what if I put a fuse in ( fwd) slot on a 2003 legacy MT???

It'll explode.

Seriously though, probably nothing. I don't think there are any wires connected to the fuse block on that slot.

nothing....

what other models have that fuse ?

What if...Subaru made a part-time on-demand type of transfercase? I kind of miss that about the older Subs. I use my allwheel drive about 5% the other 95% is spent in the city on dry or wet pavement. I'm tired of dealing with a fragile 4EAT that costs more to fix than it's worth. It would last a whole lot longer without all the undo stress of driving around in AWD on dry pavement. It would get better gas mileage too. I know this is blasphemy on this board but, I'm sure some people that have had to put money into replacing a clutchpak or viscous coupler ($$$$) would agree with me. Anyway, sorry about the offtopic rant I'm just bored at work, passing time.

Cant you pull a fuse and make it FWD? Is that for manuals only? Do you get better gas mileage this way?

It'll explode.

Thanks a lot.

 

I sprayed soda from my nose into the keyboard.

I thought the fwd fuse holder was available only on at car. What purpose could it seve on a manual trans car?

when getting it towed?

to the best of my knowledge, the fuse is only for the AT cars.

You can disconnect the AWD but I heard that you would up peeling out everytime you step on the gas hard b/c of the vehicles weight distribution.

The problem is the viscous coupling in a mt is completely mechanical. What effect would putting a fuse in there have? Answer: nil. Questions: why is this holder there? Is it really there?

the fuse is only for a/t units. the wiring harness is universal . the man trans has a viscous clutch that works by heat when it senses slippage between the front and rear differentials [ when the front spins faster than the rear it creates heat in the clutch which makes it apply ]. the fuse does nothing on a man trans.

That's what I thought, the wiring is universal:) and one thing I can do with mine ......I can swing the rear out at will of course on snow covered roads....that's the fun with MT:)

If you have a 4EAT, you are 90% FWD anyway.. no great gains by bypassing the AWD.. rear tires only have more than 10% power when its needed.
