Re: Speedometer correction after 4.44 swap

I believe the cluster gets the signal first then sends it to the tcu. Not sure of solution but most subarus go to cluster first.

Re: Personal turmoil

Sean,
I hope it works out for you. I don't come here often as I lost the svx in my divorce last year. Through it all it was one thing we both liked. Hopefully love of svx can help.

Re: If not SVX then what...

I second this. I am a mechanic. I will take your money to fix the car but will also advise you to make smarter vehicle choices when you complain about the repair bill.

Re: ATF Pan leaks, 96-97 cars

I use the ground and a flat punch but maybe Colorado is more hill billy than you know. don't use Fuji bond if you ever want to take it off again without bending it up.

The maf is not correct. I know many people use them for short term or diagnosis purposes but until that is corrected it will be very hard to properly diagnose your O2 sensors.

Re: 1996 Polo going up for sale at the end of the summer

there is usually at least one in the junk yard near me. i could grab you a door catch. the car is hard to get parts for but definitely not impossible.
