This came in from two other shops. The best we can make out is once upon a time the car ran perfect, all of a sudden it made a loud bang and the car didn't move anymore. Shop#1 rebuilt the transmission, looks spray-painted and possibly customer was ripped, bol...

Hi all, Is AllData correct that eng./trans. R&R is required to change water pump on this RX350 ? I did find archived Fix posts related to a High Lander & an ES350 that said it wasn't required. I don't want to assume that applies to the RX350 & be wrong!! Th...

1999 Subaru Forester S 2.5L Engine interchange VIN: JF1SF6556X
Planning to replace the engine on this car due to loss of compression in a cylinder and a mystery knock which I believe to be a piston. Used engines are quite rare evidently because this is a one-year only engine. At least this is what I'm told. Others say it ...

We received a used TCM to try and we now have fourth gear. We tested for duty cycle and there was no change in the percentage going to the transmission (58-78%) even though the scan tool said 100% but the darn thing shifts into 4th gear. I guess the moral to...
