Autran MM SP III question

[GalantOnly]

The stealerships sell this BP Autran MM SP III oil as very suitable for our transmission...

Has VR-4 a "rear wheel based 4-wheel drive"?? :uhoh:

Vr4 has fwd based 4wd. I don't know if you have seen under a Subaru but they are RWD based.

In mitsi land things like the pajero etc would be RWD based

Thanks David. I've seen under Subaru, but honestly, I didn't realise that they was that different...:)

A subbie has a north south engine and as such they have a RWD style gearbox - hence why it's an hour to do a subbie clutch vs 8 to do a vr4 one :p

I see... Transverse/longitudinal engine stuff. That make sence /yes

Ja, this "north / south" stuff is crazy talk :p
