Subject:Syncro - Anything new on the shimming of the front diff?
From:Mike Garske

I took the driveline off of my van tonight just to test it out.  Smooth as
silk.  Took the subie engine up to 95mph. and no buzzing or vibrations from
anywhere!  I am excited to get this little problem behind me as it has been the
cause, (I'm sure), of many a busted header pipe on my sube engine.  As well, it
has caused the rear driveshaft seal on my new trans to leak liquid gold
(Redline MT).  I am tempted to throw the damn drivshaft into the pond.  Just
want to find out more about the shimming of the front diff.  Ordered flex disc
and OEM u-joints from Vanagain just to make sure this is done correctly.
