Since they both can have the same result, wouldn't it make sence to check the TPS, first?

But, since you asked, I'll give you a little skinny on the transfer clutch. The transaxle is basically split into three parts: http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/fil...ckets/6279.jpg The three parts are the front differential, the gearbox itself and the transfer assembly. You have to remove the transfer assembly to get to the transfer clutch and solenoid. Pull the exhaust and prop shaft, support the transmission with a jack, remove the rear transmission support and you're most of the way there. It's the internal stuff that can be really touchy. The bad news is that the first pressure plate comes in four different sizes and you don't know which one you need until you get the old one out. You really need to measure the thing with a nice caliper, too - the four sizes are all within 1.2mm. Get it wrong and I guarantee your car won't like it. Reassembly is tricky. The wire for the solenoid has to go exactly where it's supposed to. If it doesn't, it can get caught up in the reduction gears and (no kidding, a Subaru tech warned me about this) pull the entire transmission's wire harness apart. Not only that, but you have to be very careful to reassemble the parking mechanism correctly. This one I have experience with: http://www.subaru-svx.net/photos/use...0Pockets|16912 I didn't do it right. Luckily I had the SVX's old transmission to cannibalize for parts. Scared yet? Check the TPS. If it' s within range, you need a new transfer clutch. Unless you're pretty experienced, I wouldn't recommend replacing it yourself.

I'm experienced with electronics and turning wrenches, but this honestly sounds like something I'd rather spend the few extra hundred dollars and have somebody else do it (warranties are a nice bonus too). I've got a few very experienced Subaru connections so it shouldn't be too expensive.. but yeah, I'll check the tps voltage first, even though it doesn't make sense that my car would make a whining noise because of that.

Beware that there was probably a reason as to why that fuse was there to begin with. Be alert for binding in tight turns.

What I'm asking is who put the fuse there in the first place...and why?
