Best Answer

The Subaru AWD manual transmission has a viscous coupling LSD (Limited Slip Differential) which rounds power to 50% front & 50% rear.

The VTD Transmission (in high-end subarus) has a planetary type differential with a electronically controlled clutch (solenoid) that by default splits power 45:55 (front:rear).

The lower end ones have an Active AWD system which is similar less the planetary differential and a torque split of 90:10 default.

The WRX STi has DCCD (Drive Controlled Center Diff) which is changeable in terms of torque split to the drivers needs (like near RWD or lock 50:50).

How do you determine if awd is working properly on Subaru Outback 2001?

If the AWD has been disabled a light on the dash will indicate "FWD". Otherwise, if it drives smoothly and gives no indication of a problem, it is working. The Subaru AWD mechanism very seldom fails but when they do there will be no question that something is wrong. Enjoy your car.
