can use a straight shaft or a functioning VC. The functioning VC
seems like a smart way to go, but if your VC is dead right now,
getting a shaft (not the shaft) is less expensive than a new/rebuilt VC.

I think Derek Drew is still selling "sport" VCs, ie a bit stiffer
than stock fro faster torque transfer. Downside of the sport VC is,
supposedly, harder parking, so that is where a decoupler comes in...

Hello vanadudes. I was thinking of getting a decoupler for my new

of a VC in this case?

I think it would make sense to have the DC and VC together but would
be interested to hear any thoughts from others on this

Thanks
