My 1997 Outback is experiencing what sounds like torque bind. I did the drain/fill 3 times on the tranny and that seemed to help but I was doing mostly short local drives. After my first longer drive, the symptoms returned so I then changed the front diff fluid. The symptoms are less severe but still bad. The tranny does shift much better now, though. All tires are the same brand, size and inflation. I then put a 20a fuse in the fwd holder and the car did not recognize it. After a couple of days the car did finally start and indicate fwd on the display panel. All symptoms were gone in fwd mode. However, the next day the car doesn't recognize the fuse anylonger and it hasn't since (about a week). The fuse is still good so I'm not sure what this means for my car. Also, can the rear or center diff be the cause of this binding? I haven't changed the fluid in those (or is there just a center?) but I will gladly if they could also be the problem. My trans light flashes repeatedly on startup and now the binding is present even when cold. Thanks for your help.
