<![CDATA[Any old school Subaru gurus around?]]>I have been debating on getting my old subie back. My brother has it now and can't get the auto tranny to shift into a higher gear than first, reverse does work. He would like to give it back to me or get rid of it, I'm not sure it's worth the hassle though. This is on a 88 loyale sedan with a boxer 1.8 turbo awd. We have changed the tranny computer with no luck. Well the car is getting old, little bit of rust, faded paint,and crappy interior but the engine runs good. I'm starting to wonder if this would be a doog project track car. I'm looking for some input from anyone on ideas, when I had the car it was fun, has air ride with a button to lower and raise, came stock on it! I have looked on ebay for others like it and there seems to be quite a few still running. I put this in the chit chat so anyone can bs about it and whatnot. Let me know what you guys think. :icon_santa: :icon_rendeer: :icon_rendeer: :icon_rendeer: :icon_rendeer: :icon_rendeer: :icon_rendeer: :icon_rendeer: :icon_rendeer:

Haven't been able to find wiring diagrams at the library, only place I have looked.

Make sure none are broken and that you get the right voltages on each of the wires.....also double check at the shifter that the switch there is not damaged and recheck all the electrical plugs to make sure they are solid.

It's not the prettiest car.........they had the greatest idea in the world back then, "let's put the spare on top of the engine" lol
