yup- tires are matching and in decent shape. How long can I drive this thing in fwd? Any downsides? I guess I'll start looking for a tranny....

I notice you say you HAD a '93

UPDATE: Okay- fresh tranny fluid and 1/2 a bottle of lucas additive didn't make a difference... I did disable the AWD and in FWD mode it didn't have a problem in a tight turn. Also, no CV boots torn on any of the 4 wheels that I can see or feel... Am I screwed yet?:-\

Big - That's been my solution so far - just go straight! Thanks for the clarification, Skip - Could the extreme cold weather have brought on these symptoms?

I'm still not clear on if you can have TB in an auto trans.... I'm going to start with a fluid check - should I run some sea foam or something through it? I'll check the boots as well.

Thanks Skip - perfect description. Does torque bind happen on autos or only man. trans? could I check for this problem by disabling the RWD with the little fuse thingy on the firewall?

It definately feels like a differential problem - could it be fluid? Am I totally screwed? How tough is it to replace? I have a sinking feeling...

searching for "torque bind" now - what the heck is that? It certainly describes the feeling... BTW it is an automatic trans.... thanks all

okay - yet another new problem with my legacy - when making a tight turn, like in to a parking place, it makes a weird dragging,binding kind of a vibration in the front end - I'm thinking that this is not good.... any suggestiions much appreciated...

Skip, you are the best. Sorry I didn't reply earlier - my rural internet went out for a day in the storm. You do indeed rock! Photos and everything! Thanks a bunch. I found, and pulled the cable - it seems to have just come loose- I put it back in and it works, but it vibrates a bit - oh well - good thing, 'cause noplace seems to have a replacement except the dealer... Thanks again bro!

Well, I was just chuckling over the posts about noisy speedo cables in cold weather - mine does it too! Well, this morning mine stopped making the noise - when the speedo stopped working completely. I don't find a replacement cable anywhere at the online parts places - about to start calling around the local parts stores. There is also nothing in the Haynes book about replacing it. Anyone have experience with this? It's a turbo, auto trans - does it even have a cable? Hmmm- I'm about to suit up and go crawl under and look - at least it's above zero today!

Thanks again for all the advice! It ran okay today - did about 70 miles on the interstate and in town. Is it possible that one of these sensors caught some junk and then cleared off? As I said, it hadn't been driven much for a while. Maybe I'll pull out the tps over the weekend and take a look...

Hmmm - could be! I'll let you know after I take it on the highway today - thanks for the edgey-ma-kay-shun!

Oh yeah, btw, it is AWD

Thanks! Hmmm, that's interesting - the day it started acting up, I did hear a weird noise from the dash behind the speedo - I thought it was just a rattle and I gave it the good ol' fonzie fist and it stopped- maybe I knocked a sensor loose? or maybe was a symptom of an exisitng problem...
