4EAT in 2.5RS same as 4EAT in WRX?

Are the auto transmissions the same in these two cars? Thanks!

WRX has VTD and the RS and TS do not.

variable torque distribution... If I'm remembering correctly, it sends a little more power to the rear wheels then the manual tranny/center clutch does when accelerating to lessen understeer. a 45.5% front, 54.5% rear power split...

Thanks I think

Would the English translation be better speed control? or traction or both?

when you are powering around or out of a corner, more of the power is sent to the rear tires (54.5%), it makes the car 'plow ahead' or understeer less; in other words, better handeling characteristic

Ok. But any reason why this happen and what I could do in the future to get moving?

I am looking into a rear LSD now.

Correct me if I'm wrong... but isn't the 2004+ RS/TS 4EAT split 45% front and 55% anyway? I believe reading that on different posts but I could be wrong.
