Tranny Weirdness??
I've begun noticing, that, when I park my car and turn off the key, there's some kind of "release" going on. IT's hard to describe. It's kind of like you "feel" the the transmission releasing, although the car doesn't try to move in park (as if the transmission is engaged), but -- well, it's almost that feeling when you're parked on a slight grade and you release the parking brake. I've never experienced anything like this before. Anybody have an idea? (I'm not going back to the tranny shop)

Re: Tranny Wierdness?
Randy, This reminds me of one of the symptoms I had when my transfer clutch packs were binding. It's like the AWD is wound up and when you park it and shut down the tension is released. Of course I had intermittant shuddering on low speed turns which got much worse in time and after driving for a while. The problem set a code that I can find if you want. Dave

I'm not getting the shudder you speak of (although, I'm quite familiar with it since it was prevelent in my mismatched Legacy tranny). Yes, if you could find that code, I'd appreciate it.

Re: Re: Re: Wierdy Tranness
I had a code 24 = duty solenoid "C" (transfer clutch) but it was a mechanical problem. On my '96 my AT high temp light would flash on start up occasionally. Before there were any overt symptoms. Then the wind up and more and more shudder. Especially when really heated up. Are stored tranny codes flagged like that on a '92 or do you have to chase them? D.

Figure 8s
Ok - I'll bite. What do the figure eights do for you or should I say the car? Is this something that all of us need to do for some preventative maintenance thing? Sounds good though. Gosh - I'm dizzy enough as it is, and what will the neighbors think?

Go Figure ...
Doing slow almost full lock figure eights is a way to excercise your transfer clutch packs or a way to detect if the clutch is binding. Also it attracts attention from onlookers. It can be done for either reason.

Thanks I'll have to try it and see what results I get. Should be interesting. Stay tuned.

SLOW SLOW FIGURE 8's They are very boring and not any fun at all. Fast figure 8's with wheels squeeeeeling are fun and gets attention. The kind that you don't want. |

Talk about wierdness The braking function on my transmission with cruise control started to work this week. Hasn't worked in the past year and a half since I got the car Now it starts to work. Surprised the heck out of me I thought the car had developed a new problem until I realized what was going on. I always thought it was odd that the car would not slow down going down hills in cruise mode. I thought it was a gas saving feature |

Well, we've progressed from the "release" to the "power light." At this point, I'm too PO'd to say anything. I'll pull the codes tomorrow. Anybody wanna bet on the "solenoid C" scenario?

I've been kinda sitting back, wondering if I should remind you about the 'noise' I heard while using my stethoscope on your t-case. I still haven't had the chance to listen to mine for a comparison.
