well part of my project for this was to get all the tsb's pretty much for the tranny and this one pertains to the whole "torque bind" issue by my knowledge
^ Transmission: Subaru 4 speed with 4WD
^ Subject: Chattering/binding in corners
^ Application: Subaru
Subaru Automatic 4 speed with 4WD
Slow speed sharp corner chattering/binding
The Subaru automatic four speed with 4WD uses a computer to control shifting, pressure rise, the torque converter clutch, and the transfer clutch. A malfunction of the transfer clutch can result in a condition called "tight-corner braking", which is felt as a chatter or bucking while turning a corner slowly,
Inputs to the computer which may affect the operation of the transfer clutch are the VSS, TPS, inhibitor switch and manual switch. The transfer clutch is controlled by duty solenoid C. At 95% on time, the transfer clutch is released and at 25% on time, the clutch is applied. Fail-safe or loss of power to the solenoid will result in full time 4WD.

im not sure about that.. reading through the article on the 4eat phase 1 that the only differences between the ea/er models and ej models transmissions is that the legacy didnt have a push button 1st gear. all excpet that in 95-98 tcu upshifts to help with overevving was replaced with fuel cut offs that started with the imprezzas. i dont know seems like an amazing tranny like he said sto be used and jus uprgraded basically a little through the years rather being replaced all together
-
actually it seems like it still ina way being used.. they also had an article oh the phase 2 4aet they used in 99 and up which seems almost the same but jus more tweeks to the design.. yeah ill probably read through it then pick through it for notes to write the paper with then as i writer read everyonce inawhile then i should be good.. i aslo have the workshop manuals for the 88 xt which has a huge section on the technical info for thiese trannys.. yeah id say theyre unique comapered to anything ive seen with its push button 1st gear selector for engine breaking.. pretty cool i must say and i think the teach will like it too ahah
-
haha oh yeah i definatly know better than that.. plus if you jus copy and paste you dont learn anything and that defeates the whole point of doin this haha.. plus theres a presentation.. plus the only time hes said subaru even in our class is talkin about ecvt outa a justy because we have a cut away of one haha. but i know to be a good boy haha. plus i gotta lengthen things probably too.
-
ahhhh you saved my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i greatly greatly appreeciate it!!!!!!11:clap:
-
would it be each engine type has its own trannys? or do they chare with other engines?? i really shouldnt have waited till the week before my papers due to find this stuff!
..... if no one has info anyone have any suggestions on where i could go or call to find some info?? think a dealer would be any help?? -

I've seen the 3AT referenced as a M-41 tranny too, for what that's worth.

-
well right now im taking automatic tranny class at school and i have to do a paper/ presentation on a automatic tranny of my choice... i was wondering if anyone has the names for the transmissions that were used in things like XT's or that age of subies.. i have the work shop manual but i cant find the name. i was also wondering if someone has a clutch and band application chart for the xt auto? man it sucks bein a procrastinator. ive had all quarter and i waited till the week before its due hahaa

I'm just getting my feet wet in the Subaru world, as I just purchased an 1986 XT GL. I love this thing, as it's very unique and runs pretty well. It's a bit rough on the inside (definitely needs a new vinyl upper-dash piece - the big one that goes all the way across), but other than that, it's in really nice shape.
I did find a replacement "visor" (the plastic piece that goes around the radio and vents) online at subaruofdallasparts.com for not terribly much. The nice thing is.......it's a NEW OEM piece, so once I figure out how to "deconstruct" my dash enough to get it put on, then it'll be good for now.
The only concern I have is that when I'm going to highway speeds, my 5th gear doesn't seem all that better ratio than 4th (goes up to around 3000rpm at 65mph). Is this normal, or should I have the tranny checked over?
I figure it'll be an ongoing project car, but at least it's got a good start on it. I'll post pics of it soon.
Cheers!
oh man congrats on the purchase!! yeah my 5th gear is the same way.. i drive a 89 xt gl.. it freaked me out too at first especially with my intense exhaust leak it sounded gnarly.. but yeah around 70-75 can be like 3500 haha. so its got the air shocks?? and if so how are they treatin ya? mine were shot in the front when i got mine and had to do a coilover swap i got off a i think it was a 85xt haha. but man welcome to family ya picked the right way to go on this one and the people in this crazy subie world are nothing but a buncha nice pple that are moer than willing to help ya out when ya need some info if they have it!! WELCOME!!!!!!!!!
