i took everything back off, and then just backed the rear extension off a little, not all the way. and tried to spin the output shaft and at first it didnt move so backed it off a little more and then it started to spin, i was satisfied that it was atleast spinning so just kept checking it as i tightened everything up... i dont really get it myself but no more torque bind and no more flashing at oil temp light on startups.... not sure if i still have awd but i guess ill find out when winter comes or i happen to have the front end off the ground... Thanks for the help guys

so i just took it all back apart and all i did was back it off alil but not off the guide pins until i could spin the output shaft and then tightened it back up and now the output shaft spins???? was it just not seated just right or what would cause this?

haha no i wish!!!!

damn,put in a new duty c solenoid, could it be that spring?

ok so got everything back together on the trans and was putting the drive shaft back on and noticed i couldnt turn the rear wheels and spin the drive shaft like i could when i took it apart. Is this normal? or did i screw something up in the rear extensions? I dont want to put power to it and hear something snap or something in the rear extension. I dont know if the fact that all the fluid is out makes a difference. this is what i get for buying an automatic, should of stuck with manual....

I have 11 bolts i pulled out, i think thats all of them, the speed sensor is out as well. I think the guide pins are just holding it together. I'll try tapping alternating sides with a hammer and see how that does. I was able to get a putty knife in between sections to get it open just far enough to let it drip out over night. I have the seal for the whole rear section and two for the actual valve. Does that sound right as far as seals? Does anyone know torque specs for putting it all back together? Thanks again guys

Hello, this is my first post. I just bought a 95 two door impreza a couple weeks ago. Shortly after i started getting the blinking AT oil temp light at start up and the next day started noticing the torque binding. Anyway im replacing the duty solenoid and im stuck at removing the rear housing!, all the bolts are out but i cant get it to budge. Any suggestions? I called it quits at about 3 hours in tonight when i couldn't get the housing off, its my second car so no biggie, just figured it was time to quit before i broke something. Any input appreciated!
