Subject:advice needed regarding decoupler and differential lock install
From:Ki Hong

hi all,
i'm about to send my syncro vanagon off to get the
transmission rebuilt and the mechanic i spoke to
mentioned some options i could add to my vanagon at
the rebuilders.

first was getting a decoupler and the other was
getting a locking differential.

any thoughts or opinions on whether i should get these
extras added?

the mechanic said the benefit of the decoupler would
be if i drive the van hard and if i take sharp turns
often(thus engaging the syncro system).  I live in sf
and am always doing sharp uturns on the streets when
looking for parking and such.

I also drive up to tahoe in the winter and down to
death valley, black rock etc.  not sure if i really
need the locking differential or not.

thanks for any advice on the two options.

ki
