hhhh1

im in nelson

ive got one here you could have had for $50..too late now

perhaps...or maybe its one of those things that always has power going to it provided the battery is hooked up. i really dont know though thats just a guess, and im only going off what ive been told by other people in regard to what the fuse does/is for

i thought removing the fuse caused the rear wheel drivetrain to disengage from the rest of the transmission but im apparantly incorrect

i dont know much about the suby auto transmissions but i assume the wheels will be turning the halfshafts which turn the rear diff which turns the driveshaft which will be spinning something in the trans while other bits arent spinning as they would in normal operation..or something like that, boostin will know

yea thats the thing i got told would get wrecked unlees the fuse was disabled. man i wish my car was auto again lol just so i could test it out. maybe ill have to go to a car dealer testdrive an auto sometime...have you or anyone else actually done it themselves to confirm what it actually does?

and yes i know the brake thing would be the same in the cef, both easy to replace, but id rather someone more competent handles the important stuff like brakes just in case....

my problems havent been electrical thank god, just mechanical stuff eg the last thing was seized brake caliper. i dont know about electrically but i know most of the stuff in the engine bay is a joke to work on in a suby as theres no room, even changing the clutch in a subys a major pain in the arse isnt it?

im a bit confused now, you seem to know your sht. but ive also been told its so you can lift up the front and tow your auto if it craps out without stuffing the trans or something. wouldnt that mean that the rear wheels were disengaged completely?

If you don't like it, fix it yourself -yeah i reckon thats fair enough and i try to its just harder in a legacy than it is in a cefiro. but yea ive never had a problem with my second hand parts

are you sure?? ive been told by several people who have had auto bd5 legacies who stuffd round with the fuse marked "diff lock" that it makes it fully FWD, and that they did good as fwd skids...i dont see how 50/50 power spilt would make this even remotely possible

yea the turbos have it too

i was under the impression at least with my model (94 rs legacy) that manual power split was 50/50 and auto was 65/35 Rwd/Fwd. And yes my driving experience did seem to confirm this as my car stepped out way more when it was auto and was easier to control sideways too compared to how it is now that its converted to manual.

i dont entirely agree with you there. its a bit like saying paying $20 000 for an old wrx is a good deal coz itd be way cheaper than if you had to make all the parts in it and assemble it yourself. it is true that itd be cheaper/easier to buy the wrx for $20 000 but its still a rip off. i know its not relevant in this case where a diagnosis is required but if anything goes wrong on my suby i just replace the whole problem area with cheap secondhand parts, its not worth getting most stuff actually fixed as the labour charges are just ridiculous

waste of time converting a stuffed engine to single turbo...just buy a single turbo replacement engine ie out of wrx/forester etc (might as well fork out a few hundy extra fo a sti one IMO). you will also need the gearbox crossmember from the single turbo and the single turbo downpipe. i dunno if you can use your ecu of loom without some rewiring though, and you might possibly need a few more bits?
