wierd clutch issue need help please!
nipper replied to glkiller's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
In the future, after going through a deep puddle, do not just park the car. You need to do a lot of starts from a dead stop to heat up the clutch and dry it off. nipper -
CLutch pack. If it was the solenoid, the FWD fuse would have no affect. YOu can be getting a DUty code because the valve is sticking, or not responding as it should do to an internal issues. Either way, (if this was a newer car) I would suggest a new solenoid and clutch pack. On a tranny this old a used tranny may be a better choice. How many miles on it? You can try the lucas additive as a last ditch attempt for a easy repair. nipper

no compression on 1 & 3

Its been a while since i have seen one of these, but what I would look at is things that are common to both cylinders. That can be a HG, the cylinder head, or something with the cam. nipper -

cool SO they bolted right in (not including the wirirng)? -
If the tranny is full, you wil get circullation inside the tranny. It will take 4 drain and fills to get everything out. Sadly the oil may have damaged the clutches. The clutches are not desighned to hold up to oil in any large amounts. If the linkage moves preoperly, and you get no motion in any gear, the tranny may be dead. nipper

HUH? Power steering always works as long as the enigne is running, same thing with electric power steering. There are two kinds of electric power steering, one is where a electric motor runs the pump on demand, and the 2nd generation (and more exp) is where the electric steeping motor is part of the steering rack. The 2nd one tends to make the steering wheel feel numb. If you want to feel what power steering feels like without the car running, shut the car off and try to turn the wheel. nipper

I know if there is too great a differnce between the front and rear speed sensors for too long, the TCU thinks that something is broken and will shut down the AWD. Also I dont know how this will affect the spedo, as the two VSS circuits can independently operate the spedo. Just something to think about nipper

heat shield!

So you want to collect on the fire/theft part of your car insurance. If your going to do that, you need high temp insulation tape, then put the heat sheilds back on over that (which some people have done on here. nipper -
It's rear, and they are hard to find. There are front limited slips, but they are torsen units. Now with variable traction control dohickeys, even the torsen diff is living on borrowed time (as it is super expensive to make). It should bolt right up. Sooby doesnt change the bones of the car too much. nipper

NO ti wont turn into that. If you look back youll see all along that i have said this is the proper way of doing it so nyahnyahnyahnyah and stop teasing me :-p nipper

Then scoobymods was wrong, as they said the harness wasnt there. Subaru is a small auto mfg. Since the late 1980's most auto mfgs have one harness for one model car. That means all the wiring is there (except for sub harnesses) for every accessory possible. The auto tranny harness is probably a sub harness and not in the manual tranny car. nipper

You may not be able to do what you want. You need to further investigate and confirm you have a US transmission. European, Austrailian SVX's have a center diff along with a clutch pack. As far as adjusintg power to the rear (nipper disclaimer here, i dont aprove of it) its going to be either 50/50 or TCU controlled. The Duty C is normally pulsed on/off to control the amount of torque split. The only way you can make it adjustable (and this i would aprove of myself 100% if someone can do it) is to figure out the pulses the TCU sends the clutch pack. Then you need a pulse generator to reproduce that signal on demand. I should have gotten an electronics degree instead of mechanical :-\ nipper

Honda has a "computerized diff" and guess what. It is still a set of gears with computer controlled clutch pack. Electric vehicals are expensive enough, cost is almost as much an issue as weight, so the diff as we know it will be around for quite some time. As far as power steering, lots of luck. Too many spoiled drivers out there, that they need power assist even in the smallest cars. nipper

3 years 36000 miles you should change the fluid. Tired fluid can cause hard shifiting. Check the fluid level, and if it has never been changed, change it. Cold trannies will shift late, been that way since the early 1990's. Subarus are hard shifters at times. Blu just started shifing really hard, and i noticed its been 30,000 miles since his last trany fluid change. The PRND321 bulb is just the bulb, no biggie here. The reverse lights from what your saying is most likely the inhibitor (or what we non japanese car people call the neutral saftey switch). This switch not only works the backup lights, but tells the TCU what gear you have selected. There can be more, but i think those are the solutions to the problems. nipper
