porcupine73 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I don't know if your bang will be gone after the flush. It seems to me I saw a TSB about a bit of a 'bang' when the AWD kicks in and it was some clutch or something engaging quickly, but I don't know if it applies to your year/model. I get a bit of a whine under certain conditions from my rear diff or something too ('00OBW). It seems to me a lot of hypoid type rear diffs get a whine with time that is unavoidable. I rode in a late model explorer once that I couldn't believe how loud that whine was on hills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericem Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I think ur right about the rear diff, because i drove around for about ? 12000km with torque bind, and my mom does ALOT of parking, i wonder if that causes damage to anything else also.

I really dont know what to make of this. What should i check, the only thing i find is sometimes when u give it the gas turning or straight sometimes the engine stuggles, then i hear a little crack noise from the dash board. If the tranny mount is damaged how would i know, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the tranny mount is damaged how would i know, thanks! By getting under the car and inspecting it. What you have is torque bind, the cracking noise you hear is the drivetrain unwinding. Dont know why its coming from the dash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericem Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 no it aint lol, i can park it and now binding at all ,just when i drive out of corners sometimes and give it gas i feel a vibration. But the crack is only on take off. No power light either. But it feels like something just isn't balanced, or in place properly, i just know it!

Check the center carrier bearing and universal joints. nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericem Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 ok, ill go out later, but u think the tranny mount has anything to do with this? Like its not a constant problem, its a thing that is there every so often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok lets back up a bit ... beepbeepbeep Put the fuse in the FWD holder under the hood for a week and tell us what happens. nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericem Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Ok lets back up a bit ... beepbeepbeep Put the fuse in the FWD holder under the hood for a week and tell us what happens. nipper not much, i put it in, but this i really confusing me, i put the fuse in and the car felt more liek AWD! but without it in, i find the front wheels spin like crazy! wtf? i had the FWD light on, but it felt more better with the fuse in, no wheel slippage, but with it out, its kind of mixed, sometimes it will slip the front wheels, sometimes not.:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the front wheels spinning is normal (meaning GET OFF THE GAS). The tires will spin if they loose traction for some reason. the FWD light should be on. I dont really understand what your saying... try explaining it again. Also you dont mention if the thump went away, im betting you have torque bind since its obvious the Duty C solenoid (which is energized when you put the fuse in ) is working properly. Do your tires match, are they all inflated properly? Have you driven on a flat or spare recently? SOUnds to me the FWD fuse is behaving normally. nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericem Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 the tires are brand spankin new, all equal pressure, new tranny, clutch pakcs, and drive solendoid, NO powerlight flashes, no codes. um, i gota try again though, but im better off waiting untill it rains or snows, because its hard to determine whats up, like my dad will floor it ,and it spun last time we tried gunning it, and it was cold the car, and i watched from outside, but no FWD fuse was inserted, but we never tried at the time with it in. I should go to the dam tranny shop who charged me 3k! and yell at him untill me tells me the truth, he claims he changed the TCU with a new 600 dollar TCU, my butt, that idiot there he probably underfilled my tranny, then it didnt shift when i floored it, and it screwed up my clutch packs, then he probably put in a used tranny. He claims the tranny is the same, there is no way thats possible, its looks like a new tranny. ANd my TCU is the exact same one, hes a idiot! im a idiot for letting my dad pay for the bill. I told my dad we should go over there and give them ************. Gets me so angry, like if i spent 3000CDN i would have preffered getting a 60k engine and tranny combo for 700 at my local JDM parts store and get my subaru dealer to install it. :mad: would have also been good if the car worked perfectly for 3000!! and if he didnt cost me 500 for a abs sensor.

Time for small claims, or at least start complaining. The car should not spin tires at all when the FWD fuse is not in. If you are spinning the front tires in AWD the AWD is not functioning. Its rare the TCU needs to be replaced. I think you got taken. nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
