Oops . The first flush made it sooo much better. Before it binded REALLY bad when I cut the wheel like 1/8th of a turn. I couldn't even drive the car. I had put it in FWD mode to drive it. After the first drain/fill, I am now able to drive it in AWD mode. I can feel the shudder on most 90 degree turns, but it is no where near as bad. I will try a few more drain and fills and try more posi additive. Good news on that I can rebuild just the clutch packs without re-doing the whole trans. Any recommendations on where to get the parts/write ups on how to do it?

Welp heres an update. The grinding noise out of the right rear was the backing plate. The bottom was rusted and hitting the rotor. I smashed some of it out and cut some of it away. It is mostly gone now. It is KIND OF there, but gone. Bearings are fine. Put 4 wheels and 4 new tires on it. I can now safely go over 40MPH lol. I did a trans service, the fluid was sooooooooooo brown. I put 4 quarts in like a moron, so it was overfilled, and I added 3OZ of GM posi additive with it (spoke with a seasoned scubaru tech, he said he does it all the time to cure it). I drained it down till it was properly filled. The shuddering has toned down A LOT. It is only there at extreme turns. So maybe keep flushing it?

Fixed right rear caliper, replaced rear brakes. Found left rear tire has a flat spot. Could maybe cause the "torque binding?" Its bad like can't even do over 55 lol (vibration from tire). Also found the bottom parking shoe spring on right side is hitting abs wheel? It hits hard when making a right but doesn't hit when making a left. Bad bearing?

I have done some googling and am finding some mixed information. I am driving the car home tomorrow, so I want to have everything ready so i can fix it all at once. I noticed when turning it feels like the rear wheels are locked together (like the posi unit is shot, for example). The tires are all the same size, so that is eliminated. I read that changing the fluid and adding GM Posi additive (which i have, because i have a 96 trans am) to the rear AND/OR trans??? fixes it? This is the part that confuses me, as I have no idea how the AWD subie system works. do I put that posi additive in the TRANS along with the ATF fluid AND in the rear along with the gear oil? Thanks!!

Sup guys. Long time car guy... worked for Toyota/Hyundai for 7 years then decided to change careers into the IT field. Always fixing everyone's PCs/Cars. Anyway, I am a chevy guy at heart, but love everything! I have a bunch of cars... 1996 Pontiac Trans AM WS6, 1992 Dodge Dakota 2WD 4Cyl 5Speed, 1986 Honda Interceptor VFR750, 2009 Pontiac G5 Automatic turd. I previously had a 94 v6 firebird, 94 v8 6speed formula firebird, and a 97 Honda Civic EX with a JDM B18C Type-R swap (all 3 sold). Here's my pride and joy. 96WS6 6speed Trans Am with the fabled LT1 (OPTISPARK) wahoo. My bike + WS6 heres my civic. JDM yo my dakota with 1st gen durango wheels (summer tires). stock wheels have studded snows! Now for the reason I am here. Picked up a 1998 Subaru Legacy L Wagon White AWD Automatic with the 2.2L. $700. (no pictures yet, sorry!) 180k miles. It is in decent shape, only issues I see are right rear caliper isn't working, and it has LSD issue during sharp turns. Front end is a little rough (hood is dinged up and grill is missing). Nothing a run to local Harry's U-Pull-IT won't fix. Super excited to own a Subaru! Pictures to come tomorrow.
