chrisgpz Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Does this car actually have full time 4WD? or selectable 4WD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soobie_newbie67 Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) Does this car actually have full time 4WD? or selectable 4WD? its is Full time 4 wheel drive. thats what they called all wheel drive back then. i figured out the problem though. these must/have to be posi-traction rear ends cause i put the additive in there and the shuddering while turning went away. says so right on the back: plus the absence of the shift lever: well, i guess you really cant see it can you. its cool though, cause i have the one with the differential lock switch. i'll have to take a pic of it.

chrisgpz Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 cool, learned somin new today. all my experience has been with the ea81's. that is sweet to have a locking diff. glad you figured it out Cheers! --Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soobie_newbie67 Posted June 11, 2011 Author Share Posted June 11, 2011 so hey, does my car have a limited slip rear diff or what??? i would like to know. i just know that when i put the additive in the rear end, the thunking stopped. so im assuming its limited slip, but would like to know for sure.

idosubaru Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 with the exception of the RX, those GL-10 turbo wagons are the most common to have the rear LSD. sounds like that's what you have. they say LSD right on the tag, should be really obvious by just looking at it. to test: jack the rear of the car up, both rear wheels off the ground and spin one tire, if: A the other side spins the same direction it's an LSD rear end B the other wheel spins the opposite direction it's an open diff (or non working LSD) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
