    I'm after a rough idea of what i should expect from the AWD system...
    basically, I've had all 4 wheels off the ground and engaged first gear.

    Obviously, all 4 wheels pick up drive. You can't stop the rear due to the diff but the front.... :?: What should i expect from the front.

    I can hold one wheel and the drive will go to the other (LSD I assume) but when the wheel is released, it seems really slow to pick up the drive again. It's as if it wants to get going but is struggling. :?

    It's probably how it should be...just hoping my pothole incident hasn't done more damage than first though :roll:

    As your front diff is the open type then you will be able to stop a wheel and as you say it will start to pick up drive when you let go
