i wish i didnt depend on awd....y'all seem to like the idea of an awd sti!!!

hey Paul, did you mention there was a way to test the center diff? via electronics?

and does anyone know, am i doing any damage by driving the car as is? i will drie it if the center diff doesnt cause other issues....

thanks

What kind of abuse would do this kind of damage? To blow the center diff?

i was asking the same thing today when i realized i had lost it. i dont abuse the car at all. but it did have a ton of hiway miles from the previous owner.

there was no big pop or anything that was obvious. i am pretty baffled.
