Title: Teach an old boy about syncro gear boxes and power ratios to wheels?
Post by: clipperjay on 07 November 2006, 23:03

OK teach me everything you understand about power distribution in syncro's and the ratios used on the system front to back wheels.
What happens in a quarter miles run in 4X4 mode like the slip diff how it can determine whats going on. Fixed or is it variable?
What kind of BHP are hitting fronts and rears?
What difference would a G60 limited 16V have over Rallye 8V?
Pictures are allowed to help the slow like myself! :wink:

The syncro system you are talking about uses a torsen center differential.

Ok from a lamemans term the drive shafts have a clutch plate that work against friction like when your slipping under load or an uneven surface traction?
This haldex is it only on modern Audi's or do we have the Torsen version on the Rallye's?

Yeah Rallyes have a torsen.

Mk4/Mk5 Audi A3 have the Haldex.
