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.
