Rooster2 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I remember an English car called the Jensen Interceptor back in the late 60's to early 70's that was four wheel drive with viscous coupling locking center differential. So, it is nothing new. Using the viscous coupling, the wheel that slipped had it's power transferred to another wheel. I heard it worked very well, but I guess not well enough for Jensen. I don't think they are in biz anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance Front and rear diffs are both open. Center diff is viscous, non locking. I believe that a rear VLSD was available as an option, but I'm not aware of anyone who has one that came with the car when purchased new.

GeneralDisorder Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Impreza OBS will be open on both ends. Standard AWD system. Nothing special. VLSD's, etc are on higher-end turbo models mostly. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
