So.

1) Is this correct?
2) How and when does the car send more power to the rear.
3) If I upgrade to a 5 speed WRX trans in the future does it operate the same way?
4) Does the car actually have some form of active torque distrubution or does it just sense slip via the ABS sensors.

I am total noob here so any help would be appreciated.

Thank in advance

Tony, first off, welcome to the SVX world. As for your questions:
1. Yes you are corect, the stock 4EAT has a 90/10 split.
2. It transfer up to 50/50 when the fronts slip.
3. The WRX 5MT is 50/50 all the time. The STi 6MT depending on the year is 35/65 w/o the DCCD hooked up (What I have)
4. As far as I know, we don't have the VTD set up on our rides.

Hope that helps!
