Stagea Stuck On Dirt S2 Wgnc34

[ステージア]

Hi All

On the weekend I parked on the side of the road on uneven dirt/gravel with the nose downhill. When I attempted to reverse back onto the road the two wheels on opposite corners (under least resistance) of the car just started spinning and the car didn't move. Had no space to go forward so I hit the syncro switch but nothing changed. Tried a few combos etc but the same wheels just kept spinning. Ended up having to ask some kind bystanders to push me out.

Does this sound normal? does synchro mode only work in forward? Is there something I'm missing? How does one even check if it works?

Thanks

That's normal as the front and rear diffs will each transmit drive to the easiest side.

Synchro mode is working LSD is not. You need a proper mechanical LSD. You can tell if the synchro mode is working because both (in your case only on one side) front and rear are spinning.

I was under the impression that the synchro mode locked the front diff???? I know that this does happen on mine, when engaged it becomes hard to turn on dirt (drives through the turn) although I have never tried it in reverse.

Nope synchro mode just distributes drive 50% front and rear (at low speeds) . Front has no LSD although a good mod if you have already done the back!
