Hi,
I have a MY01 (2000) Liberty/Legacy- Outback, in Australia.
Similar symptoms to yours- here is script of what I wrote yesterday
WIND UP ON FULL LOCK - SOLVED
#8 (permalink) Hi,
I am author of thread 2 above...problem now identified as the Centre Diff !
My car is fitted with a TY754XKBAA dual range transmission - it seems that the problem of the centre diff failing in this transmission is quite common - exacerbated by doing innocent things like U turns and going up/down multi story car parks. This centre diff unit is designed to be "ünserviceable"- ie not repairable.
My research (funny- you won't find this on the Subaru factory web site) suggests that circa 2000, Subaru went from an earlier (much more durable, and repairable) centre diff, to the one used on my transmission.. I am sure in the interests of cost savings when new, and encouraging spare parts sales a few years later. Not sure if they did this type of running change on other models around the same time.
Anyway- the good news- I have sourced [from All Drive Subaroo- Sydney-Australia] a fully reconditioned gearbox for mine (transmission the same), but modified to take - and fitted with, the earlier (much more durable, and repairable) centre diff. Cost was AUD 1,925 + freight to Melbourne
Having that fitted next Monday - and I am taking the opportunity to have a new clutch fitted as part of the exercise.
Hope this has been helpful to others.
