Torque Bind?

[patcal]

I believe I am suffering from torque bind on my 94. It stutters & will actually almost stop in a sharp turn. I am going to insert the FWD fuse & test it out. Will having the FWD fuse in hurt anything in the long run? Can I install the fuse & drive it normally for a few days or do I need to take it out right away? I do not want to do anymore damage. Thanks.

I had the fuse in my wife's old NA wagon for years before I sold it. Only took it out when it snowed. Seemed like everything was fine.

Well, I pulled codes from the TCU. There were no current codes but there was a old code 24 which is the duty c solenoid. When I put the fuse in, the binding went away.

I would check the resistance of the duty c solenoid and see how it compares to the values in the FSM. How does the fluid look/smell?

I have not done the diagnostic tests on the solenoid as I thought with the binding gone with the FWD fuse in, it eliminated the solenoid & was probably the clutches or something else. The fluid looks & smells fine. No burnt smell or dark color. Nice, pale pink. I will do the tests on my day off to confirm it is ok.

You are probably correct in that it's the clutches or something else mechanical, but it'd be good to confirm by checking that the solenoid is good.

Josh,

I just ordered some Lubegard Limited Slip additive that I have read on some of the subie forums. I am off Tuesday so I will be doing those tests. Thanks for the input.
