Newsubie Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Just bought my first Subaru Outback excited to have it ! It has 190000 miles on it , I was diagnosing the torque bind. I put a fuse in fwd. holder , I backed up literally like 10 ft and loud clunk lound grinding noises coming from underneath. ! I shut car off pulled fuse. Now I don’t have park ! It rolls in park. And everything still shifts fine but I start driving past 35 miles an hour and the speedo jumps to almost 90 miles per hour and rpm goes to 6000 ! I’m lost.

FerGloyale Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Broken Front CV axle 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newsubie Posted August 30, 2019 Author Share Posted August 30, 2019 The drivers side is definitely dislodged from diff side , I ll be taking it apart tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newsubie Posted August 30, 2019 Author Share Posted August 30, 2019 It was fine was late when looked last night drivers cv axle seems fine have front end of car off the ground both tires spin freely I'm at a loss ? Is my front diff pooched ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Jack the front end up, spin the tire, and watch the different parts of the CV axle (Inner and outer joints, shaft, boots) and see if they all spin together. Could be a front diff, but FAR more likely that it's one of the axles. Also, do not drive it like this. The engine revving up is a result of the transfer clutch slipping, it is not designed to take 100% of the load 100% of the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newsubie Posted August 30, 2019 Author Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) I ll clarify just the gauge needle goes up the actual engine is only at like 3000 rpm Edited August 30, 2019 by Newsubie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newsubie Posted August 30, 2019 Author Share Posted August 30, 2019 Both cv axles seem to be spinning just fine and together obviously opposite each other , when I rotate the tire on drivers side forward the opposite goes backwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newsubie Posted August 30, 2019 Author Share Posted August 30, 2019 Technically the vehicle should be in park. But the diff still spins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newsubie Posted August 30, 2019 Author Share Posted August 30, 2019 Ya original I’m sure. ! But doesn’t explain the speedo and Tom jumping now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Often times precise auto transmission failure modes aren’t explained, they’re complicated systems. Theres a small gear in the passenger side of the front diff that drives the Speedometer sensor. It sounds like: A: that small gear or associated components are compromised. B: the shaft that passes from the trans to the front diff has clearance issues resulting from whatever is causing your other issues and it’s also causing problems in the front diff.

And you said the axle was popped out of the diff......well, that would cause everything you described. 20 hours ago, Newsubie said: Technically the vehicle should be in park. But the diff still spins No, the spider gears in the diff still spin. that's normal. You can't test if the ring and drive pinion are spinning with both wheels in the air. put one wheel on ground, one in air, trans in park. Can you rotate the wheel in the air? If no that means the pawl is intact. If yes, then the pawl is not stopping the ring and pinion from moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
