Yes, the syncro system is like the one on vanagon. The viscous coupling 
sits ahead of the rear axle, which has diff lock and independent 
suspension. No terrain gear, 5speed straight gearbox. You cant lock the 
visc. coupling. I have never seen a EV syncro with autotranny so im not 
sure about it. I have a diesel and drive a lot on low gears, its not so 
thirsty thou.
