Re: stuck in AWD?

So, an update. The only code that came up was the 24 code. I found the part for $104 at the subaru dealer my friend works at, but I cant get it for a couple weeks. So, out of the blue last week, it quits binding completely. I drove in circles, did figure 8s, and not binding. The power light quit fla...

Re: stuck in AWD?

So, there is a 24 code in the ECU. Im a bit confused now, so someone help me understand this. When the FWD fuse is installed, doesnt that disable the duty c solenoid? When it first started binding, it immediately went away when I put the fuse in. Then, a couple days ago, it suddenly started it again...

Re: stuck in AWD?

Also, when I shut the car off, it lurches backwards. Im assuming this is the clutchpack releasing when trans fluid pressure bleeds off. So, if the fuse is in, and it still binds, the clutch is causing it, right? No more DTCs, by the way, other than the 16 flashes upon startup. I just dont know wheth...

Re: stuck in AWD?

Well, today, it started binding again and when I shut the key off and on, the power light did flash 16 times. If I have th...

Re: stuck in AWD?

So, a friend of mine that works for Subaru told me that there was a service bulletin on some of them and they were changing the fluid and adding a friction modifier to eliminate ssome shudder. Any thoughts on this as well?

Re: stuck in AWD?

speedo works fine. The power light does not flash when I start the car, and the car did not do this at all till the other day. I mean, literally overnight. I would think a scored clutch drum would get gradually worse. I havent had time to clear and recheck codes yet, but I will. I assume that the sy...

stuck in AWD?

Hi all, Im new here and have never owned a Subie before this one. Its a 91 Legacy wagon, and I bought it a month ago from the original owner. My issue is, everything worked perfectly until yesterday. I turned out of my driveway, and the drivetrain bound up (obviously in AWD). Its never done it befor...
