I bought a 95 plain jane legacy about a year ago knowing it had a little TB

Nice condition with only 124K...a keeper with the beloved 2.2L

 

A few drain and fills and new tires did not change it so I just slapped a fuse in

I would take it out during last winter if I needed the 4wd

 

I recently wired a switch to the dash from that fuse holder so I could easily toggle from fwd to 4wd

In the past few months I also did a few more drain and fills

 

So for kicks I decided to turn on the 4wd and see how the TB is doing....and I don't really feel it on dry pavement

 

Now at first I was excited but then wondered....is the 4wd really engaging??  Is there something wrong with the Duty C or something.....

I don't get any codes or flashing trans temp lite and never did

 

There is no snow yet so is there any easy test to confirm that the rear wheels are really being driven?

Jack all 4 wheels off the ground. Start it, put it in gear. All 4 will turn. Get in some grass and punch it.
