also if it is a AWD, The factory AWD TC is a bias split torque unit if you dont have the front DS in it will destroy the Viscous coupling inside. How long depends on how hard you drive it. It is like a clutch style locker but preloaded to one side. Once you wear the clutches enough it will just slip. The BW 4406 and what not are not bias. the viscous coupling is just a precaution.
yes, it was definitely awd. It seems to drive fine to me but the person who drives it most says things like "it feels weird" and the like. Are you saying we are going to have issues coming up?
