Wow! Sorry I am so late to see this, excellent work, excellent project. Keep it up

[rx2mazda]

[lotsaboost]

I'm sure the impending 8 second shadow's got it's commitments.

Wow! Sorry I am so late to see this

You are?, you have no clue how bad I want to make those vids after my initial thrashing! I'm working on getting a new clutch and flywheel. I started working on it and the cares of this world just keep getting in the way. Trust me, they're getting made. I'm trying to get the clutch in before the first snowflake attack. Then it will just be boring snow drifting videos

I'm Jonesing for a vid of this thing launching like it's on a catapult!!!

[ohiorob]

wait till it snows, thats when the real fun begins . give me a foot of snow and a unplowed back road. a good way to get over the winter blues.

[turbokid]

^lol my buddy just got an AWD Audi
That will be an awesome car in the snow FORSURE.
Cant wait to see some snow vids

[bakes]

Snow is great till they add salt

[Aries_Turbo]

thats why i bought a subaru. AWD salt sacrifice so i dont ruin my precious turbododges in the salt.

A video of an Omni doing axis spins would brighten my cold and wintry day.

Oh sure, you can have an AWD section but no Minivan section,

[BadAssPerformance]

AWD is different... a minivan is just a big Omni

[Reeves]

LOL!

Nice, too bad it takes like double the power to go as fast as an Omni,

["Top Fuel" Bender]

please don't insult the omni's like that
that's as bad as saying horizon's are hotter then omni's

[rbryant]

We can't do that without being put on the sexual predator watch lists so it isn't going to happen.

^^That's the dog clutch I mentioned in post #75. It's in the overrun clutch housing. The overrun clutch is basically just a one-way clutch or a sprag. It allows the driveshaft to apply torque to the rearend in only one direction so that the rear wheels freespin during coast down and you won't get the "crow hop" during the difference in speeds. This in itself won't allow you to have AWD in reverse so that's where the dog clutch comes in. The dog locks the overrun clutch via vacuum applied to the shift fork. That's why I believe theoretically you could use an electronic actuator or the stock solenoid to lock the dog anytime you wanted a 50/50 torque split between the front and rear.

You guys know that the diff ratios are slightly different front to back right
the overrunning clutch will over run continuiously on dry pavement

One the one hand that makes sense, but on the other, if this is true, it would seem that it would be taxing the viscous coupler all the time... I haven't checked the ratio of the rear end so I can't say, but, either way something is being taxed all the time... Unless they are the same... I don't suppose anyone has a FM that tells us this?

it doesn't matter Dean
turbododge guys are too cheap to buy 4 new tires anyways
the 4 different tire circumference will do that on it's own

Huzzah, i was right! ... and a little late in coming back too
