Yeah, it just goes to an open center diff. But its not like you completely lose rear drive.

It does act just like an open differential when the clutch packs are open though I dont know if their is any preload on them. Having take mine apart a few times, I dont think so.
The Viscous diff also act somewhat open till it get some slip. In my old autox talon it always felt pretty slow to repsond and wasnt till I had a good rear diff in that car that I felt it didnt matter. I think thats why the evo is fine with viscous center. Already has a decent front/rear diff so center is less worked.
Ive driven the evo with an early test ACD tune that didnt work and turned off the ACD. That being fully open was painfully obvious. One end would light up coming out of corners and rear was damn near uncontrollable with the TRE 12plate on exit.

yeah, the secret to ACD is that it reacts to steering input, among other things but it seems steering speed is one of the major influences... so it tends to react quite fast.. .doesnt wait for G sensors for it to act..

I'm kinda blind while attaching the line, if I remember right.
No fun.
I'll just skip the bolt. Not really needed anyway.
Re: ACD, I was skeptical of it. Only after getting it tuned, was I sold. If I could find a mechanical center diff that worked as well, or even close (not even sure it would matter at my skill level), I'd of course rather go that route. I also prefer simple.
But, man....does the car rotate nice and power-out well with a tuned ACD.

That's an awesome shot! I've always wanted to drive MRLS.
I'm debating raising the car a hair. The only reason being that the tire rubs on the harness that's above it on the driver side. Before I resort to that I'm trying to figure out a way to raise the harness up to keep it out of the tire's reach.

We also leave the big bolt out haha. Never had an issue. Neither has any of the rally guys. Hardest part of doing the gearbox these days is taking all the stuff in the way out.
Regarding acd. Ive had mine go into fault mode from losing a wheel speed sensor and u notice it big time on track. I was losing 1 to 2 seconds a lap.
Ayoustin you can get that loom to pull a lil bit and tuck it up the side of the beam it runs along. We did it to mine. Ideally it should run inside the beam but ud have to de pin everythn
