shortlid Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 My '98 Legacy L wagon with EJ22 and 4EAT has 141k on it now. Now that we have 2 FEET of snow here in New Hampshire I have been noticing that the rear axle does not engage till teh front wheels have made a few full rotations, then it hits hard on lock-up. This car had the tailcone replaced becouse of the tourque bind problem at 45k, I don't know if that could have a affect on teh delay. It just seems that it taking longer and longer for the clutch to engage the rear wheels in slipery situations?? Anyone with AT experincing this with 100k+ Roos???

Skip Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 sounds as if you need a transmission fluid power flush. it could be a sticking valve that is controlled by duty solenoid C. Subaru used to sell a trans fluid conditioner just for 4EAT problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83projectbrat Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 my 96 gt does the same exact thing, it seems like if i go somewhere and ease into the gas it works fine, just when you put the hammer down and try to rip outa somewhere it does this im gonna change the fluid again.

shortlid Posted February 19, 2005 Author Share Posted February 19, 2005 Just drained and refilled with 3 1/2 qts of Aamco Semi-syn. =Mercron V ATF. Shifting allot better now, just have to wait for more snow to see if AWD is improved reaction time!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortlid Posted February 22, 2005 Author Share Posted February 22, 2005 AWD is still slow and hiting hard? I have a ABS fault when I drive over 65 MPH for any length of time my ABS light comes on. then If i resart teh car it comes on until I drive a bit and use teh brakes then it goes out till I hit over 65 again. I think it is a bad speed sensor. Could that have anything to do with my AWD being VERY slow to react to front wheel slipage?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
