Torque Bind with Automatic transmissions pre 99


DacerX

Recommended Posts

So my HX20 has become a problem child, and the auto has started to torque bind when turning slowly in carparks, driveways and such. I has only started 200km ago and happens on and off. It started when we went from a 205/60/15 to a 215/50/16, from reading around changing tire diameter can be the cause of this so i went back to the old wheels and tyres and its doing it now alot less but not completely gone. Main suspect is the centre diff solenoid just giving out but at the moment i dont want to me taking it all apart just to find it can be something alot simpler. So at the moment options are to check the TCU for faults see if that tell me anything or nothing. Change the ATF fluid (which isnt a silly idea anyway) add some auto additive for good measure and clean out the auto pan and filter for crap. And if that doesnt work look at replacing the solenoid in the centre diff.

Just putting this up here for anyone that has had this issue as i cant find an old thread about it at all. It does seem to happen to alot of subarus but only ones with higher kms.

Am i going the wrong way about this? Is there a easier fix?

only an issue with tires if you only changed one set as this can cause centre diff to have issues.

you can try the trick of doing tight circles first one way then the other to see if that "unbinds" it

also fit a FWD fuse and do the circles as this disables the centre diff which may also help

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
