 I am a Vanagon enthusiast. I stop to look at any that are for sale. I
 test drive them when I can, and I try to pay attention to detail I can.
 One detail I simply have not seen, is an Automatic Syncro. Could I be
 missing something very common? Or perhaps this is just a gross misprint.

 Any information you could share would be great.
 Thanks,

Dave, what the book meant by automatic 4 wheel drive system, is that the 4
wheel drive will automaticaly engage when necessary. When a rear wheel slips,
the front VC will automaticaly power the front wheels.
