Re: five speed fr/rr drive ratio

so what happens to the drive split when you put in a 5-speed. It is 90-10 front rear split on U.S model with up to 50-50 lockup, my buddy has a legacy turbo that is a constant 90-10. I know the benifits of a variable torque split, how does putting in the five speed affect the driveability of this car, will it affect the cars ability to negotiate VERY SLICK, and variable dangerous road conditions? is variable better than fixed? Are there any other ratios available for conversion? what would be best for the conditions above? Thanks for any helpful replies
The manual box does not do a changing torque split. It just uses a viscos diff for a 50/50 split. I think? Huck? Beav?
