Wonder if my impreza 2.5i wagon has a real center differential.

I've been reading some topics, and one thing makes me concerning that if my
2006 impreza 2.5i wagon manual has a real center differential?

because it seems to me that it only mentions the viscous coupling locking
mechanism... does it lack the real geared center differential?

Nope there's a real diff in there. It's the viscous coupling that makes it
lock when there's a large rotational speed difference front/back.
