AWD not working?
I'm sure a thread just like this already exists, but the search function
doesn't seem to be working properly. In the wet leaves today, it has become apparent that I only have FWD. Any suggestions on where I should begin diagnosing this problem? Especially since snow is in the forecast! TIA! |

Considering I've owned it for five years now,
I don't think that's the issue. Unless some little elves had their way with my car recently! |

is it shooting off any trans codes?? if not I would not be surprised if the TPS is way off... Also a possibility is the fact the the clutch basket is sheered off much like my old one was...or... the clutches are shot...it could be many things just check some of the suggestions I have listed

Nope. I was experiencing clutch-pack binding this Spring though.... |

well if you were experiencing that... the selenoid c was not functioning properly... You could have broken something or just worn it out completely... Best bet would be to drop the rear extension off the trans case and investigate

I think we found your problem. I was experiencing binding 2 years ago after getting a tranny flush and 6 months after that my AWD was gone. I didn't get it taken care of fast enough. But now I'm getting an outback 4.44 4EAT anyway so it's all going to be alright...

You should get no front wheel spin, the TCU will engauge the rear wheels as soon as there is a difference in front/rear wheel speed. As you have front wheel spin, the transfer clutch is not engauging, and I would suspect the C solenoid/transfer valve assemble. Harvey.
