April 27, 200619 yr Sorry for resurrecting this, but I just stumbled onto it. Figured it would be easier than making a new topic. Andyjo, anything new to report other than your bashed oil pan? I've got a DPST switch or two lieing around, might have to go all out if I do this though. Gonna go dig around my engine bay tommorow and see what I can do, probably gonna install a tranny cooler and flush it out first though.

April 27, 200619 yr Author really old uhh status on the oilpan.. some silicon rtv is holding the oil in... as for the switch, go for it! just be reminded that the 4eat is not a happy beast if you run it in that mode for a prolong period of time... when i was offroading (and bashed in my oilpan) i was running around w/ the 4wd on, and doing some pretty gnarly offroading, and the car started shaking really bad after a nasty hill... i let the tranny cool down and it was fine...

I've had mine on for hours at a time with no issues. When the transfer clutch is "locked", it isn't generating any heat. If left unlocked, it would generate a lot of heat due to constant engaging/disengaging and partial engagement. So I postulate that if you had built up heat, it was due to the torque converter, not the transfer clutch override.
October 25, 201411 yr Operose, all I did was intterupt the wire from pin 11 with a switch, with the switch on it runs normal (AWD), with it switched off the output is definitly 50/50 at the center diff. Hi guys, bumping an old thread here in hopes of some help. I just performed this mod and now I am getting a flashing AT OIL TEMP light any time I switch to 4wd (interrupt the wire). I cut the brown wire and wired in a switch. With it uninterupted, no lights and is normal. As soon as I flip the switch, the AT light flashes continuously. Any ideas?? '00 impreza OBS Edit: I had read somewhere that the AT light would only flash if you started the car with the wire interrupted. If you interrupt it it while driving it shouldn't flash...

November 21, 201411 yr The computer is looking for the resistance load it would normally see across the Duty C solenoid. If you want it to work without the warning light, you need to wire in a dummy load as described here: http://www.rs25.com/forums/f8/t99075-4eat-diff-lock-switch-handbrake-mod-torquemada-lite.html
