My transfer valve was bad and the clutches were okay. I did the replacement myself.

are these the "symptoms?"
Hey,
I not even sure if that what I need replaced but I think it is. What is happeing is that starting and stopping the car shakes a bit and going around sharp turns slowly makes it shake real bad. Is that what was happening to you too? Roger |

I am mechanically inclined as I am a Mechanical Engineer but you know what I learned from working on cars? Don't hurt yourself. It actually takes a lot of coordination to be a mechanic or you bust yourself up pretty fast. I use ruber gloves now as they help alot. I have worked on a few other cars, Chevy vans, Toyota Corrolla ford Pinto, I have done a few head gaskets and rebuilt a few carberators and sometimes can't spell for poop. I do like to work on the Subaru's as I think they were made to work on but I have not worked on enough cars to say if they are the easiest or okay or what is better. I look at working on a car as an adventure and a test of pyshical stamina and patientence. I like the rust proofing on the Subaru's as I think they will last a long time as long as the salt is kept out of them. Well I have learned from books and doing but I have learned a lot more by asking how to on this site. |

Not much of a hands on college, the subject never came up. I have learned that to talk with assembly people you have to know how parts feel when they go together. So I keep on doing things on my own. I have been designing rotating pumps for 25 years and a little hands-on goes a long way.
