I Donated broknindarkagain Posted October 11, 2010 I Donated Share Posted October 11, 2010 This isn't my LGT, but my friends.... 97 Legacy GT Auto with the 4EAT transmission... He is having the torque bind issues, I've confirmed this by poping a 30A fuse in the FWD port under the hood.... Now my question is, I've heard of people putting a limited slip additive into the ATF fluid. Does anyone know anything about this? I don't see why it would hurt the transmission, but would it even be worth trying? I would rather not tell my friend that he is going to have to buy a brand new rear section to the transmission. Any information anyone can give me would be great as I don't know much about the 4EAT - mine is a manual so thats what I know about. -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

subikid90 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Sounds like the tranny is not doing good. You can try it, I think trans-x makes a product like that. Most people with the 4eat like trans-x products. You can always talk him into the 5mt swap lol -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subikid90 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Said excuse lol. If worse comes to worse you can probably find a 4eat for dirt cheap. There are a lot laying around. -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98LGTLover Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 There are a lot laying around? Really? I had a hard time finding one when I needed one. But I finally got one with 81k on it for $350. And it works a lot better than my last one! Next car will but a manual for sure though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnegg Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 when was the last time he had his fluid changed. dirty ATF can cause binding. he can do a drain and refill 3 times with driving the car in between each one and most of the old fluid will be gone. this may help. if he DOES NOT have a flashing AT Temp light at start up his duty c solenoid should be ok. (also proven by no binding with the FWD fuse in place.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
