does the 97 trans require any extra wiring? or is it a "plug n play?

damn,looks like i'm going to be browsing craigslist or the local junkyards

looked into these? http://www.jegs.com/i/Global+West/459/1925/10002/-1?CAWELAID=230006180002551956&CAGPSPN=pla&catargetid=230006180000849689&cadevice=c&gclid=CjwKEAjwhJmwBRDGsamBu8Pp7FwSJACKD1KHzztdsD-XXF_yf_RgBiIBVgPh-tfvJuIXcKtfBMgVfxoCwV3w_wcB only issues is you will lose some tra...

fluid level is fine, is it something i should be concerned with? or just something to keep and ear out for?

about 6 months ago i replaced the fluid, it was suggested a new fluid change would help the duty c(did not). i do know that after it sits for over 5 hours the car takes a a bit to get into gear,any gear, i can sit on a flat surface and put it in gear and it takes a few seconds to respond, but after ...

so i have a technical question: when i hit the gas hard and second gear gets to 2500 rpm the trans sounds like a kazoo until about 3500 rpm (has to be hard accel, cruising does not make the sound) if i let up on the gas a bit i can make the sound go away or at least quite down until it shifts. FYI: ...

it is my primary, i am planning a trip to a pick n pull so i am hoping i can find the one wagon they have and steal the output shaft with clutches just incase they welded themselves together. and also try and secure a rear deck for the poor subie

it was in the "1" gear, even held the brake to rev higher to see if the valve is stuck not all the way to FWD but maybe kinda like a cruising setting were its split 90/10. but anyways looks like i'm hunting for a full set of clutches and a duty c along with all the goodies that go with it....

ok, found a nice gravel parking lot, and spun the tires, i had spots were the fronts dug into the gravel, but nothing from the rears so im certain the duty c is dead but it seems odd it died "open" as it were were the rears get little to no power.

i never have a helper to confirm, but there is a nice little hill near my house and when it rains i can spin the tires really good there, and i do have traction but it seems like when i had my FWD car and the front bounces as it spins. also when i did on gravel with just myself i didnt see marks for...

ok, then i feel better about replacing the duty c, did not want to change that and fine it was for nothing because the rear diff was dead do duty c solenoids fail partially open?

like i stated, the second thing i did was raise the rear and spun one side of the rear, the other side of the rear did nothing, this was with the car off, in park with both rear wheels hanging above the ground

so mine does not move, so does that mean my rear diff is dead? if so may be better to just buy a donor or saving and getting a gen 2 legacy wagon

with all four wheels up and FWD fuse in, dash saying FWD, the rear still turned, a bit faster but not by much, also with car off in park off ground if i turn a rear wheel by hand should the opposite side spin other way? (thought that is what most diffs do, first AWD system ive owned)

here is my blinking light of doom

is it a code 24? or have i been reading it wrong this entire time?

i pulled the codes per that website, said it was the the duty c, i will try again tonight and try to record it so you guys can verify that i'm not insane.

i have read most of whats on here about the duty c, i know its either stuck all the way "engaged" or almost there since i have no torque bind. what i'm trying to find out is if i can ignore the clutchs, and also i thought with the fuse in place the rears should not move if they are jacked ...

"O, help me Subaru gods!" 93 legacy wagon, awd, stock, with blinking power light says duty c is issue ok, i finally had time to lift my subi on jack stands and see how the wheels turned first: i lifted on side unplugged the tcu started car and put in neutral spun back tire and nothing happ...
