Duty solenoid A controls the line pressure, but really only affects the quality of the shift, it has no bearing on when the car upshifts.

Duty solenoid C controls the torque split, but why would you want to lock it in 50/50? If it detects split, it'll change it automatically. Think about it, when have you seen the SVX squeal tires from launch?

Downside to the 50/50 split is the SEVERE binding on turns. I've been there, believe me, you don't want it. You can feel it binding even on a small 90 degree turn.

Plus, the 50/50 split will upset the handling of the car around corners. When my solenoid C went, I had snow on the ground, and I was constantly getting oversteer. When the solenoid C is working, I can do 4 wheel drifts on snow all day long. Much more fun, much more controllable.

My 3 cents worth.
