I have a 1987 subaru gl 1.8 liter 3 speed automatic with 4x4 on demand.What type of transmission does it have and should all 4 tires turn when its not engaged in 4 wheel drive.We had it up on a lift and put it in gear and thats what it was doing. What is going on

You can tell if 4WD is engaged with the car on the ground.  Find a place [parking lot]]  where you can go in a tight cicle - steering wheel at full lock.  Idle around in a circle or 2 to get a feel for the crawling speed.  Switch on 4WD.  the car should slow due to drag / binding of 4WD going around tight corner.

 

If it doesn't change, something's wrong.

 

When not in 4WD, it is front drive only.
