  1. Hey guys.... first post, here. My wife's 2004 Outback 2.5 4EAT was experiencing the infamous rear wheel Binding while slowly turning into a parking spot. I knew it would be a rear clutch pack and Duty C solenoid. I had the dealer do the work, since we needed it done in 3 days. We were moving. SO, the dealer got the work done for a little over $1000.00. Ok, we drive to our new house several states away. Hmmmmm... funny, when I hit the gas, the front tires are spinning on the new gravel driveway! What? No Rear wheel drive anymore!! AT Light not lit. FWD fuse not in. DEX III filled and double checked. Well, I'm thinking, it just HAS to be a defective Duty C. Can't take it back to that dealer now, so I ordered another one, with new gaskets for everything I had to remove. Installed it, no problem. DANG!! Still no Rear wheel drive! So I pulled the TCU codes this time. Code 93 - Rear vehicle Speed Sensor. Well the rear sensor is part of the Trans wiring harness, so I order and install the trans Wiring Harness. Button everything back up.... still no Rear wheel drive. So I ask the dealers Tech guy what would cause error 93. He suggested the Reduction Drive Shaft, as sometimes the welds on the Stamped gear shear off. I knew from the last time that I was in the Extension case, the stamped gear was on and looked great, and it would not spin independently of the Reduction drive gear, so I was a little reluctant to replace it. But I went ahead and ordered up the shaft, gear, bearing, and seals. I pressed all together, then dropped the Extension case again, and pulled out old reduction shaft and installed new reduction shaft. Still no Rear wheel drive. Soooo.... I am at a loss as to what to do next. Does the tranny have to come out and get rebuilt? Is there anything else I can check before this? Also, I am not a car mechanic, just a "Weekend" Mechanic. But I am a certified A&P mechanic. Thanks guys. If you need them, I do have the list of the part numbers for everything I installed, as well as the part numbers for everything the dealer initially installed.
  2. As Many of you already know, I Travel too often and Usually I got a Camera nearby... Last travel I saw a Nice Subaru Loyale Sedan, dark grey and its Rear Part was too High than its Front, then I Noticed something "Wrong" with it. See: Well... it is not "Wrong", Just Unusual to see a Loyale's Rear Looking just like my 1969 Mercury Comet: With a Solid Axle big Diff and Leaf Springs Sorry: I Couldn't obtain better Pics, it was Late Afternoon and I Think I Scared the Driver, 'cos after the Third pic I Take, he did run more Faster... and I Slowed down to let him go in Peace... I Wish I Could ask him more Details of the Swap, but I Think it is a Rear Diff + Springs that came from a Toyota Corolla (1983 Wagon?) Nice Swap Idea, if you Consider that Good Quality Axles are Dissapearing and Poor Quality -ussualy Chinese- Brands are taking the Market... Also FWD Axles trend to fail too Often in our Roads. What do you Think About this? Could it be a Good Idea to make a Car More Reliable / Cheap to Drive \ Easy to Maintain? Kind Regards.
