The 1995 Subaru Legacy, built on the BD/BG/BK platform, represents the second generation of this esteemed mid-size sedan and wagon. Known for its robust engineering and the distinctive advantage of standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive on most models, the Legacy offered a compelling alternative to competitors like the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. Available in both 4-door sedan and 5-door wagon body styles, it was powered by either the 2.2-liter EJ22 Boxer-4 engine producing 135 horsepower or the 2.5-liter EJ25D Boxer-4 engine delivering 165 horsepower. This generation featured a more aerodynamic design than its predecessor and was primarily manufactured in Japan. This comprehensive Factory Service Manual (FSM) provides over 1000 pages of detailed information essential for the maintenance and repair of the 1995 Subaru Legacy. It covers all major systems, including engine diagnosis and overhaul for both EJ22 and EJ25D variants, transmission service for manual and automatic options, drivetrain, suspension, brakes, steering, and electrical systems. The manual also details maintenance procedures, troubleshooting guides for common issues such as potential head gasket problems on the EJ25D, and diagnostic steps for the 4EAT transmission. With extensive technical specifications, wiring diagrams, and special tool requirements, this English-language resource is an invaluable tool for owners and technicians alike. 🏷️ Basic Information Identification Make: Subaru Model: Legacy Year: 1995 Codes Platform Code: BD/BG/BK 👋 Introduction Market Position Segment: Mid-size sedan and wagon.
