I just wanted to say hi. I just bought 2 all trac Camry's and don't know much about them. I cant find any information. I am not new to the Toyota world, I been messing with MK1 Mr2's for about 4 years now. Both of my Camrys are Automatics. I was inquiring if the awd system was any different than that of the 5 speed manual. I know the manual is 50/50 all the time and you can lock the center diff to maintain the 50/50. So I have been told. Is the auto's front wheel drive biased and only transfer power to the rear axle when the front wheels start to slip? I wish I knew because I am planing on doing a 3sgte swap in one of mine and want to keep the auto trans. I know some of you would say that is lame but it is different and that's what I like. Plus brake boosting to 15lbs and launching it off the line is awesome!!! I used to have a a couple of turbo legacys that were automatics and it was a blast to get them off the line. So any help would be appreciated. I have searched and searched to find out the automatic awd system but to no avail. Even Wikipedia doesn't say anything how the automatics work on delivering power.
I do know the Subaru's automatic's are 90/10 front wheel biased until the front wheels start to slip then they will transfer 50% of the engines torque to the rear axle to deliver a 50/50 power split until the front wheels start get grip. Finding out this information will help me decided if I want to convert to manual transmission or not.
Thank you guys.
