Torque split for an RS?

Yes, those numbers are correct for the tranny's, mostly.
I think that 1st gear on the auto's is also 50/50

i was told that my m/t was 60 to the front and 40 to th back
It switches to anywhere between 60/40, up to 90/10. It's controled by viscous coupling fluid in the diff. It gets hot, expands, providing more pressure. I don't believe the manual or auto is any different.
This is all from a fading memory, but I think I am correct.

the numbers at the top are true...
manual 50:50 under normal.
auto is different. I don't remember if 90:10 is correct... it sounds right though.
The auto uses an electronicaly controlled centre diff, where as the MT is a mechanical (viscous fluid) system.
Try searching in the tranny forum, you're bound to find some results... and at either place while you're at it... that's the only thing i use that site for anymore.. :run: :biggest:

Manual is 50:50
Auto is 90:10 in D and 3
in 2 and 1, it's 50:50

:clap: Awesome Necro Bump!!
MT Open Center Diff 50:50 split.
AT Wet-Clutch Center Diff 90:10 (ish).
Actually, I'm not even sure you can call the AT a Center Diff. It's not even a true diff.
Yeah, I called the MT an Open Center Diff, cuz IMO, that lame Viscous Coupling diff.. is just that... lame!! Sure it works fine for "helping" transfer torque in wet or snow conditions, but it's borderline useless on dry.
@Don, what your friend saw was the limitations of our open & VC differentials. Prior to installing my OBX Torsen Front Diff, at an AutoX, I could easily spin the front inside wheel on a hard corner. Now, it just grabs and turns.

Viscous is still a type of limited slip. Yes it can be "opened" easy in stock form, but it is not open. FYI. I have a STi center diff for my 5speed that requires 5 times the force to unlock.
Otherwise, bang on.
Just look at all that misinformation from the past....
