The Dude Abides Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Finally fixed the 4wd I found the port where the missing vacume hose went, boy they didnt make it easy. Pluged it in sat in the car and the 4wd light came on. So the vacume lines were switched around fixed that pushed the button 4wd baby Pulled onto a construction sight i just had to try it. Pushed the button in. 4 wheel drive i cant say it enough. Pushed in my finely tuned clutch and stepped on thegas. I was thrown into my seat usually when i do this i get some wheel spin, nada i take off to the first turn turn into it and to my suprise the rear whips around the rear whips around. at this point in laughing and giggling like a school girl lol i take another turn on some dirt whip it around again. This is a hoot im totally stoked so i come to a stop to check things out. Look over mud. At this point i didnt care put it in gear and take off. drive through the slop kickin up mud and crud. I tell you what i really missed out on what this car was capable of during winter. Get through the nasties and i laugh. Pull out onto the road turned the 4wd off. It did hesitate when it turned off but eventually it did. Now my car is slopy with pride. I might half to rethink this going lower thing.

Subaru_dude Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I can't wait to enjoy 4wd again. Both my soobs are 2wd but one will be 4wd sometime this summer. Your next step would be to install a D/R, then you'd REALLY know what you're missing out on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive got the easy part just switchin a tranny and a transfer case, you need to switch out a whole load of parts. I still dont know if im going to go up. Money is so tight ill probally just leave it alone. I did find some structure rust while i was lookin at the balljoint the other day. I need to take care of it before it takes care of me.

4WDFrenzy Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 4WD is sick, isn't it?! I remember my first 4WD experience in my wagon. I'll spare you guys the details, but all you need to know is that I came home with a huge smile on my face. As a matter of fact, I'm smiling right now just thinking about it. Ahhhhh....Memories! Good Job! Motor Safely!!! Patrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
