Will drive the car to see how it shifts. The VDT solinoid is not critical for day to day driving, if we can get the car to just drive. Paid $200 for the JDM box, so it is worth the experement.

Can anyone help locate a JDM TCU (early style)? We wire STI drivetrains into GC Impreza chassis all the time, so we just need parts and a diagram!

Thanks in advance to all!

The US TCU will run the box, but the line to the C solenoid needs to be inverted, as it is the oppersit to the VTD signal.
No signal = no clutch action, on VTD.
No signal = full clutch action on Transfer.

This will run it, but it won't be the same as the VTD TCU.
