I still have one question that WAS brought up in the "Engine difference - WRX vs Legacy GT" thread,,,,,,,,,,,
Would there be an affect on the trans by taking one set of wheels out play?
yes we have about a 1/2 ton out of the burden , but did not the original engineers design the trans for all-wheel drive?
You have incredible torque being applied to all 4 wheels ,but now you have an open tail shaft doing nothing and 2 drive wheels and the burden now sits on only one portion of the trans.
Wouldn't you be open at the very least to seal/bearing problems in the tail shaft?
the balance is off. Does this exist ? lubrication ?
If I'm racing around a track for 45 minutes, what is happening in that tail? and is the trans at a different angle than originally designed?
Thank You
Mike
