What I am trying to impagine is how it is coupled at all with the VC out. I'll have to pay closer attention next time I'm in there to replace the output seal. It is not an intuative device like most things with gears and bearings.
If you have pics of the tail section of the 91 transfer case open, I would like to see them for comparison. I thought the VC was added due to the pecularities of the ABS system and to bias some torque to each axle in the setting of one axle wheel spin. I have never heard that it was added to control clunkiness. Maybe, though! It is an odd and poorly understood device in this application, at least by me.

Ah, I see what you're asking now. Hopefully I didn't get this thread too off track for Mike to respond.
Edit: Good ol' Raven's got it covered.
I agree with everything in your last paragraph. But that is a quote from Slee; I'll see if I can dig up the thread.
Edit: Here it is.

Good thread, with an inflammatory post by yours truly on page 1. 
Cheers,
