I have just bought a 90 Legacy wagon and I suspect the AWD is not working......sometimes it seems like the front wheels spin on take off. What is a safe way to...
If I remember correctly, and since I have a 1993 Subaru Legacy with AWD, I believe the AWD system on those Subaru's is all Open Differentials. Which means...
Warren, Since your system should have all Open Differentials, I'm not sure there is really any way for the system to fail. You have a permanently coupled AWD ...
huh... interesting.... then why have awd at all if the tires are just going to spin on less than ideal road surfaces? Really, i'm just curious. would 1 front...
Then it is really 4WD and one front and one rear would spin like my daughter's Chevy Blazer I've hauled in and out of our driveway a couple of times with my...
The fact that each wheel has only 25% of the torque (instead of 50% for FWD) you're 1/2 as likely to start spinning in the first place. The limited-spin diff...
I specifically said "1993 Legacy", meaning the original AWD platforms from Subaru. Not ALL of Subaru's AWD drivetrains are the same. My 2001 Impreza ...
Yeah, except technically its not 4WD because it has a center differential and cannot be decoupled. But, yes, all the later and new model Chevy Blazers and...
All this late model talk is nice ....STi's and Evos and WRXs and all....but back to my 90 Wagon issue...... .......so unless the differentials are seized i...
I was answering a lot of other questions after I answered your original question. But, here is a question for you...which I should have asked to begin ...
You are right, I looked it up again, and I stand corrected. I was thought the 1990 models were the same as the 1991-1994 models, but apparently they were not....
Yes it is AWD and is not a Turbo model. AWD was available in non-turbo models 90-94. In fact, it's rare ( in my experience) to find one that is only FWD and...
The best way I found to check this is to put the car on a lift and run the car in either Drive or (Manual) 2nd gear. You can walk around the car and control...
The code should be stamped in a not-too-hard-to-see place. The dealer can cut a key from that code. Where is that code, you ask? I dunno. mtm ... From: "Warren...
When you get the car new there is a small metal round tag attached to the keys, that has the code number needed to make a new key w/o having one to use when ...
Just tell them the serial number that you see thru the windshield. Some were doing this in Quebec to steal cars. (Now, the dealers ask the people more info...
OK a few months ago I was asking about changing timing belts. Due to other items coming up it has been until now that I could get to it. Yesterday I started...
Yeah, well you can do that because you ARE Da Man, when it comes to soobies, and also because you have a lift... ;-> Here's a different situation that I'm...
I have a 93 Legacy 2.2L, automatic, 2wd. The cooling fans run all the time, car does not start right when in cold ambient temp. The check engine light is on...
You can slow one tire down by hand to make sure the opposing tire will drive. Use a 2X4 or something like that and hold it against the spinning tire to stop...
You can pull it that way. the torque converter will come out with the flywheel. You must be very carefull not to ripp the oring type seals on the converter...
Did you replace the correct coolant temp sensor? The one needing replacement (when standing in front of the car) is located under the intake manifold on the...
... If you have one of the original keys, the code may be on the actual key. I have a '95 Legacy, and a locksmith used the code that was on my key to cut a new...
I've had a seal around the tranny pan leak twice. I bought the 99 Outback in April by the time I brought the car home it was leaking trans. fluid. I brought...
