Limited Slip Differential Fix?

I posted on a few other threads and haven't gotten any replies for two days. This has never happened before so I'm starting another thread. I have the common binding issue. The car shuddering when turning at low speeds. I am getting a #24 code from the transmission. So I got a new C solenoid. My subaru mechanic hasn't started any work but now wants me to get new clutch plates, gaskets etc... before he goes in there assuming these parts will need replacing as well. Does this sound right. I just learned about a LSD additive to the trans. that has helped some people with this binding issue. I don't know if this would help me if my c solenoid is not working. Please set me straight on any of this so I can go forward and have a normal working car for a change. Thanks.


Mike

The additive is not a cure all fix for the AWD. The fact that it's binding is indicating there's a problem with the solenoid, valve and/or clutches. If you're going in to change one thing you may as well change them all.

Do it right or do it twice!

Clutch Plates

I was just trying to order these parts with 1st subaru parts and was informed that the six drive and six driven plates are obsolete. Not made anymore. They're was like one left in a warehouse somewhere. Can I get these aftermarket somewhere. Checking here first before I do a web search. Thanks.

Do they know if the WRX 4EAT plates would work?

Also does anyone know what all is included if you buy the complete extension case: part# 31331AA053 ?

Extension case

Extension case is 203.64 on subaruparts.com. Couldn't tell if this contains the plates in it that I need. I'll check with subaru if the wrx plates will work probably wednesday. Thanks.

Unfortunately, until the extension housing is removed and inspected, one won't know what exactly is the culprit and what additionally, if anything, has failed as a result.

Too many times internet info of pattern failures is deemed 'The Answer'. Then again, sometimes the same brings new insights. Just don't abandon the good practices of 'up close and personal' inspection, and use what you've read as additional information.

i did the same thing in my outback. Went in for a duty c solenoid came out with the AWD rebuilt. i went to the dealer. He said he had to pull the plates and measure them, and order them by size and not make and model. Maybe you need to follow that root.

i see your in the US, maybe give https://www.subarugenuineparts.com/oe_parts_cat.html a call, ask for Jamie, she may be able to help.
