I'm certainly not disputing the need to have it done or underestimating the consequences or wondering about whether other models have them break..

Has anyone got any advice on Febi Biltstein ATF - FEB29934 - seems it is a mineral oil with specific JWS 3309 standards?

Would it be possible/feasible to completely remove the propshaft to turn the car into a 2wd?
Other consequences?
Advantages? |
