Check rockauto.com for your O2 sensors. half the price stated above. they have good service in my experience and aren't an anonymous internet junk seller.
I doubt you first enter overdrive at 65 mph....thats ridiculous. My cressida locks the torque converter in OD under 45 mph! Right now Subaru only offers AWD boxer engined vehicles. |

Up to 60 there's a swell in the tach with acceleration, you can see it slip. Maybe clean tranny fluid would change that a bit, but tankfulls seem to back it up. A 1.5mpg increase going from 45 to 65 when I know this ain't no basjoos uber-aero indicates an in-effeceincy at 45, not an effceincy at 65. right?:( tonight on the way to work I'll try to pay more attention to the tach at different speeds. That link looks great, I knew there had to be someplace cheaper! |
Is there anyway to un-AWD or make it selectable on a Subie?

I've heard of subaru guys pulling driveshafts to make it 2wd but the mechanics of the transmission are still there... it's only half an answer. Find a subaru forum?
The efiiciency difference between 45-65 probably isn't aero. My guess would be that the engine's sweet spot in revs is closer to the rpm at 65. (fuel used to generate X hp at X rpm) OR the TC really isn't locking up till over 45 mph. you're checking for lockup right, I can't argue there. see above maintenance suggestions. |
