Dang, You are a genius John E. Matching tires one one side and the torque bind is gone.

Lessons learned. Listen to John Egg sooner. Don't assume like size tires are actually the same size. ...

Okay, I'll try it and report back. It will probably pull towards the bigger tire side also, eh? Maybe I should put the like tires diagonal from each other?

Well, The rolling distance is a little different between the front and rear by .070 of a foot. I would not think that would make that much of a difference, but I don't know.

Steven,

Thanks. I've already checked the pinion shaft when I had the rear driveshaft off, tight as can be, no forward/aft play or side to side movement. Since the rear cover is also part of the...

Steven,

No, I didn't remove the inspection plate (I assume you mean the rear cover). I've drained and re-filled the diff twice now, eventhough the first fluid looked brand new. The parking...

I agree, they are great cars; very well put together. I guess I just got involved with them too late in my life. Now I just want to drive, not fix.

Thanks Kenny. We have lots of pull-a-part yards here. As much as I hate to admit defeat by a car. I think this is it for me and this Subie. I should have left the 2.2 in it and the rear drive...

Well, Curses. After 15 revolutions the difference from front to rear is about 1/4".

Drat.

Kenny,

When I had the 98 4EAT on the engine stand to change the filter and the C-Duty, the fluid was bright red with no signs of varnish or lack of fluid changes. I put in new of course, and...

I'm working on my original 96 Legacy Outback, with a newly serviced 2.5 in it. When I first got this car, I replaced the blown 2.5 with a junkyard 2.2 and removed the rear drive shaft to...

I am fed up with this 96 OB's torque bind.

Cannot figure it out. I replaced the auto transaxle with another from a 98. Put a new C-Duty Solenoid and transfer valve from Subaru in the 98 transaxle along with a new filter and fluid. Take it...

Yes they are different lengths. However, I did not pull the (supposedly) 98's transmission out, so I am going on what they said. The difference in length was all in the tip that went into the...

Well, we will see about that. As it turns out, my replacement transaxle did not come out of a 96 like mine, but a 98. I thought they were the same so I decided to use the torque converter off of my...

Cannot get the torque converter on far enough.

Is there a trick to this? One of the notches in the torque converter shaft has a t-slot at its bottom end; is that significant? Does that round circlip sit around the torque convert and then you...
