen cars. I've seen that exact listing, I think it's a mistake and was taken from a 5th gen.

  3. I figured... too bad a junk 5EAT is impossible to come by in these parts! I've called a few Subaru specific yards, but nobody has junk cores with sensors still in them! If it's not one thing it's another with this damn wagon. Looks like it's a $400 harness or bust. :spin:

     

    I would have to look at the spare 5eat I have, but I'm fairly certain that harness is part of the trans like the 4eat. It has all of the VB plugs on it/etc as well. It doesn't come off without disassembly. I would bet it's just a dumb junkyard tech.

     

     

     

    Make a CL/facebook. It seems someone is always parting out a 5eat lgt. I use to know where 3 different cars were sitting being parted out in WI. :lol:

  4. Does anyone know of a way I can get a turbine speed sensor without buying a $350 harness?

     

    The shop cracked them on both transmissions...

    A junk transmission. I ran into similar issues when rebuilding a 4eat harness that was eaten. Harness was ~$350 too.

  5. Does the center diff and trans share the same fluid? I'm asking because my planet gears teeth are destroyed and so metal particals are probably everywhere. So I don't know the extent of repair and surgery I have to do besides rebuilding or buying a whole new center diff.

     

    Yes.

  6. Good for you. Bushings are also cheap and plentiful. Congrats on abusing your car. Super interesting.

     

     

    I have the brass bushings, and VB mod, etc...

     

    Someone wanted to know how the car holds up with boost launching with CD bushings, I answered.

  7. It'll happen eventually.

     

    5eats are cheap and plentiful. I have 1 spare right now, I may pick up another:lol:

     

     

    Yeah, i never quite understood that table so i jus set my boost to 14psi at <3000 rpm. I launch at around 12psi @ 3000 in my video. Considering that it is a 2.0 liter it's a lot less torque than my brethren below.

     

     

     

    15 psi @3K in a 2.5 liter is a lot of torque dude. haha. What RPM did u launch at?

     

    Whenever the light turned green :rolleyes:
