enthusiast Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I do notice better shifting. The "notchiness" you have, have you done the shifter bushings? I am up for the Cripple Creek drive. But, if there is any drinking I am staying the night up there. My mod list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

praedet Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 ^^^ Hmm, subtle differences, but nothing major... According to the manual, you measure the fluid level on the Trans when hot. I was glad to find this out as the cold level is just barely above the low dot, but the hot is full Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenc544 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I do notice better shifting. The "notchiness" you have, have you done the shifter bushings? I still haven't put in the kartboy bushings, maybe I will give that a go. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwiener2 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Mike, I think that was the one I plugged in, so I am truly sorry. What is the difference between pushing it on all the way and the actual "installed" feel? I have to do this soon too just make sure the plug clicks in and you can't wiggle it or pull it out by the cord.

praedet Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 Oh, I plugged in the cords on the driver's side. On the passenger I just did the coil-pack on the plugs. I thought you meant the coil-pack was not fully engaged on the plug on #1. Then this wasn't my fault Have you found a new coil-pack yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

praedet Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 Of note on the Subaru Trans oil... It is not an "Oh my god, what a difference" change, but I just notice that it is smoother, period. I notice this after the fact, when I realize there was no harshness, or not as much notchiness, on the drive in to work. I think it is more than a placebo effect...

chenc544 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I was surprised that replacing transmission fluid was not on the list. Apparently the official schedule doesn't think the transmission or diff fluid ever need to be changed, just inspected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwiener2 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 whats it say for 60k miles? My Mods List (Updated 8/22/17) 2005 Outback FMT Running on Electrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenc544 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 whats it say for 60k miles? Replace oil, oil filter, spark plugs, fuel filter, air filter, coolant and brake fluid. Inspect everything else. Pretty much the same as 30k except for the spark plugs. Interestingly the fuel filter replacement is recommend for 30k, 60k, 90k but it's not required until 120k.
