Couldn't they do something in between like 60:40 ? I would have preferred that because our VTD's do not have a very good grip in raining conditions especially going an uphill in raining considtions.
Sometimes I feel like my car is floating on water rather than the road when going an uphill which will cause inadequate handling... (or is it because of my large wheels and tyres = 17 x 8.5 ?)

the surface of 7.5" wheels is better than that of the 8.5", smaller surface = more grip. But though you wouldn't imagine the water on the streets here when it rains heavily, especially when you are going an uphill and the water coming to you in a downstream...

So they went back to the older Transfer Clutch AWD, because it can have the rear wheels turned off, to run the front on a two wheel dyno. The Varied Torque Diff is the best system, that is why General Motors is using this system under licence in there new models. Harvey.

I thought our cars (USDM) had a 60/40 split, ive read in many magazines and such that state that.

This is just auto writers, with no technical expetise, writing technical reports. They read other reports, like the Road and Track Guide, and repeat the same misinfomation. The people that wrote the Guide tried their best, but just did not understand the very technical nature, of the developements, that were released in this car. The transmssion AWD was one, the IRIS was another. I don't think they understood that there were two different AWDs used, for the reason that I have stated in the previous post. So in the expanation that they gave, they mixed the two together. They talk about the multi plate clutch, of the US mod, but give it the torque split of the VTD, back to front, The VTD is mainly rear wheel drive, it is actually 36%/ 64% front to rear, tighting to 50%/50%. The US model is front wheel drive, with rear wheel assist. Can go from 90%/10% front to rear to 50%/50%. Any sign of slipage between the wheels, causes the drive on both versions, to tighten towards 50/50. There was a report done in Australia last year on James's SVX, and sure enought, there was the info from the Road and Track guide being reported again. Harvey.

How's this:
It was snowing like hell last week and while visiting one of the car lots, I hit the front wheel on the curb. I can't see crap since the entrance and side look all alike under the snow. That location had like 1.5 - 2 ft of snow. Cut the long story short, I got a hole on the side wall. Time to change the tyres again. The bad thing is that they are like 6 months old so I can't just replace one of them.

I knew the VTD was rear biased while the USDM tranny is front biased and i know the torque split varies on both, but what im trying to figure out is, is the USDM tranny split 60/40 on a straight, flat road, or at 90/10? im just trying to figure out what the "standard" torque split for the USDM SVX is. I just noticed you said they give the USDM the VTD's torque split but back to front. But the USDM does vary from 90/10 all the way to 50/50 and anywhere in between but is the car normally drive at 90/10? Are you completely sure that they post the VTD's split just backwards or is the "norm" for the USDM really 60/40? im not trying to question anyones knowledge, i would just like to know as much about my beautiful SVX as i can and i would also like to know that i am speaking the truth about my car and not misinformation, basically i just want to have the best understanding of the SVX that i can and this website has been great help in getting me to my goal so far. thank you all. dustin

The Transfer system torque split varies with a number of inputs. Selected gear, road speed, and throttle opening. The split is highest with the lowest gear, the lowest speed and the highest throttle opening. To put this into numbers, when it is in 4th at 30mph/60kph, and you are accelerating hard, the split would be around 60/40, as the road speed rises, the split will reduce to say 75/25. As soon as you lift the foot, the split will reduce to 90/10. When you are taking off hard in 1st, the split is 50/50, as there is a high chance of wheel spin, so the torque split is increased to max. As the speed rises, the split reduces. So mate it is hard to state what the standard split would be, just driving down the road. If you are just crusing, it would be 90/10, hit the throttle to overtake, it would go to say 70/30, lift the foot, back to 90/10. It will allways vary to suit the conditions, though it allways needs some drive to the rear, to prevent the rear drive line from shunting. Harvey.

ok, thanks for all the info. do you think you could give a detailed discription like that of the VTD? all this interests me very much. dustin
