nipper Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Also torsen diff's are not really good for slick conditions, as they need traction on both wheels to operate. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nipper Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 tell that to an Audi owner my experience they work fine Torsen is in the center only, i thought, so there for it always has a load. http://www.autozine.org/technical_school/traction/tech_traction_4wd_2.htm nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sushi Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 After looking at the above posted pages, it seems to me that the 5spd impreza tranny would work, and is designed the same as the xt6 one. The only difference is there is a clutch pack where the 4wd locker once was, if a person was skilled enough (and had the time and machinery) they could theoreticaly replace the 4wd locker with a clutch pack and have real AWD. Am I right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
