I just bought a 95 Liberty wagon 4WD 5spd and it's great! Fuel economy is great. It has some body roll but I do drive as if I'm in a permanent rally, nothing some new shocks wouldn't fix. A bit slow on the take off extra power would be nice. The shifting of gears is the only real issue, very loose and often hard to get into gear, mechanic told me bushes in the box may need replacing to fix the problem... I think the dodgy gearbox is a Subaru thing tho, my mum has a Forester with similar issues... 2 thumbs up for my Liberty.

Just bought a 1995 Liberty GX wagon 4wd (yes I checked rear diff was there) auto, so much car for so little $, but thirsty on fuel and stalls occasionally.
Auto electrician computer said oxygen sensor and knock sensors from check engine light could what cause it to stall? But the biggest mystery is after a short trip, when warm, it occasionally won't start despite turning over, but after 15 minutes wait starts first crack - would this be a crank sensor, and if so does anyone know how much to repair?
Anyone know of good Subaru mechanic near Avalon Sydney?

From memory, somewhere on the 'net is a description of how you can use the VIN number to tell whether the 94 GX is AWD or FWD. Mine is AWD (which was nice on the squishier parts of a fire trail last weekend), but does not have anything indicating this stuck onto the outside of the car.

Boot badging? Just have a look under the back. If there's a diff there, then it's AWD. If not, then front wheel drive. You're right though, Subaru didn't go AWD across the entire range till 98.
