sirtokesalot Posted December 21, 2020 Author Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) Well I'm kind of at a loss of why it doesn't work right to me I just swapped the entire rear housing over from another transmission that had a bad front diff and While on Jack stands and the emergency brake set the all wheel drive will engage and overcome the emergency brake and spin the rear wheels spinning Fast too but if it's on the ground the front wheels just break free and spin the rear wheels just seem to follow along I'm confused and lost Edited December 21, 2020 by sirtokesalot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirtokesalot Posted December 21, 2020 Author Share Posted December 21, 2020 and yet at the same time it seems to be working more than it was because if i back the car into a snow bank in the driveway then go forward the rears do spin a bit but the front definetly gets way more power than the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Check the rear diff and make sure the half shafts are fully seated. I had more than one Subaru where the half shaft uncoupled from the rear diff, but was only about a 1/4" out. Felt like the clutch was slipping in the manual trans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure will fix it! That has to be your issue. Many older rear VLSD rears function like an open diff with age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
