The reason is it puts more stress onto the front differential. Under "normal" driving conditions about 66% of the torque goes to the front differential and 34% goes to the rear. With the FWD fuse installed 100% goes to the front! That MIGHT not seem like much, but consider this; If you are using all 230HP, in AWD 151.8 HP goes to the front, in FWD 230HP goes to the front diff, THAT is a 51.51% increase in torque. Our transmissions are designed to operate at 50/50% under high loads to distribute/share the loads. So under high load you are causing double the torque to all of the front (only) load bearing surfaces. Also during wheelspin with the fuse in F/R clutch discs spin at dissimilar speeds, causing some clutch wear. With the front and rear wheels turning at different speeds any weak internal componant can fail.

Re: possible dead front diff
I didn't convert it to fwd. I had to go to WORK and had no other transportation. The tranny was a 4.11 awd, my tires where bald because I didn't have the MONEY to buy new ones. I had no other choice but to do what I did, but yet I get criticized for it. All I asked was a few simple questions. My tires have literally NO TREAD left on them so It's very hard to keep the car from spinning the tires.

I did not criticize at all, I just answered your question. Putting in the fuse in IS converting it to FWD.

Re: possible dead front diff
No, that was intended for the sarcastic guy. I'm just pissed that this happened but I'm ok now that I managed to rape my wallet for my last $240 to get a new tranny.

One last question, what is the average cost of a cv axle for this car ?

Subaruparts.com $397.60 plus shipping. New aftermarket from Advance Auto Parts, about $70.00, BUT make sure that the wheel side hub diameter is the correct size!

Re: possible dead front diff
Holy sh*t ! $70 sounds much more reasonable. Also what cars came with which transmissions, my memory is a little fuzzy. The legacy's that are in the junkyard are a 93 L, 91 L, and a 99 legacy outback.

Re: possible dead front diff
Help porfavor. I know I did the swap already and this is a stupid question to ask, but all the trannies are older than mine or newer so I'm not sure if they will work.

Re: possible dead front diff
Well you took one step back, and there I was.
It’s not the first time someone has taken my comments to be sarcastic. I think it is not just a language difference, I think it is a culture difference, Australians have a good/weird/warped, sense of humour, and joke about anything, themselves included. I guess that Americans see some of that, as sarcasm. Harvey.

I'm sorry about the rude remark I made. I was very aggravated.
