Are you talking about a ring and pinion in the front diff? That would be on
the other side of the VC and I shouldn't be getting VC lockup in a 5 degree
rotation. That was the other thing I wondered about. With the driveshaft off
shouldn't I be able to turn the diff input shaft more? I thought it was
about a 1/4 to 1/2 turn before the VC locked.
