Front Diff
Gary,
So far, there is only a complete AYC for a GSR. And he wants too much for it. RSs' are rare around here since Japanese likes luxury with power. I will keep an eye out. I will let you know when I see one.

Sorry to bring this thing back from the dead, but I'm not sure I understand the power distribution here. I understand that the final gear on the output shaft in the tranny spins the center diff. There is an output shaft on the center diff that distributes power to the to the front diff. After that... things get a little fuzzy. 
It looks as though the LF drive shaft goes into the center diff and the RF shaft into the VC, or front diff, but that can't be because that would keep the front diff locked in either case. Both front drive shafts should connect to the center diff, right?
Also, I can't see how the VC transfers any power to the prop shaft unless through the front diff. Until I looked at the service pages on this vehicle, I always thought that the VC would be directly connected to the propeller shaft, essentially being a diff itself, but after a little thought I figured that in this car the VC is probably used to lock the front diff. If that's the case, the car is essentially FWD until the moment of wheelspin, when the VC would be induced to act upon the front diff and cause a constant ratio of power distribution between the front and rear wheels.(?) I was under the impression that an AWD car had power running to all the wheels all the time, and only the front/rear ratio of power changed depending on available traction.
Seems I know a lot less than I thought I did. Do I have any of this right?
