All-Wheel Drive Legacy issue

Featured Replies

The OP in that thread never posted with any resolution. Nothing was proved. I believe his problem a sensor of TCU issue, or is related to a sticking transfer pilot pressure valve or Duty C solenoid. Nip's "verdict" in that thread was speculation, just like mine, not confirmation.

 

As clutches wear, they get thinner. As they get thinner, it takes more pressure to *clamp* them toghether. Eventually they slip. They are engaged hydraulically, when they bind, it's from hydraulic force.(there are rare times that they get *welded*, but then FWD fuse would do nothing.) Most people replace both the clutches and the solenoid at the same time, neither get's ruled out as the cause at the end.
