4eat issue with a question for the seriously Subie guys
Posted: Fri Jun 15, 2018 3:43 am
1990 2.2 Auto AWD Wagon.. unknown miles on engine trans were wrecking yard pullouts a couple of years ago.
Coming home from work Tuesday, stopped to yell at some kids breaking windows, then drove on. When I pulled away the trans wouldn't pull, (had been working great). Managed to get it home and did some testing..
Reverse works great
First gear lock everything up slid
2nd & 3rd feel the same, never feel a shift even when in Manual mode
4th tries to shift up but goes into a neutral condition
If I am in reverse and moving and shift to 1st quickly it continues to power backwards for that couple of seconds until until first locks in and then it's like the brakes are locked, will move forward but only with heavy throttle and then doesn't want to...
I'm assuming it broke a band, probably the First/Reverse band?
Big question: The wrecking yard has a '93 AWD 4eat in a runner/driver. Hollander shows 90-92, then 93-95.. What is the difference in the trans, and is it possible to use the '93 trans in the 90?? Gear ratio issue and swap rear carrier too??
