Q: lol is this your new definition of awd. when did you adopt this one when it became obvious that yours was wrong lol its simply impossible for you to have any kind of discussion without degenerating into a juvenile pissing contest isnt it in his first post in this entire thread the one right after your flippant and incorrect response to the ops question he said ------------------------------------- in 4wd part time the transfer case is locked so both driveshafts turn as one. this causes a hopping sort of characteristic around a corner. in 4wd full time the transfer case is not locked because a differential allows the two driveshafts to turn at different speeds if need be such as around corners. in awd there are clutches in the transfer case that allow power to be directed to either axle as traction dictates. this is generally controlled by a computer although there are some mechanical systems out there. the computer senses traction at all four wheels and adjusts the clutches to power the axle that is not slipping. ------------------------------------- now how do you see this as being different than what i posted more to the point how do you see this definition as being wrong .
