Torque Bind?
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.

Re: Torque Bind?
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?

Re: Torque Bind?
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.Legacy777 wrote:I would check the resistance of the duty c solenoid and see how it compares to the values in the FSM.

Re: Torque Bind?
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.
