Can the VC in the center diff be removbed and make the car 2wd.? I
live in TX now not much in the way of snow.

Don't you have mud and wet grass in TX?
I notice the AWD kicking in all the time. Especially if I'm making aOr wet roads or bumpy roads or normal roads? AWD is superior in all ways
regardless of conditions!!
Why would you Buy a Subaru with a main selling feature of AWD then try to
turn it off, buy a Kia or something.
Admittedly fuel economy suffers but the advantages are worth it...
especially on those country B roads ;o) with that flat four screaming at
7000rpm and those Brembos biting off huge chunks of speed as you blip the
throttle on the down change setting yourself up for the perfect balance
round the next corner before unleashing over 250bhp of mechanical
harmony.... Bliss!!!
Maybe AWD isnt the only selling point for Subaru ;o)

Just put the FWD fuse in.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that only works
with the H4 auto. You can't just put the fuse in with manual transmission
cars or cars with VDC.

See Dave_Frumkin's other thread where he describes how his VCD unit is
busted causing binding during low-speed turns.
The 2wd fuse is there for towing the AT box Subarus not for driving
them.
How so? If you put a fuse in to enable fwd only, then the car would have
to be
running in order for it to take effect. I believe that feature is present
to
allow driving with a mimi-spare, or in case of problems with the
center/rear
diff. It would allow the car to be driven short distances for repair.
It is NOT there to permantly convert the car to fwd, but the "only for
towing"
thingy has become something of an urban legend.

Ross said:Replace the Diff, Im sure the cost difference would not be much as
opposed to disabling the rear drive and the car would be running as
designed, would have higher resale value, no insurance implications
and be less likely to fail as a result of untested stresses etc. The
car would arguably be more dangerous as the suspension and weight
distribution is set up for AWD not 2WD. The 2wd fuse is there for
towing the AT box Subarus not for driving them.
If you are spending all that labour time in about the drivetrain why
not just replace the diff at a few extra notes and be rest assured
that the mechanics are carrying out a normal routine job not a custom
botch that they will never have had any experience doing.
