FWD fuse is a great tip, so many people I talk to didn't know they had this. Part of this may be because it is only mentioned briefly (in my case) in the manual's section on the spare tire, because the car should be switched to FWD when the donut is on to prevent strain on the AWD system.

Great video Eric. I believe the clutch packs or "MPT" on the 4EAT Subaru's are to send power to the rear. That's the reason you can put it in "FWD" mode as the transfer duty solenoid cuts off fluid pressure in a sense, and the ability to allow those clutch packs to send power to the rear. Also, you can only put an automatic Subaru in FWD mode. The manual transmission Subaru's are always AWD no matter what.

yes that would be a worn clutch or throwout bearing on the clutch fork, a full clutch kit contains a clutch disc, pressure plate and throwout bearing. Any resistance in the shifter with the engine spinning over idle speed indicates a worn clutch or bearing not applying pressure to the splines on the pressure plate (which releases the clutch from the flywheel). And cheap i mean, a flyheel is around 50-100 USD and a clutch kit is about 100-200 USD not counting mechanic costs.

Respect the fact that you don't care if your engine is dirty. But oil is the enemy of most rubber parts, keeping them clean greatly extends their life. And if you live in an area that uses salt, that attacks everything in the engine bay. A clean engine is a happy engine, and is a pleasure to work on. It also increases the resale value of the car. Stay dirty to me means I "stay dirty" not the car.

technically the point of a syncro is to match rotational speed of all gears so you can shift from one to the other without pausing in netural (like on an 18wheeler or lorry for our UK friends). Its not quick shifts per se, its clutch timing. You can shift fast, as long as your not crashing the clutch into the flywheel. That jolts the input shaft and over time cause harmonic vibrations (which can shatter a gear). A clutch is a transmission brake, but works backwards of a wheel normal brake.

my ex BMW 530i had a SERIOUS trans problem. at first it was mild, we got the fluid changed then right after the fluid change, the trans was completely shot! it was to the point where u press the gas, rpm goes all the way up to near red then CLUNK and it would start moving. a last ditch effort we got some Lucas trans fix and put it in. Sure enough the trans felt 90% better! and it stayed better for years after. it was a Miracle in a bottle. I think it helped by thickening the fluid like you said

Having it dirty won't hurt anything, I'm just a clean freak about things on my truck. But I let it get pretty dirty before I bother cleaning anything under there, usually something I do in the spring to get all the winter road crap out of it, and at the same time I spray the entire underside with the engine cleaner stuff (I do all this at those spray it yourself car washes) and wash that off really good too. We don't use salt here in CO, and our cars don't really rust, but I do it anyway.

Just FYI, I believe the old 4EAT's like in this video use the MPT Clutch system to send power to the rear. It uses a transfer duty solenoid and fluid pressure with the MPT system to send power to the rear. By putting in the fuse, it cuts off the fluid to the MPT, killing power going to the rear. The front should be mechanically driven.

@aodox 12 жыл бұрын

Its too allow slipping as the inside of the pressure clamps. The main side is on the flywheel and the back side is facing a machined and smooth surface of the pressure plate. as the bearing retracts (pedal out) the inside pushes the free spinning clutch into the flywheel (engine) and it will slip slightly as it clamps tight. This slipping allows the transmission to speed up to the engine rpm (versus the internal syncro speed which is usually around 400 rpm at idle) all in the space of a second.

@Matthew1762 12 жыл бұрын

Thanks for your clarification. By my logic, gears are just a block of metal spinning in oil but then there are some that claim of gearbox breakdowns/blown out by wear and tear (old Skodas) or too much power when doing a couple of drag races. I have a Dual Mass flywheel which is more of a concern to me than the clutch or the gearbox itself

a lot of new cars now, such as the cvt Mitsubishis, some Nissans and others use 'fill for life' fluids if your owners/service manual has no service specs for them, this may be the case, however, if you do need to do any work to the transmission, be warned that the fluids are very expensive, the Mitsubishi one for example, is around 800 dollars a can, or about 80 dollars a litre.

on a modern transmission you shouldn't pause, just one smooth movement to the next gear and let the clutch pedal out smoothly .... ideal shifts would catch the engine on the way down (rpm drop) before it reaches its idle RPM (700-1000 on modern cars) other wise you will dog the next gear and cause slow damage to the clutch and flywheel (both at least replaceable cheap but not easily).

Very, very, very rarely...... they just spin in oil all the time. There are 1950 car's that still have full original trans. Unless you seriously smash the trans at 100+ into to reverse its damn near impossible to kill one. The only concern is viscosity breakdown of the oil due to heat. But thats also a long process (5 years in hilly, mountain terrain like New Hampshire, and 10 in normal driving.......... and 5 for heavy interstate/high speed travel).

nothing wears at all, a manual is a collection of gears on shafts. All they do is spin in the oil and the oil is for lube. Unless you grind gears all the time or shatter a gear you will rarely see stuff in the oil. And, the clutch sit on the engine, under the pressure plate on the flywheel. Its a dry system (well unless you have a rear main seal leak.)

To my understanding, when the clutch pedal is pressed, the clutch disc is released from the flywheel and onto the pressure plate to stop the rotation of the gears in order to engage smoothly. So what I think is the problem, is that the back side of the clutch (the one facing the pressure plate) is worn out. Is my theory correct?

not even remotely. When the pedal goes down, it pushes the throwout bearing into the pressure plate spilnes and the inside of the pressure plate moves outward. and the clutch will start to freespin on the shaft. The gears do not stop moving (not full speed) in modern syncro'd trans. They move to allow smooth power band. When you come off the pedal, the fork retracts and the bearing is pushed off the splines by the pressure plate springs. and it clamps the clutch to the flywheel.

I press the clutch gently not slamming it through the floor but when I change gears, I hate the fact that it pauses in neutral before going into next gear. Like 1st - neutral - 2nd.

Hi Eric, Thanks for your helpful videos. My 1998 Legacy has the opposite problem to torque bind - no drive to the rear wheels. After almost a year of studying forums and asking questions I went ahead and removed the transfer case off the rear of the auto trans. The duty C solenoid was functioning as expected - normally closed, and open with 12v applied to it. I can just hear a tiny leak while blowing through it while in closed position. The metal plate between the valve body and the transmission is weird though - the only way for the oil to get to the solenoid switch and escape out into the main oil chamber is via a TINY hole in the plate. There are no gaskets either side of it. Another strange thing - now, for the first time ever, I have the rear drive shaft actually engaging the front drive shafts. The oil is drained from the transmission, and the clutch pack is somehow engaging. What is causing the clutch pack to disengage when the engine is running?
