Centre diff lock

AndrewT · Post by **AndrewT** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 3:06 pm

I know some of the import AWD EA82 gearboxes have the Vacuum operated centre diff lock...

Is it possible to rig something similar up to a later model EJ dual range box? IE my 1999 Outback gearbox. I just need some way of locking and unlocking the centre diff. Anyone got any ideas?

albins are making a low / low gear set now I was told

I did not think I needed low range over the weekend with the auto , just more rear drive

Due to the lack of dual range EJ boxes in the US, some guys have resorted to putting L Series boxes in their Outbacks/Foresters. Would have to change to a 3.7 or 3.9 rear diff (if not already installed). Dual range Full Time would still have a poor low.

The EJ boxes run a viscous centre diff wihich normally can't be locked.

Not unless you want to put a DCCD centre from an STi into it:twisted:
