Hi all, after saying i could not find anything re: my problem found this, today on these forums http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/85162-ok-if-the-viscous-coupler-is-a-sealed-unit-why-does-it-take-15-minutes/ "my 5 spd manual 96 legacy started torque binding a few thousand miles ago......it did exactly what you are descirbing.....mine only did it after the car was warmed up and i guess the VC just stopped shearing the fluid and BAM torque bind.....i ended up replacing my trans with a good used unit because of other problems...but after i got my car back on the road i pulled the VC out of the old trans and it is much easier than you would think to get it out......i put a thread out there a while ago about my TB problem and i think WAwalker did i nice spread going step by step how to replace it.....you can even do it with the trans in the car........oh, mine is a one piece unit.....just pull it out and plop a new or used good one back in....... but yes as sea#3 said check your air psi. first.." So my question is can I just replace the viscous coupling rather than whole gearbox/transmission (I;m English), and have to explain to Spanish mechanic what needs to be done

Hi thanks alot for getting back to me, I have had the car for about 6 years and never had a problem with it, and it only started about 2-3 months ago and yes all the tyres are the same and all have the same amount of tread and are getting to their limits

Hi all, I have a 1999 2.0 awd Impreza sport wagon, my mechanical knowledge is pretty much zero, I have had various mechanics look at it and during that process have had new front discs and pads, and front drive shafts, but the car is the same. This is the best way I can explain my problem: I drive the car first thing in the morning and it drives absolutely fine until approx.10 -15 miles, I can then hear a clunking sound and slight vibration from steering wheel and gearstick, which gets louder and progressivly worse the longer I drive, regardless of what speed I am driving it is the same constant clunk, however if I turn left or right at very, very low speeds (parking in a car par for instance) the clunking gets much quicker (again only when the car has warmed up), it gets to the stage where it sounds like something is going to break therefore cannot be driven, i have now been told by a mechanic I need a gearbox, but do not want to get one unless I know thats what the problem is, as funds are extremely low. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have looked on alot of forums and found symtoms that are sort of similar but cannot find anything the same.
