> Well, the Passat Syncro is dead, the 4wd system is now replaced by the 4motion. > This system uses an electrically controlled Haldex clutch (http://www.haldex.com) question is: will what they use fit into a vanagon? :) or can some other product made by them fit? i've been wondering if it would be possible to replace the viscous coupling with just a sort-of-normal 4wd transfer case of some kind ... that is, take the "automatic" nature of the syncro away, and make it driver-selected. probably have to have some additional levers, but i think there would be room for that. joel |
