You would be better fitting the likes of a neetronics controller it will give many more options than the standard thumbwheel and is simple to fit.

The DCCD does not control the front to rear split of power, it controls the amount of lock/slip of the centre diff.

In the open position the rear wheels and the front wheels can turn at whatever speeds they want, one set can be gripping and the other spinning. The further forward you wind the wheel the more the centre diff is locked. With the thumbwheel fully forward and the diff locked the front and rear wheels will turn at the same speed.

Without a contoller the diff will operate in open mode, i.e. no centre diff lock.

I bought a controller from Jeff at www.dccdpro.com when I have one in my MY98 WRX. Worked a treat.

i have managed to make a standalone loom to run my dccd gear box...i even got the lights to work on the dash!

it took 3 days of head scratching but i sorted it so it can be done...you need the dccd ecu though in order for it to work...dash lights are not essential but i wanted to see if it was all operating correctly
