[95 legacy AWD wagon, 260,000 KM]

for 3000.00 CAD.

 

I am planning on buying this car...I WANT 4 wheels driving...is there anything besides the normal stuff I should look for? It has been dealer maintained for its life.

[AWD question]

thanks...

 

 

 

it is a 95' legacy AWD...w/manual tranny

[AWD question]

The automatic transmissions have a torque split of 90/10 under normal straight dry driving conditions. So the front wheels are going to be most of the work. WHen slip occurs, the torque split can increase up to 50/50

 

Manual transmission cars have 50/50 torque split all the time.

 

Manual tranny cars use a viscous limited slip differential to control torque transfer, while the autos use electronics.

thanks legacy!!! RIGHT ON! Great board, btw.

[AWD question]

What actually I thought that only the front wheels drove, unless slippage was detected...

[AWD question]

yes, yes, no.

All four wheels at the same time driving aLL the time?

 

 

WOW...

 

I love my car!!!

[AWD question]

Does AWD work ALL the time, or this there some sort of sensor??

 

sounds like something that would go bad..
