January 24, 200521 yr My '98 Legacy L wagon with EJ22 and 4EAT has 141k on it now. Now that we have 2 FEET of snow here in New Hampshire I have been noticing that the rear axle does not engage till teh front wheels have made a few full rotations, then it hits hard on lock-up. This car had the tailcone replaced becouse of the tourque bind problem at 45k, I don't know if that could have a affect on teh delay. It just seems that it taking longer and longer for the clutch to engage the rear wheels in slipery situations?? Anyone with AT experincing this with 100k+ Roos???
January 28, 200521 yr sounds as if you need a transmission fluid power flush. it could be a sticking valve that is controlled by duty solenoid C. Subaru used to sell a trans fluid conditioner just for 4EAT problems
January 29, 200521 yr my 96 gt does the same exact thing, it seems like if i go somewhere and ease into the gas it works fine, just when you put the hammer down and try to rip outa somewhere it does this im gonna change the fluid again.
February 15, 200521 yr Author Tell me if helps the AWD hiting hard on mid. to full throdle. Thanks Did it help?
February 15, 200521 yr Nobody has seen this problem? My '02 wiht teh 4EAT auot trasn hsa doen thsi frmo dya oen. I figurde it wsa normla.
February 19, 200521 yr Author Just drained and refilled with 3 1/2 qts of Aamco Semi-syn. =Mercron V ATF. Shifting allot better now, just have to wait for more snow to see if AWD is improved reaction time!!
February 22, 200521 yr Author AWD is still slow and hiting hard? I have a ABS fault when I drive over 65 MPH for any length of time my ABS light comes on. then If i resart teh car it comes on until I drive a bit and use teh brakes then it goes out till I hit over 65 again. I think it is a bad speed sensor. Could that have anything to do with my AWD being VERY slow to react to front wheel slipage??
