Hi, had my TypeR for a few months now and have been driving around with my setting to the bottom green square on the DCCD.
Can anybody actually tell me for definate which setting is most biased to the rear wheels and which is for everyday driving?? Keep it super simple for my benifit please!!

 

bottom is fully open so in situations the most power will be sent to the rear. I think it's 73/27 split on the Rs at it's most open.

I would read up on what the DCCD does though as it isn't keeping that split, it's only allowing the center diff to open up more from the 50/50 at lock at the top.

And be careful

Cheers very much for the help guys. Hopefully stop me from scaring myself everytime I leave a roundabout in the wet. Lol
Just seems a pity that I have to keep adjusting it to park in a carpark or slowly turn the car anywhere!!

 

If your handbrake isn't too tight you can lift it 'til the light goes on, that will open the dccd.

Or get a funky device to control it, like a Neetronics
I hardly ever lock it anything on the thumbwheel on the street, 'cause I know the neetronics does it for me when the situation demands it!

 

surely using the DCCD (to increase the % of lock) on dry tarmac roads will mean transmission windup, putting severe strain on the drivetrain

 

Yes it does!

Which is why you should use it under everyday conditions on the last green, or penultimate green.

You should only ever use the orange light settings on extremely low-coefficient of friction-based surfaces e.g. very loose gravel, snow and ice.

 

is this made clear to people who buy it?

i,m surprised there arn't more "my diffs making a whinning noise/blown" threads

or "why are my tyres only lasting 3K miles"

and I would have thought on full "lock", steering would be a challenge

my Toyota 4x4 can lock the centre diff, but you would be brave to drive it over 15mph and certainly foolhardy to try and turn the steering wheel

but as you say OK with lost of slidding on very loose gravel

 

No it isn't i've just agreed to buy a Type R so had to do a lot of searching on here and asking the guy i'm buying it from about the DCCD as i knew **** all about it and tbh it seems pointless unless you do get as joz said 'extremely low-coefficient of friction-based surfaces' or he could have just said slippery surfaces

 

lol

I felt in a 'comedy' mood at the time.
