Jeriah Moon Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Not sure if I'm in the right place for the 05 outback XT I used to use bbs.legacycentral for my 91 turbo legacy.. someone recommended legacygt for my 05:confused: bought for $4k with smashed front and rear bumper with 180k super clean and dealer maintained with factory replacement parts... even has a subaru battery So i think i have a new turbo, i know a have a recent timing belt.(only 20k on it) Drives straight and tight down the road. good wear on the tires. I'm concerned about the tranny. should i do the valve body mod? will that ext life or speed it up at this point? Also rear 02 is triggering dash light and cruise doesn't work :/ i'll search forums for those latter... unless someone can point me in the right direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeriah Moon Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 Did the no seat belt beeping fix(plug/unplug 20 times) that was so cool! Its freaking cold here and i was trying to talk on the phone while i filled up with gas and that dam beeping was annoying!! Intercooler looks tight no leaks. gonna replace oil and takeout the banjo filter thing if i have time today. Also i want to make a journal thread of my car and keep the first post updated with things I've done to the car... which sub forum should a use for that?

Max Capacity Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Good Luck with the banjo filter. You must have a warm place to work on her ? Oh, the valve body upgrade will only help the tranny, not the other way around. I'd wait for the banjo filter till you do a catless up pipe. It will be easier then. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

rob-2 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 180k? Just start saving for a new lightly used auto tranny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeriah Moon Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 I probably need to start a 5eat thread. thats my biggest concern with it having 180k. I dont want to do the up or down pipe or even a tune tell i know this car is rock solid. I've seen nothing to indicate this car has ever been abused. but I don't wanna add a catless up/down pipe and tune then blow the tranny and then have this beauty rot in my driveway. I'm not going to be launching it, but i do have a very heavy foot. I'd be happy if the trans lasts another 50k. so i guess i'll add valve mod and trans cooler to my to do list. Once i actually get some real work done on it, i'll add a link to my first post to the build thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeriah Moon Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 either way, if it goes out in a few months or a year or two. if i add these mods to the new one... I will already know what i'm doing and hopefully not screwup the new trans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob-2 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 It's 180k and unless all freeway a few shifts have been made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeriah Moon Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 Thanks to some simple words from Rao and some timely motivation from Apex-GT, and of course the Factory Service Manual, I feel confident now that I can tear down and rebuild my 5eat, which suffers from a worn clutch packs= and perhaps some other issues that I believe are limited to wear parts. I may screw it up altogether, but you never get to find out if you don't try. I have some other very exciting 5eat stuff in the pipeline, but one thing at a time is enough So it's time to pick a kit. I will contact FBP to see what they would sell a 2005 LGT 5eat rebuild kit for. There are other ones online. Please weigh in if you know anything about this kind of thing. Parts needed: Snap-ring plyers Transmission spring compressor used to get the snap ring out of there (example http://store.boxwrench.net/KD-Tool-2398-Automatic-Transmission-Universal-Clutch-Spring-Compressor-Transmission-Rebuilding-DVD_p_84.html) OR some people just borrow or buy a cheaper one, or use a couple C-clamps if you are very careful. Angle feeler gauges A perfectly flat bar of some sort (to measure tolerances off the transmission front end) Caliper or depth gauge to measure distances to .0001" E-Star wrench to separate front diff case from main AT case A home-made wrench to twist off the front diff bearing seals Lead pen for checking front diff ring/pinion fitment. Vaseline E20 torx socket - $10 shipped, eBay Various male torx sockets (I don't remember what size(s) you will need once in the trans, but there is one needed for removing a bolt that holds on the front pinion.

I'll just make the subbie stage 2 and worry about the 5eat when ever it goes, then rebuild. hmm... gets me thinking... I wonder if i can put my ej22t closed deck shortblock in with out going insane... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Don't try and get crazy, when it comes time, either a ej257 $1645.00, or rebuild your with forged pistons if your looking for 350+whp. Keep it simple. IMO you'll want the HexMod kit sooner then later. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

Jeriah Moon Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 250whp would be cool. 300whp would be awesome! If I decide I want more, it wont be with this car. I want to keep the 255, and stock ride height(I will be using every inch of it ). I think I found someone for the EJ22t shortblock anyways. I like the hexmod thing, but I might go the diy route and install a TransGo kit. It sounds just as good, Plus I get to get my hands dirty Hopefully when the trans bombs the vavle body wont be ruined. I'm hoping i can feel it dying and rebuild before theirs shards of metal and clutchs packs ruining everything in sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
