Teleworker Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Hi, I'm new to the forum....how annoying for you guys...to answer this question again!!!! i have a '96 AT Outback, recently i started getting a howling noise from the rear diff and it seemed to bind in sharp corners and reverse. The Subie dealership said I the rear diff was bad caused by a solenoid in the tranny......they wouldnt tell me anymore, it was going to cost $1700 to fix. I can't seem to fin the tech drawings or instructions on how to do it myself. I found a used rear diff...$350...can anybody recommend what/how it needs to be done...ant pics etc. Thanks Teleworker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitz Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 The solenoid in question is a part of the rear transfer clutch located in the transaxle, not the rear diff. Your best bet would be to purchase a factory manual for your car. If you plan on keeping the vehicle for any length of time, the manual will more than pay for itself. I wish I had more specific info for you about the solenoid, but I don't. Do a USMB search. Almost everything you'll need to know about it is in the archives for your use. Maybe someone else can chime in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
