OK #1 you are correct about the 325 code.It has no bearing on the transmission problem you are having.Putting the fuse in and having the light come on indicates that circut is functioning.

Have you had any transmission service done before winter.I ask this because if you have had the internal filter changed it is possible that the wrong length bolt was put in the wrong place and it is blocking the fluid pressure back to the transfer clutch.

Duty solinoid c which allows pressure to the transfer clutch default to full open when it fails electrically.That means the awd is always on. At this point the options are to pressure test the line pressure back to the solinoid,or replace the solinoid and hope for the best.If you interested in try to do a pressure test let me know,I can walk you through it.I just had one in the shop that had been rebuilt over the summer and the customer never realized the awd was not working until this winter.Tested it out and it has no pressure going back to the transfer clutches.In this case the customer opted to have a used one put in rather than pay all the labor for me to take it apart and find out what is blocking the passage for the line pressure.

Let me know what you would like to do and if it has had the filter changed on it.Thanks

OK let me see if I can clear this up for you. I am saying that duty solinoid c did not fail electrically.If it had then your rear wheels would turn all the time and it would show up on a scan.Although it would have to be a scan of the tcm and not the ecm. If your at temp light isn't flashing at start up,chances are there are no codes in there either.

Duty solinoid c is located in the tailshaft housing of the transmission,you can remove the tailshaft and it is right there.It is the only one and can be done with the transmision in car.When you remove the tailshaft housing you will also uncove the transfer clutches and the stopper for the parking rod pawl.If you go in there,it is important to make sure the transfer clutches go all the way in.Whats nice is they are contained in the tranfer drum and don't just fall out all over the place.

As for the pressure test.There is a port just above the rear speed sensor on the tailshaft.This is the only one for the transfer clutch.It is a pain to get to but will really tell you alot about what's going on back there.Without a scan tool it is difficult to know what percentage the solinoid is opening and what the pressure should be.However there are some specs that I can give you so you can at least be in the ball park.I will give you the specs when the subaru site will work for me again.

As for the part number,you should be able to tell a subaru parts person that you are loking for the transfer solinoid and they should know what you mean.There are also some plates and gaskets that go with it,get those as well.

I hope this helps clear this up for you.Let me know if you need more help,I will be happy to help you.Thanks for the accept and the bonus! And especially the kind words,they mean much more than the money.
