Subject:Syncro front diff.
From:Jonathan Phillips
Date:Sun, 20 Feb 2000 21:03:31 -0800

How do I know if my front diff is actually engaging
correctly?  This may sound silly but I really don't
know.  I haven't owned this car very long and I know
that the viscous coupling engages when the rear wheels
slip.  It recently snowed here and I was backing into
a parking place that was rather slick.  The rear
wheels were spinning but I wasn't going anywhere.  I
opened the door and looked down at the front wheels
and nothing seemed to be going on there either.  Is
there a certain amount of time that it takes for the
front to engage?  How much torque is actually
displaced to the front?  Any help would be
appreciated!

Thanks,
Jonathan 87 syncro gl
