I need a pic, any pic, of the AWD transfer valve that the Transfer Solenoid/Duty C solenoid bolts into.

Ideally pics of both sides of the valve and the channels under the valve, but even a pic of the valve with just the rear section of the trans removed would be very helpful.

I can find lots of pics, but all are of 2003 or older.

By year/model this is what I'm looking for (any one will work):

Baja 2004-2006
Forester 2004
Impreza 2005
Legacy 2004
Outback 2004

subarupartsforyou is throwing me off the trail because regardless of year the only pic they show is this one:


Does that match anyone's valve?

Even if someone has seen theirs and can tell me how similar it looks to my '03:

opposedforces.com

 

OE diagrams, might have a decent enough picture for ya

2 different browsers, can't get there. No idea why.

 

The service manuals don't show any difference, but given the level of detail they show it could be different.

I'll look and see if I have any Phase 2 4Eats @ work when I get there if I do I'll tear the rear cover off and get you some pictures.  One way to verify if the parts are the same is call up a dealership parts department and ask if there was an updated part from 03 to 04.  Generally they kept the internals the same unless there was an issue and it needed an update

There is no question it is different, verified via a few routes. What I need to figure out is, is just the solenoid different and the valve is the same, or are both different?

 

Even just if I find out that the '04 solenoid is open with no power and closed with power applied (opposite before '04), that would tell me what I need to know.

Still hoping for a pic.

Bump.

 

Still can't view pics on opposedforces...

So far no joy here, subaruoutback, nasioc, and the forester group.

Try Feder's Subaru, Middletown NY. 845 344-3100.

Ask for Dave the Service Mgr. They have always been helpful.

 

O.

Monthly bump.
