yes i have torque bind. found in a search that it if it DID NOT go away with the fwd fuse in then the duty solenoid was bad. i'll try the fluid fix first but this binding is pretty bad. am i correct in assuming that the solenoid is in the transfer case and cannot be replaced without pulling the tansmission? is the part expensive? i know the labor is. also if pulling the tranmission that may be damaged , why not replace with good used? if there is such a thing. also my 97 obw has an indicator light next to the fog light switch on the dash. the manual say it will disconnect the tcs (traction control system) which comes on automaticaly every time the engine is started. mine does not seem to work and i get no tcs indicator light on the instrument display (as i should) when i turn the key on before i start it. any help? if the repair gods love me it's a loose wire... yeah right!!

while you're solving problems.... (my apologies for the multiple post but i'm just learning how this works) hello, i'm new, so i'm just jumping in in the hopes of finding some help. my 95 L 2.2 a/t went after i blew a rear seal, and the idiot mechanic who replaced it didn't add any fluid to the transmission. after reverse failed (75-80 miles) i went and bought 5 qts. of fluid and added 4 of them. now i need a transmisson. while looking for a decent one, i came across a 95 gt 2.5 with an "over heating engine", dirt cheap. (i can now guess that it needs head gaskets or more.) question: can i take the 2.5 gt trans and put in the 2.2 car? or vice versa, can i put my 2.2 engine in the 2.5 car? both cars are a little rough, but i was hoping i could take 2 and make one good. i love the 2.2 and just did the timing belt, valve covers, and rear brakes. i dream of an outback wagon, but after learning about the head gasket problems i have my doubts. hey subaru, if it ain't broke don't fix it. any help would be greatly appreciated thanks, john
