> ...you do know that the FWDs diff is inside/part of the transmision don't you? That being the case, it's no surprise to me that no FWD Volvo owner would want to pay the labor to have their trans removed and dissassembled for such a mod as it'd be very costly.

Actually.. The diff can be removed from the transmission housing without having to remove the transmission from the car. Oil needs to be drained an refilled and the drive-axles have to be removed (and thus part of the front suspension). But a competent mechanic should be able to do it in about 4 hours or so.

I had a viscous-diff installed in my S40 T4, which also has the M56 gearbox used in the 850/S/V70's. Worked very well IMHO..

Bye, Arno.
