Re: 2000 Legacy L Sedan Questions

The torque split of the 4EAT used in that car is going to be similar to that used in the SVX, which can be said to have a nominal torque split of 90/10. This is before any modification is made by the TCU, however, and in my extensive testing the only time I saw 90/10 is when the car was cruising at speed, or when you are stopped, the engine is idling, and the accelerator is not depressed. As soon as you give it gas, it's gonna change that torque split. It is less aggressive than the SVX is as I understand it from those who have cracked the TCUs It shouldn't make any noticeable difference because the engine in that car is significantly less powerful than the SVX's. If you're looking to increase the torque split, you can do this easily by raising base line pressure in the transmission, or by modification of the main valve body and/or the transfer valve body.
