@@mnopracing I have a unit with burnt clutch packs from the "real AWD" experiment, swapping DEMs ad pressure sensors, and I'm tired of my AWD reliably failing every winter for one reason or another. I'm thinking to pull out the old burnt clutch pack and drill holes to pin the stupid thing and make the system mechanical again, like it should have been from conception.
@@helidevil123 You might run into issues with binding between the front and rear wheels. There is a guy who converted an 850r to awd and welded up the Vc so that the rear wheels were no longer able to freewheel. Basically doing what your planning on, just with the gen 1 awd system. He had issues at low speed turning with the rear wheels wanting to "hop". I'm assuming you've tried getting the haldex to just be locked all the time threw a haldex controller, right?
I have a 2009 s80 with 275k on it and when I accelerate it shutters ever so slightly. Volvo told me it is a failing haldex. The fluid was changed at 160k I drive mostly highway. Do you know the part number for the clutch packs
