My OBW has a slushbox so I obviously can't push in the clutch when using the e-brake to do snow drifts, but should I put it in neutral? That is what I have been doing but I was wondering if I have to.

There is a solenoid that controls the AWD, and a fuse in the engine bay that disables it. under that theory, if you hook up a swith to the parking brake release button, you could have it activate when you push the button.

 

I've got a 5mt that i'll be swapping in eventually so i just e-brake slide away, however, i put in a stiffer rear sway bar, so i don't need the ebrake for that any more.

 

I have a OBS, so i used a WRX wagon bar, but in an OBW, you might need to get one from IDP or Rallitek

Dont ebrake slide in a legacy. The only subaru that you can do that in is an sti because it disengages the rear wheels when you pull up in the ebrake.

What if I put it in neutral first?

I dont think that matters... as the front 2 wheels are still rolling and the rears aren't. Even though it's in "N", the Differential is still working (I think).

 

It's the same reason you can't tow an AWD car on 2 wheels.

Like said above.. you can do it, but it's not good for your car.. i do it, i shouldn't.. but it's so much fun!

Thanks all! I only do it in the snow so I tell myself it's not as bad then, lol.

 

I am having so much fun with all wheel snow drifts and we are supposed to get another 6" or so tomorrow, woo hoo!!
