 A non-list vanagon buddy told me that ther was an article in one of the VW
mags about just such a beast..."cheap" too.....never followed it up..I use
lockers...
I'll quiz the lad....

 To put a diff lock, you would need a syncro case and the solinoid and
 vacuum stuff.
Well..yes....
I recently (last night!) heard that you are looking about
 800$ in addition to a rebuild...
WHOA! I have a case, carrier, shift fork, etc (no actuator..they ALL get
smashed)
$450....if your tranny is GOOD you don't NEED a rebuild..you just have to
measure the pinion depth and set the new case up the same way.
What? 2 hours once the unit is on the bench?

How many times will you use it????
some people "never" others?...<grin>
 Is it worth it? Personal choce, right?
Now limited slip would be sweet. >>
DOES have an appeal......
