Midwst Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Why do people run their AWD Subarus in FWD? Does this help the transmission last longer? I know that the transmissions seem to fail first on these cars and I want to do whatever is possible to give it long life. Does it hurt the tranny to run it in FWD only for long periods of time?

Spazz698 Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 I believe many people run fwd in them if they have a rear binding issue. I keep hearing its not good for the duty (I think) solenoid to run fwd for long periods but I cant see how that is when you have a 10/90 power difference (in many of them at least) in the first place.

Midwst Posted June 8, 2005 Author Share Posted June 8, 2005 Thanks. I had a feeling it was a bad sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
