Subject:      Re: SA Limited slip differential and getting stuck
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

I spent the weekend exploring new camping locations on a friends land, about
120 acres of forrest, creeks, and valleys. I was driving the little path
through the trees and at the bottom of a hill the path curved and went back
up a hill. I managed to make it through fine but when I had to come back the
front tires sank in and slid sideways in the mud rendering the van useless.
I imagine part of the problem was the Michelin Agilis tires, but mainly not
having a Syncro :(

So the next best thing to a Syncro would be limited slip. But all the tranny
shops say they don't make one for the Vanagon. So I am wondering if these
limited slip differentials from South Africa would fit in an 091 4-speed
transmission? Is the differential the same for the 091 and the 094? And if
not could it be made to work?

I really doubt I will find a Syncro Campmobile that I can afford in the next
decade, but I still want to be able to drive off road to go remote camping.
Will this work?
