How many miles? I would start with a good old fashioned full tuneup including the PCV valve. Throw a vacum gauge on it and see if the exhaust system is clogged. Check the operation of the engine coolant temp sensor. Also reset the engine map to stock and see what happens. How old is your timing belt?

They can be as easy or difficult as you want, but I would say generally on a scale of 1-5 mostly a 2, 3 if you want to go and play in that area. No pressure, generally just a good day out. However, do bring a tow strap, a shovel, lunch, water, muncies and a change of shoes. If it is muddy this is some impressivly sticky mud, you will want another pair of shoes for the end of the day. http://www.flickr.com/photos/nipperdawg/sets/72157616150492945/ -
The manual w/o variable control, acts just like an opn diff until it detects slip, then the vscous coupling hooks up to deliver power where it has to go. On dry ground there will be 50/50 split with a plain ol diff. The VLS retursn the power split to 50/50 but there will be some slippage untill it hooks up as this is a mechanical system. An automatic uses the computer to pulse the solenoid on and off. There is also a spool valve to control the amount of pressure to the clutch. the clutches are designed to tolerate some slippage, where as a normal clutch pack can not tolerate any slippage. The combination of all three with inputs from a yaw sensor, throttle, VSS's, and inhibitor switch will instantly manage any slippage. I think the yaw sensor makes it more proactive then other systems. I will look and see if I can find it, but someplace I saw the output signal for the C, its a square wave. Ideally, leave it be and its fine. I think the best way to deal with it is like other mfg's do with lockable center diff. They read the pulses for the spedo and when the speed gets to X for the car, the center diff automatically unlocks. This would be ideal to keep one from accidently keeping the clutchpack locked and then making a 500-900.00 mistake.

AH ok i was doing research for the Offroad board and never quite found a complete listing before. I thought it was lost here when the site went poof. They are having a little hessitation as they are wondering if the stuff is legally free or not. Must be more of an issue in Ox then here. -

But if the car is in sweet shape, would be a crime to cut it up -

AWD and ABS
nipper replied to nipper's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
I want the ability to turn it on and off. The ABS has a time and a place, but off roading and snow is not one of them.
