mattocs, for future reference if you get another flat, you can see if a tireshop can patch the tire, or you can buy a brand new one and have it shaved down to meet the tread depth of the other 3.

 

Yeah, i'm going to go check if I can get the tire repaird this morning, and if not i'll go in tomorrow for new tires.

you can pick up used tires for 15-40 bucks.

The hole was not fixable. I got some tires and i'm going in tomorrow to get them put on. $320 after labor and all that. Not to bad.

the thing with the all wheel drive is not just related to the center diff. or the limited slip. it has to do with one tire spinning faster or slower then the other three and the computer on the car trying to speed up or slow down the other tires to compensate the bad one this constant difference is what will burn up your drivetrain. the bigger the difference the sooner you will have problems, which there is no said timeline as to when the problems start occuring either or to what particular part. this all has to do with the wheel speed sensors at each corner of the car and what it tells the computer what is going on and this is not just for subarus, this is the case for all all wheel drives.

If we're talking about the manual tranny, the ECU is outta the picture. But ,yeah, the auto senses wheel slip and then starts to allow the clutch pack to engage more, transfering the power to the rear axle.
