Meekum Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) I own a 98 subaru legacy L wagon. It has an automatic transmission. The problem is that during tight turns either way there is a vibration (torque bind) that feels as though it is more in the back of the car. This is either warm or non warmed up. I have heard that it could be the center differential (I know an automatic car does not have one, but I do not know the name of what it really is, so please if you know the proper names of what I need to replace please let me know.) The ratio that the transmission uses is a 4.11. Thanks guys, if pics are needed just let me know. What I have done so far to remedy the situation: Resealed and flushed the power steering pump Replaced the inner and outer tire rods and had an alignment Replaced tires Aight, so I just replaced the oil in the rear differential, There was some metal shaving in there. Unfortunately it had no affect. The FWD fuse does work, so it can't be the C duty solenoid My next attempt will be to change the transmission fluid and add some lubegard and drive it Edited November 12, 2013 by Meekum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 If you put the FWD fuse in that should set the trans in FWD only, and torque bind should go away of the Duty C is operating properly. If the bind does not go away with the FWD fuse in it could be a mechanical issue (worn transfer clutches or transfer drum) or the Duty C could be bad. A little glitter in the rear diff fluid can be considered normal, especially if it has been several years since it was last changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Lets assume all the tires match and are properly inflated. How many miles on the car. What condition were the tires in that you just replaced. And everything ^ he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
