Does Subaru have a transfer case?
Subaru has perfected the all-wheel drive system to create a truly exceptional drive feel, no matter the conditions. Unlike other all-wheel drive systems, Subaru integrates its transfer case into the transmission, as opposed to a front wheel bias.
What is a Subaru transfer case?
Different from Other All-Wheel Drive Vehicles Unlike other all-wheel drive systems, Subaru integrates their transfer case directly into the transmission. The transfer case is the module that sends power to the front and rear wheels, and most other brands use a separate section for the transmission and transfer case.
Does the Subaru Outback have a transfer case?
You don’t have a transfer case. If an automatic, you have clutches integrated into the transmission. If its a manual, a viscous center differential instead.
Why is my Subaru transmission making a high pitched noise?
In some cases, when bearing pre-load is near the limit of specification, this thermally induced pre-load change may cause damage to the bearings and result in a high-pitched noise from the transmission.
What causes a Subaru transfer case to fail?
Here are some thing that we will cover. Over the 12 years that I have worked on Subaru’s and Subaru transmission repair there are two main parts that have usually fail when you have a problem with the transfer case viscous coupler. The first one is the AWD duty solenoid for applying and releasing the viscous couple when needed.
What should I do if my Subaru transmission is bad?
In very severe cases, where metal contamination damage is extensive, a complete transmission replacement may be required. When reinstalling the transfer driven shaft, put a small amount of bearing grease on both roller bearings, then rotate the shaft in the outer races to distribute it evenly.
What causes a Subaru transmission case to shrink?
In cold temperatures, thermal contraction causes a shrinking of the transmission case. In high temperatures, thermal expansion causes the case to expand. These temperature changes affect the amount of pre-load on the transfer driven shaft bearings.
