Yeah i was thinking on road use only.
My thoughts originated from the viscous coupling in the early AWD auto forester and liberty gearboxes. I read somewhere that the front wheels are connected permamently to the engine, and there is a proportion sent to the rear axle, controlled by the viscous coupling.
Or something along those lines.
I thought about it binding and releasing with a clunk, but i read this on a website...
During the slipping process, input and output rotate relative to each other and the preset limit torque continues to be transmitted.
So i figured that it shouldnt be all that bad (clutch LSD's work in a similar way)
Are there any other ways of achieving what i wanna achieve? What do other AWD systems use?
Lets make this a brain storming session!!!
