So I took put my parents 2010 subaru legacy yesterday and I think I damaged something doing e-brake slides >>snowstorm >>rents ask to go fetch something from store >>"ight" >>spend some time in my empty school parking lot drifting. Almost hit a curb once but I hit the brakes in time lol. >>today there is a noticeable problem with shifting.
It's an automatic. I would get to speed,turn slightly then yank the e-brake for a second to get it sliding then release it and floored it to drift. Sometimes I'd do 180. What went wrong? Is it a simple fix? My dad called again to rip me a new one ..fuckkk
Auto gearboxes don't like snow drifting. You gotta lock it in one gear.
Luke Morris
Git Gud!
Brody Wood
Can I add like redgard lube to the tranny to fix this for now?
Lucas Williams
Put a can of seafoam in it.
Nolan Turner
You must be 18 or older to use this website. Also fess up and if you don't know what you're doing take it to a mechanic. Better to catch it now before something completely shits the bed.
Joseph Carter
And if you can't pick up seafoam expanding foam works the same
Cameron Lewis
>drifiting an auto lolllllllll
Adrian Watson
nice job kid
you're goose is cooked
Josiah Evans
>Thrashing other people's property Kys
Ethan Reed
You are 5 kinds of fucking stupid, lol.
Cameron Davis
>muh maunuals for tryhard autists post >muh auto better than everything post
Jacob Fisher
retard probably left it in drive lmao
bye bye clutch packs
Grayson Wood
You guys are of no help. I'm just gonna put some shudder fix and hope for the best.
I only did it like 6-10 times.
Landon Robinson
This will fix the problem
Grayson Foster
Take it to a mechanic before your dad literally rips you a new asshole
Alexander Watson
My rents will be away this weekend maybe I can just limp it till then then have a look at it? Any tips? We got tools in the garage.
Easton Cruz
Google what the inside of an automatic transmission looks like.
Go ahead. I'll wait here.
Angel Taylor
From what I remember I thought subaru's were backwards from most cars and the e-brakes are connected to the front wheels and not the rear.
Asher Jones
>180s >AUTOMATIC BIG mistake. i bet the drive gear is fucking fucked. this is why manuals are better for drifing - when you spin out you can press the fucking clutch to save the tranny if you go reverse while in drive gear.
Justin Lopez
wrong. I have a outback xt and ebrake drift it all the time
Dylan Foster
Could I just do some drain and fills. That looks easy. Would that help at all? I have a shopvac that I could connect to the drain bolt to get any debris like metal shavings out. Oh God please tell me this will work
Jack Wright
seems to me like you need a new steering wheel, engine, exhaust, interior, all new windows, windshield, and gear shift knob
Alexander Brown
You might have fucked the transmission band bruv. I feel you, but just own up to it if your parents aren't bats hit insane. Regardless, it's going to be expensive as fuck to repair. Maybe drop the transmission pan, and see if anything is busted. Good luck bruv.
Brody Sullivan
This is almost funny.
Almost.
There's no easy fix for what you describe.
This is one of those times where you be a man and own your mistake, you're not getting out of this.
Jeremiah Thompson
No man jesus, do what that other user said, drop the transmission pan. Look to see if anything is fucked. Like solenoids, springs etc if not, you are super fucked.
Tyler Johnson
This must be bait. No way someone that comes to Veeky Forums and calls himself an enthusiast is that stupid when it comes to cars.
Ryan Smith
I don't come to Veeky Forums often. So i have a theory, maybe a solenoid got stuck while sliding around. I'm gonna get the car and do what I did before and maybe that will unstuck it and make it back to normal
Dominic Gomez
Yup. Troll. Abandon thread.
Luke Kelly
That's not me. OP here, guess there isn't much I can do. Any last ditch efforts? Thanks anyway guys
Cameron Edwards
Take out the transmission fluid dipstick and smell it
If it smells like burnt hair and toast, sorry m8 your tranny is fucked
Camden Taylor
E-brake slides are pretty much the best way to destroy a Subaru drivetrain. Locking the rear wheels while still rolling puts tremendous strain on the center differential and the transmission, doubly so if you were on the gas while ripping the e-brake. I hope you have several grand laying around to replace the whole everything and I hope you learned a lesson about respecting other people's property. You deserve all the anger you get from your parents.
relevant thread for someone that fried the center diff in his Subaru by doing e-brake slides, $1600 in damage.
Carter Hall
Don't worry about it OP, borrow the car again and go do some sick drifts
Asher Bell
>less than twenty minutes to sperg out RANCID SWINE on a public non anonymous website
My sides, every time
Brody Cooper
That'd be 5-9 times too many.
You fucked the clutch pack friction material most likely. Drop the fluid and look for chunks/slivers of fibrous material or glitter.
Tune up in a bottle will last as long as you think a thirteen dollar tune up in a bottle will last.
Cunt's fucked.
Gavin Barnes
I drift my auto 325i all the time
Though I never pull the e-brake or rip 180's, only like 15 km/h slides around corners
OP must have done something really fucky if just 9 slides ruined the tranny
Leo Ramirez
>drifting an AWD automatic was it autism?
Elijah James
I did some e-brake slides too the other day but in my outback auto. Turn, let off gas, pull e-brake, wait for slide, release e-brake, hit some gas for slide. Just wanted to practice it in case I ever get into understeer situation not so much for fun. Everything seems fine here but holy shit i'll heed the warning and just not do it again. OP what the hell did you do.
Jaxon Campbell
Well, I learned what not to do in an AWD today. Nothing I drive has a center differential.
Cooper Carter
In non shit AWD systems this isn't a problem.
Subaru are fucking shit to the point where even different tyre brands can have enough rolling diameter difference in the same size to fuck up the center diff.
Dylan Hill
>sides >in orbit
Josiah Wilson
Well, there's positives and negatives to Subaru's system. In the manual ones, it's all mechanical, so it's very predictable. The car will always act the same way, no electronic fuckery. But as you said, your tire size game has to be on point.
Jackson Hall
You should be able to do it yourself as long as you have a complete wrench set, some pliars, hammer, sand paper some and other basic tools. Will take at least two hours. You need to drop the transmission and open it up (drain fluid first). Once it's open locate and remove the clutch packs and sand down with 600 grit sand paper. You probably glazed them. Use hammer to get them out and back in.
Stitch it all up and put back in. Voila. It's really not that hard, just take your time.
Zachary Ramirez
Stepping the rear out from a slow corner under throttle isn't "drifting".
Jonathan Murphy
mad fwd girl detected
Hudson Miller
>SUBARU >MUH RALLY PEDIGREE >Can't handle a quick snow snow drift session in a parking lot
Wew lad. That's why I don't into Subaru.
Justin Perry
You're not supposed to do handbrake turns in an auto Subaru. OP didn't do his research, and ended up fucking up the transmission, and possibly the diff. gg no re
Nicholas Long
I agree. This lil nigga needs to own his mistake and be stop being a little shit
Ryder Smith
>implying RWD with a direct mechanical connection is how driftan is done. Keep thinking you're Ken Block tho
Jeremiah Adams
Fuck off underage faggot, next time don't do dumb shit with things that you don't own, I hope your dad tears you a new asshole.
