Replying to: krzyss (Nov 20, 2006 4:23 am) Passat wagons only come in automatic. Just like the 06 and later Legacy wagons.   I guess there just isn't enough volume for them to be able to offer many choices.   -juice Replies to this message: mystro (Nov 20, 2006 8:57 am) krzyss (Nov 21, 2006 10:14 am)

Replying to: ateixeira (Nov 20, 2006 8:35 am) CR was not kind to VW on several issues with reliability being a major one also, the subie AWD system (if it's a priority) cannot be equaled. Replies to this message: krzyss (Nov 21, 2006 10:14 am)

Replying to: mystro (Nov 20, 2006 8:57 am) Which Subaru AWD system cannot be equal as they offer 4 different ones? VW currently has 2 flavours.   Krzys

You pretty much have: Automatics- clutch pack power shifting between front and rear Manuals- Viscous center diffy which strives for 50/50 power via a center lsd DCCD- Center diffy electronically controlled with variable power settings and center lock 50/50   -mike Replies to this message: aaykay (Nov 21, 2006 2:49 pm)

Replying to: paisan (Nov 21, 2006 1:26 pm) Also, the VTD Autos with Clutch pack AND planetary center diffy.

Yes forgot about the VTD.   I tell you the ABLS on my Armada combined with VDC is great on it. If I put it in RWD and turn off the VDC, the ABLS will let me spin both rear wheels   -mike Replies to this message: ateixeira (Nov 22, 2006 9:41 am) kens (Nov 22, 2006 3:57 pm)

Replying to: paisan (Nov 21, 2006 8:35 pm) Nissan even uses the VDC name, they must use the same supplier.   I bet the AWD system on the new G35 is identical to the one on the Legacy GT automatics (VTD/VDC).   -juice Replies to this message: kens (Nov 22, 2006 3:57 pm)
#55 of 126 tires by cptplt Nov 22, 2006 (9:56 am)
what happens if you put Legacy sized tires on an OB?? do you just ride a little lower or does it mess up ABS, VDC etc? Replies to this message: ateixeira (Nov 25, 2006 6:40 am) cptplt (Nov 25, 2006 6:57 am) mystro (Nov 25, 2006 9:03 am) and 2 more... paisan (Nov 26, 2006 1:28 am)

Replying to: ateixeira (Nov 22, 2006 9:41 am) While I'm not sure the AWD system (planteary gearset and clutch pack) is the same, the LGT/OBXT/VDC automatics probably use the Jatco JR507E rear-wheel drive transmission for medium and large vehciles found on Nissan makes like the G35 and Z.   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Jatco_transmissions   Ken
