Hi Guys,

I have a MY96 WRX which WAS an auto and has now had a manual conversion.

In the engine bay right at the bulkhead on the drivers side is a small black plastic cover which has Diff Lock written on it.

Does anyone know what it does or what it is for. I have spoken to a Scooby mechanic and he has never seen it before! Is it specific to the Auto's?

Help gratefully received

Thanks

Yup, this is only fitted to Auto's, so It won't have a function now

Iirc it is something to do with towing.

Auto's aren't proper 4x4, they are FWD with some rear power take off controlled by a clutch in the transmission, this is what that box is related to, not sure about Impreza's but Foresters you fit a fuse in and it defaults to FWD only for towing etc.
