I will be doing some test wrenching on the duty C at a junkyard. Should I grab the TCU off the junker while I'm at it. I plan to replace the Duty C in my 91' LWagon, but wouldn't hurt to have a spare if it were in fact the TCU. I have TB when the FWD fuse is inserted.

I read where you can test a salvaged Duty C by energizing it and if it clunks into place then it is working. Along with the oil ports are open/closed etc... I might go down and pull out a junker extension housing just to practice. If it comes down to me ruinig something or figuring I dont want to work on it, thwn I am only out thew $1 it costs to get in. Better to practice on a junker than ruin your own vehcile eh? How difficult is it to replace the clutch plates while your in there? Any special tools? Any new gaskets/seals needed? I assume I will need header gaskets too if those need to come off? maybe just remove from Cat back?

91' Legacy Wagon 183K Miles A/T "power" light blinks 16 times upon start-up. The shudder happens when turning at low speeds and you can feel it shake more in the floor and near the console area than in the steering wheel. When trying to back -up out of a parking stall the idle can move vehicle backward until I start to turn then it binds and cannot power through without a little throttle. If it is just the Duty C would it be worth it to pull one off a junker and replace on mine? Where is it located etc...? Is Replacing the Duty C is a day job in the driveway? I have read you may need to remove headers and the rear shaft or something? That may have been to replace the spindle thing.

I have a 91' w/ 183K-mi and need a new tranny (so the local tranny guy says). I got what sounds liek torque bind. Put fuse in FWD holder and still have problem (what size fuse should I use). There is a couple in the local junkyard, but not sure what years are OK. Main question is seems that might as well get used certified tranny and install rather than messing with things like grinding grooves off spindle. What years tranny are interchangeable? How difficult is it to replace a tranny for a weekend warrior. Must you pull entire engine or just the headers? Thanks

So if FWD fuse in holder (what size fuse to use?) and it still shudders is that tranny issue? If tranny issue is it clutch pack or something easier to fix?
