[Transfer Clutch Solenoid Replacement]

No that's isn't true.

 

If the Torque bind went away with the fuse, then obviously the Transfer solenoid is working.

 

In that case, you may have a problem in the TCU.

 

If the Fuse makes no difference, then you can assume that the Duty C is not capable of opening to drain off pressure and unlock the AWD.

 

 

 

 

 

And Also, the transfer clutches are Completely accesible while you have the tailsection off. I would recommend removing the retainer clip, and pulling the plates to inspect them. Heck they are pretty cheap to replace. Take a die grinder to teh notches ont eh transfer hub before reinstallation.

 

Sorry to bring this back from the dead... but Im getting ready to replace this solenoid... What part are you talking about grinding?

 

Also.. where is the clutch pack accessible from when the tail section is off?

 

Sorry.. Im a total noob when it comes to subarus
