fwd or awd

Featured Replies

How do I determine whether a 93 Legacy L wagon is front or all wheel drive?

If a stick, drop the clutch at 5k and listen.

An auto run motor to 5k in N then drop into drive.

 

Just kidding of course, look at rear axle.

 

:lol:

alternately, jack up all 4 corners and floor it, then get out and watch the wheels spin down. :headbang:

doh!!!!!!!!

I went over to the owner's house and while I found all the diagnostic suggestions entertaining, I will rely on the fact that there is an AWD emblem on the rear gate.

More dumb questions to follow.

Yes he was telling me that his jetta was better in the snow than is "AWD" subaru!!

Do "look" for the rear differential and half shafts.

 

A tailgate could have been changed.

 

Did these years have the emblem on the side windows as well?

 

You shouldn't have to get dirty. Just look in under the rear bumper.
