The center "differential" on a Syncro operates sort of like an automatically
locking
 differential and will lock up automatically when the rear tires begin to
spin.
The REAR differential in a Syncro may have a manually operated differential
lock.  This was optional 86-89 and standard equipment 90-91 in the USA.  Some
Syncros in other parts of the world also had a locking FRONT differential,
but none sold in USA.

Sudhir Desai, Do you own a Syncro?
