most four wheel drives do not spin both front tires other wise you would hop around corners,that being said you should be able to stop the spinning side tire by holding it in place ,do this before the tire starts spinning ,then the other side should spin.if not you have a problem start with the axle and work your way back in the drive train,simple process of elimination..the grinding noise sounds like a broken gear tooth in the tranny.requires tear down and replace gear.take it to a professional.hope this helps
For the most part the answer is yes. There are some electrical parts that changed from year to year but the body and most mechanical parts are the same
Is your 2003 Subaru Outback automatic or manual transmission? If it is automatic, then your transmission sounds like it's malfunctioning into the reverse gear as it is not aligning properly. If it is manual, then your transmission sounds like it may have a bad clutch or bad reverse gear. Either solution is not cheap. Good luck.
This problem could only be diagnosed is by downloading he fault codes from the transmission control module (TCM) you need to go to your Subaru dealer. I have access to the codes, but you need to know what codes are grenerated by your transmission.
I would want to see that for myself, or get a second opinion. That
really sounds suspicious since they claimed there was rust in a box
that was mostly filled with oil. And I can't see any logic in paying a
lot of money to fix a transmission that is working. Why don't you take
it to another shop and ask them to change the transmission oil, and to
save the old oil for you to look at. It would be even better to change
the oil yourself. Don't tell the dealer what you are doing. The best
thing would be to just pick up your car, as is. If it is a scam, they
could put some stuff in the transmission if you give them time to do
it. In fact, they may have already done that. I can't say it's a
scam, but it sounds like it could be if you haven't done anything that
would have broken off teeth in the transmission. And if teeth are
broken off you should be able to hear it while accelerating at low
speed in each gear.
