     Hi Folks

     When my syncro gets hot it gets very difficult to turn sharply
     (in car parks hairpin bends and driving on full lock). When cold
     its no problem or on looose surfaces but when its hot it feels as
     if the four wheel drive is engaged. The diff locks are definitely
     not on but you can feel the transmission tightening up. Are all
     syncro vanagons the same....mines always been like this for the
     40 000 miles ive driven it but i sometimes get concerned ill
     damage the transmission

     Cheers
