Drive train in Subaru gl wagon 1987


Recommended Posts

One possibility is that the rear differential has been changed. The turbo cars have a 3.7:1 gear ratio, while the non-turbo cars have a 3.9:1 ratio. That would make it really difficult to go anywhere in 4WD.

 

My Brother has had this car for 2 or 3 years... and last winter the 4wd worked fine... I likely need to climb under there and see if there are any obvious problems with the rear driver train.

 

Sorry I didn't add it to the title.. it is a turbo

My brother had a chance to use the 4wd in the snow a couple of days ago. He was going up a steep hill as easy as you like while all the new cars and the occasional pickup truck tried to get up the hill. He said most of these people looked really aggravated and not happy to be shown up by and old Subaru :)
