:lol: :lol: mine are separate, I wouldn't have thought that an empty transfer box in 2wd on an A would have caused issues though.
My transfer box was dry for most of last winter due to the front output bearing collapsed and ruining the out put seal, still ran great in 2wd.
I had to change the box as I wanted 4wd but other than that I would have left it.
