I am curious as to how the 4wd/awd system works on my legacy. I know there is the ability to force the system to be 100% fwd, but can i force it into 4wd or RWD?

 

I mostly just want a system that i can tell to hold in 4wd because as it is now there is lag time between when the front wheels spin and power is transferred to the rear. If even possible.

 

 

Thanks guys

 

Edit: just found a thread that answered my question. So if i put it in 1 or possibly 2 i will have a 50/50 split, which is the best i can hope for?

 

In 1 (possibly 2) does it lock the split at 50/50?

from the factory that is the best you can hope for and 50/50 is close and a really good guess. the problem is that if your AWD is slow to kick in without your input it is going to be slow to kick in with your input. it is not the computer control that makes it slow, it is the mechanics that are xteen years old, unless you anticipate your need for AWD.

 

but there is a modification which will let you "lock" the trans in a 50/50 split 4WD. (when in 1, or 2 maybe, the system still allows for some slipping to prevent torque bind.) the mod "locks" it up, no slipping. search for: lock*, switch, awd* or something similar. it has been covered a lot and there are both pros and cons to the modification. leaving it on can cause damage.
