Yes, what you were seeing is the viscous coupler engaging. If there is
a slow differential in wheel speeds between front and rear, the coupler
doesn't engage, if there is a larger differential in wheel rotation
speeds between front and rear, the coupler engages. It's all automagic.
That's the cool thing about the syncro mechanism.
