All wheel drive
So if anyone wonders how an all wheel drive is supposed to work it pretty simple it has a viscous clutch that should allow slipping so you dont have binding at low speeds on pavement. No binding at all it should feel just like a car feels on pavement. I know this because i just rebuilt my Mountaineer transfer case and its awesome. When i bought I never had an awd so I thought the binding was normal. since 4X4s bind. The rebuild is pretty simple anyone with a little mechanical skill could do it. From what I know now i think if your just doing a chain and clutch you can probably do it with out removing from car if you can get the cases to split.

I'm just getting ready to check mine out to see if it is what's binding or if I have air in my PS pump. I'm pretty sure its the VCU. Where did you find the rebuild parts? I'll start by just changing the fluid but suspect it will require more work.

I looked at the site you listed and can find no reference to t/cases except for a listing of the chains they have available. Can you clarify how to get more info on the t/case parts from them?
Thanks, Mel

just need to call they dont do online orders to protect you from ordering the wrong parts they like to ask questions and get you the right part
if you have the back end up with a good strap wrench and the car in neutral you should be able to slip the clutch
