squatty Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 So my son crashed and totaled my beautiful "92 Loyale with only 110,000 miles on it. After much back and forth with my wife I gave in and bought another car for my kids to use. I picked up a '95 Impreza with 125,000 miles on it. It has a 2.2 Liter motor with the 4EAT transmission. Of course after driving it a few days I realized it is experiencing torque bind. I believe it is the transfer clutch solenoid as the FWD fuse did not change a thing. (I will check the TCU codes next.) I plan on flushing/draining the transmission, adding an additive and seeing where that gets me first. The dealer wants $160 for a flush and refill so I thought I would do it myself. I've read so much about Sea Foam but have never heard mention of their transmission product Trans Tune. I was considering adding some prior to draining the transmission. Anyone have any experience with this product? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Whale Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 If the Duty C isn't working, no flush or additive will relieve the torque bind. Save the money and trouble for the actual repair instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Agreed - spend $100 on a duty C and fix it right. No flushing or additives will do a thing for you. The problem is electrical and mechanical. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
