I just can't imagine why you would want to even attempt this. You know that you do need to change the front differential ratio at the same time. You do know that it is all wheel drive, right?. As for changing the rest of the driveline, you will need to ask the supplier of the differential whether the old parts will work with the new differential. There is no inherent reason why you would need to do so.

Incorrect.^^^ The front diff. is built into the tranny. You can bolt the 4.44 trans and rear right in no problems. Ive done it. The reason he would do so is to get a lower gear ratio for more low end, great for racing, rallying, etc. kinda low for cruising the highway, but usable.-Tomcat

Just like every engine ever built, that depends entirely on how the engine is treated.

See this site for the cabin air filter: http://node28.wordpress.com/2009/07/13/replace-cabin-filter-07-outback/

(copy and paste into the browser window).

The engine air filter is a bit of a joy as access is tight. The filter is in a housing by the left front wheel. There is a "scoop" intake manifold leading from the very front of the engine bay to the filter box.

You need to undo the spring clips, pull back on the "upper" (back half) housing and extract the old filter. Make certain you put the new filter in right way 'round (refer to markings on filter or on how the old one was in there).

there is a sensor behind the brake pedal that is probably no good, im sure its a dealer only part, check a junk yard before you get soaked Also check to make sure your emergency brake is all the way off And check your brake fluid is filled up,

Subaru Outback "woodriff key" is good for the life of the vehicle.

I'm 99% positive that Subaru put the alternators in the same place on all their cars (engineconfiguration. I currently own three subarus: 94 legacy sedan, 96 legacy outback wagon and 09 impreza wrx sedan. All the alternators are in the same spot for all my cars. I'm pretty it's the same case for yours. I was able to remove and reinstall a new one on my 94 sedan in less than 20 minutes. I hope that this help. Here are the steps to removing and installing an alternator on a subaru.

1) Remove the negative battery cable using a 10mm socket or a 10mm wrench. Once the terminal is off tuck it to the side so it does not touch the negative terminal of the battery.

2) Remove the alternator pulley/fan belt cover. On the legacy sedans and outbacks the cover is metal and it covers the top of the fan belts. There are two 10mm bolts that hold this cover in place.

3) Look for a round plug (usually green on subarus) and unplug it from the alternator. Next pull the cap off of the red terminal on the alternator and use a 10mm socket to remove the nut. Once the nut is off pull the cable out from the terminal. The new alternator usually comes with this nut in place but I would still save it just to be safe.

4) Look for the two long bolts that hold the alternator to the brackets attached to the engine. One is to loosen the alternator from the belt (goes up and down). The other bolt holds the alternator in place at the other end. Both these bolts need to come off in order for the alternator to be pulled out.

5) Once the old one is out. Install the new one in reverse order.

See your user manual, its great for help with all the basic maintenance

Yes you can!

Low coolant if it is ? smoking you may have cooked your motor, or the thermatic fans are shorting out get it seen to by a mechanic ASAP

Shouldn't have to remove center nut - should be peel off rotors should just have to remove caliper and rotor should slide off center hub

Which model is it? 2.5i/limited/Premium, etc.?

By fuel light, I assume you are asking if there is a low fuel warning light. I believe that all years have a low fuel warning light, yes.

Your owner's manual has this information. If you don't have an owner's manual it is highly recommended that you obtain one. There is a wealth of information on driving and caring for your car. Older ones are available on eBay and Subaru offers free manuals for download in .pdf format for model years 2000 and up.

Sure would not idle smoothly with misfires on cylinders 1 and 3.

You likely have a high voltage ignition problem. I'd start with spark plugs and spark plug wires especially if you don't know when the wires and plugs were last replaced.

You may have a defective ignition coil but I'd go with the plugs and wires first. None of these is terribly expensive and you can buy everything after-market for just over $100. As car maintenance items go, these are relatively easy for the home mechanic to replace.

The alternator is overcharging due to the regulator malfunctioning. Replace the alternator.

Short of a vague wiring problem there are two(2) high probability causes: 1) the obvious, appropriate fuse, and 2) a cigarette lighter socket fusible safety device. The latter is on the rear of the socket (or built into it), designed to fail and break the current flow (i.e. heating) if the socket gets too hot, as may occur when the plug is held in, or sticks. It also may fail from extensive use, over time. The appropriate fix for the socket failure is to replace the socket, utilizing standard electrical safety practices, and making sure the new socket and "plug" are compatible.

Push. Hard.

Timing belt replacement is not a simple job like replacing a fan belt. It is certainly not a job that you can read about then go do if you have little experience working on a car. I recommend that you purchase a Subaru service manual, like the ones available on eBay for about $10. Take a look at the steps required and judge whether you have the skills and tools for the job.

Depends on which year/model motor you are trying to use and which year/model you are trying to put it into. Subaru's are built like Lego and most parts are interchangeable, problem is there are substantial wiring modifications required for some swaps.

Service manuals for the Legacy Outback on CD are available on eBay for less than $10. I checked the one for my 2007 and it includes the diagram that you seek.
