You could be right for the Oz market Harvey, but as I understand it Fuji never brought in the Twin-Turbo Legacy/Liberty to Australia.
This is what the manual says:
"The Subaru Legacy range has 3 types of AWD systems available to its customers.
The 3 systems are:
1) Viscas LSD fitted Centre Differential system, Full Time AWD
2) Active Torque Split AWD
3) VTD-AWD system "
System 1) is for AWD Manual type vehicles
System 2) is described as "Mechanism for Automatic Vehicles not equipped with the Turbo option"
System 3) is "AWD Mechanism for Turbo equipped Automatic Vehicles"
This last one which I presume is on mine is described as:
"This Self Adjusting Electronic Random Distribution AWD System electronically adjusts itself to the driving conditions, i.e. snow, ice or mud covered roads to randomly distribute the power to the wheels separately as needed to give the driver a more comfortable even drive. There is no special operation for this system as it is totally automatic"
This sounds a lot like the SVX 4EAT to me. Would prefer if the brake bands were done away with, but I will have to wait and see. Maybe some of the Legacy Turbo sites might know when the gearboxes were upgraded to the all-clutch model.
