Need to find the signal type for DCCD gearbox

[Dessertrunner]

Matt has suggested I look at putting a WRX DCCD 5 speed in my SVX this would let me get more traction on sand as I can lock the front and back drives.. I am planning driving accross the Simpson Desert here in Australia. I need to find out what the singal is that controls the DCCD unit.

You would get more information about this on www.nasioc.com , since many members have swaped 6mts into their older subie chassis.

they are a variable signal like our transfer clutches... bets thing to do is pick up an aftermarket controlled like I plan to do sometime soon

Tony has a 5 speed...so his options are to adapt the simpler 5 speed DCCD arrangement (from JDM STi's) which doens't require the same complexity of controller, or consider a full 6 speed DCCD swap which would then need the controller you mention.

it is my understanding that the DCCD controller for a 6mt is the same or very similar to one from a 5mt(I know the jdm 5mt's had DCCD). I am pretty sure the controllers can be used with either but w/o one it is merely an open diff

My understanding was different. I understood that the 6 speed used a range of inputs (TPS, brake switch, ABS rings and possibly a yaw sensor) to calculate the best setting.

Whereas the 5 speed was simply an adjustable knob...nothing smart. Could be wrong though.
