A non-list vanagon buddy told me that ther was an article in one of the VW mags about just such a beast..."cheap" too.....never followed it up..I use lockers... I'll quiz the lad.... To put a diff lock, you would need a syncro case and the solinoid and vacuum stuff. Well..yes.... I recently (last night!) heard that you are looking about 800$ in addition to a rebuild... WHOA! I have a case, carrier, shift fork, etc (no actuator..they ALL get smashed) $450....if your tranny is GOOD you don't NEED a rebuild..you just have to measure the pinion depth and set the new case up the same way. What? 2 hours once the unit is on the bench? How many times will you use it???? some people "never" others?...<grin> Is it worth it? Personal choce, right? Now limited slip would be sweet. >> DOES have an appeal......
