So that's something to check for sure.

I'm trying to brainstorm a failure that would match my symptoms. I was hoping it's something electric and not mechanical, but if my Sol C was out or something, then the FWD fuse wouldn't have an effect and the car would be stuck in AWD mode... so it seems like it's something mechanical that only occurs when Sol C is cycling? Bad clutch pack? Are there other valves that might be clogged that would cause this? Any damage common to transmissions that have sat around for a while? (This 4EAT is from a '97 Legacy Outback that was crashed in 2000... so it's been sitting on a shelf for like 5 years before I got it.)
Most Legacy Outbacks have 4.44 gears, so the rear 4.11 is probably not what you needed...

What makes you think the Tranny has 4.11 gears?
