OK after I think nearly after 2 months my red car was back on the road today...new set of planetary gears and completely rebuilt transmission..even AT oil cooler fitted ...BUT...like it used to before when you tap the brakes at over 60kph you get a thumping sensation [like a sticking caliper or driveshaft loosness ??]...before I removed the car from Subaru to have the AT rebuilt..the tech said that he checked the brakes they were all good..and that the sensation was the car going in/out of AWD ??...so tonite I found the spare 10amp fuse and placed into the "diff lock' spot ..took for a test ... NO clunking thummping sensation..smooth braking ...SO WHAT IS IT ..I'm confounded by this ...and perhaps this AWD sensation [thumping] may have caused the planetaries to fail in the first place...and I just spent a small fortune on it ...I don't want the same again
Thoughts... Harvey... anyone
