This sounds like a great idea=)  I think it would work for the viscous
coupling on the Syncro but how much is it?  I noticed they never
mentioned a price in there advertisment.  Also it seems as thou this
could be put in a 2wd vehical....so does this mean that it could be put
into the 2wd vanagons?  Does it need a drive shaft and cv joints?
Definitally interesting......
