if you get different sized gears you can get whatever split you want, but it's going to be a bit pricey me thinks
you can also get the viscous coupling rating higher so you get more grunt to the front, i think the normal ones are only rated at something like 80 or 90 ft/lbs, i know the escos ones are higher but i can't get to the book just yet (its in the loft and we've lost the loft ladder pole thingy
)
a bit off the mark there pal , the torque split is done around the vc with the planetary gears pal, has nothing to do with the drop gears, as for the vc, the road going models were no where near that high, less than 50nm mate,
but isn't it the epicylic (sp?) stuff inside the transfer casing that dictates this?
you get one spinning at twice the speed of the other, so you get the 1/3 and 2/3 split?
yes epicyclic unit is inside the transfer, but its a complete unit, with planet and sun gears, so not as easy as just a gear change to make 50/50, this then splines onto the vc
