92 Legacy automatic- How to tell fwd from awd from inside car?

Featured Replies

Hi, this may seem like a dumb question, but are there labels inside the car indicating that it is awd or are the AWD and FWD interiors identical. I ask because I now have one in my driveway that the exterior badges are gone, and I havent gotten the chance to crawl underneath yet.

the AWD and FWD interiors are identical. Look underneath from the rear. If you see a rear diff, it is AWD. You can also look under the hood. If there is a fuse holder by the right strut tower, that also indicates that it is AWD. The FWD models do not have the fuse, as they are always in FWD mode.

In the driver's door jamb there's a sticker that has the tire sizes, and will also list the drivetrain and body type- FWD SEDAN or AWD WAGON or whatever. But yeah, just look for a diff... good and reliable.
