97 Subaru duty c and drive shaft question
Hello. First time owning an automatic subaru. The car is a 97 imprezza outback sport. I hope this is the right area of the forums
The issue Slight torque bind when tight turns at low speed At oil temp flashing 16 times at startup (cleared code) Code shows up immediately again after next startup. Fwd fuse inserted and no fwd light inside. I checked the ob85(i think it's called) 2 long flash 4 fast (24) Anyways so I'm pretty sure it's the duty c solenoid is bad. My question is can i disconnect the back half of drive axle and use it as a fwd car would that fix it from wearing until i am able in month or two to work on the solenoid once it gets warmer or will this cause damage to the rear. I'm ordering these for the job and will do it as soon as possible if the general consensus is I'll cause damage by removing half the drive shaft. It's just pretty cold out and i have no days off for the next while and i need to drive a vehicle. Thank you in advance for all the future help.

If you’re just going to drive it for a month, it should be fine as it is. You will just have really bad gas mileage and the torque bind driving issues.
