My Syncro has been doing the binding in tight turns for a while now and
only getting worse so, I just pulled my drive shaft out of my 87 Syncro
and the back part off the shaft came off first. I was able to roll my
van by turning the shaft by hand. So does this mean the VC is toasted.
Will it hurt anything else to drive without the drive shaft in??? Has it
been established that driving without the shaft does/ does not do damage
to the VC??
Yet another question.  My clutch has been chattering, just a wee bit as
i first begin to back up and out of my driveway first thing in the
morning.  (111,000 miles) How much longer do I have????

TIA.
