Torque bind like symptoms

[SubXtreme]

I have a nice 1.6 Levorg and it has started making these torque bind like symptoms.

When warm and doing sharp turns while moving, the car shakes/shudders sometimes a lot. Has this happened to anyone else ? Tires seem fine and are quite equally worn, it seems to stop if I put to neutral while turning, so I'm guessing, it is transmission related.

Anyone have any idea how to diagnose, cause wouldn't like tonstrt throwing parts.

Yeah, I kinda agree and that's why I would like help on diagnosing the causes, especially if there are others out there, who have solved similar issues in these fine vehicles.

Obviously a different box, but our Forester had this until I did a full flush of the trans fluid.

I *think* it was the clutch pack on the transfer case 'dragging' a bit and leaving the rear wheels locked in. The Levorg box has much the same setup.

Hi.
Daft as it may sound, I was told by a long standing Subaru (40+ years) dealer who I trust to put the car on full lock and drive in tight circles, 20ish times on right hand down then left hand down for the same number of 'circles' This is viciously mind numbing but definitely eased the similar issue that I had. Symptoms showed up worst in multi storey car parks with tight circular ramps. Worth a try!

That sounds like how you bleed the pas fluid on older cars. It sounds like a great tip
