Subaru started fitting the cam belt guides in MY98, on manual models only (at least, in European model Subaru's). They changed the design of the oil pump at the same time (for manual and auto models), adding the two bosses that the cam belt guide screws in to. So to fit a cam belt guide to an earlier engine, you'd need to fit the later oil pump. But to fit one to an MT88 or later engine from an auto when being sued in a manual application, you just screw the guide on to the existing pump. Be super careful if taking the crank position sensor out to check for the presence of a cam belt guide. The stainless steel sensors are very probe to corroding the surrounding aluminium, trapping them in the bore. When the screw is removed, the top of the sensor often moves a little bit, encouraging you that it's loose, so just needs prying a little. When the stainless sensor housing is trapped in the casting by corrosion, this movement is not the sensor moving in the casting, but the plastic senser internals moving in the stainless casing. Prying at it, even lightly, can break the top off an otherwise good sensor.

Replaced my timing belt today on a 2012 STI hatch and was wondering what the guides were for. It had them over the crank as well as over the right exhaust cam pulley and left intake cam pulley. I used a thin piece of cardboard to set the gap between belt and guides. Is there a special tool for adjusting the gap?

you have lockers and peloquin ? how is the normal road driving with the peloquin in the front ? I have standard rear locker, and was thinking to put a Peloquin inthe front. Any suggestions ?
@t_sodo8745
@t_sodo8745 5 ай бұрын
I never feel anything from the front Peloquin, no effect on the steering whatsoever. Absolutely "nothing" is felt. I have a front locker and know what steering is becomes when fully locked. I thought that maybe I wouldn't have to lock the rear as often with two Peloquins. But honestly I can't say it makes a $1500 difference. And locking the rear is substantial, as you likely know. It must be limiting the slip a little, but if you want my advice, I say look at your $1500 and think of something else. Peloquin is pretty "open". Absolutely "nothing" is felt.

Cooling and cleanliness will increase the capacity of the gearbox, but probably not by a lot. That TDi is going to beat hard on the gearbox. I’d use a DMF for sure. Driving style has a lot to do with it too. The only real solution is bigger gears, shafts, bearings which are not available. This helps some, but you still gotta “go easy”.😊😊

Hello! I have an problem with my Syncro gearbox... After I've refurbished it.. I have a strange noise (the sound of a regular car going in reverse) in 2-nd gear... Maybe you can help me.
@t_sodo8745
@t_sodo8745 11 ай бұрын
Hi Teodor, I asked a friend (SyncroShop in Oregon, USA). He said the gearbox must be disassembled immediately or you will destroy your mainshaft ($1000) or perhaps it is already destroyed. He said to count the gear teeth to ensure you have the proper gear-pair for 2nd gear. He said a "wrong" OEM 2nd gear idler is available and if you installed that one it could be the cause of the noise. And there are no "correct" replacement 2nd gear idlers available at the moment, so you will have to locate a used 2nd gear idler. Or wait. This is one of the reasons I say people should change their gear-oil often, perhaps even "too often". Because some items (such as 2nd gear) are No Longer Available (NLA). Thus Syncro owners should do everything possible to preserve the NLA parts of their gearbox, At rebuild-time you will be forced to re-use some of these old parts. Clean gear oil is only $30, it's the best insurance plan. And don't drive fast, far, heavy if you have a big engine.

Throw out bearing only. I don’t know if you can get the clutch off but it seems like the pressure plate could drop straight down. Maybe you can shove the gearbox to the side enough to poke the disk alignment tool in.
