So, if your center diff were fried.....

How would you know?

Like, say it were towed on a non-flat bed truck while you were not present. Could you tell when you got the car back or what?

you wouldn't be able to drive it, or it would like a lot of metal hitting a lot of other metal.

i would think that you'd either a) have no drive to any wheels at all or b) have drive to some wheels with great irregularity -- essentially making the car undriveable.

actually it would still be drivable because after getting my towed from a stupid jack in the crack by sjsu i was able to drive it to stevens creek subaru. they replaced the center and rear diff.

I'm just worried becuase the body shop who is fixing my car towed it to the dealer, and I didn't even remember to tell them to tow it on a bed, so how would they know.

Maybe I got lucky. If I have to wait another week, I'm going to be a very sad sonicuby

umm... if the center diff was fried... wouldn't it still be drivable.. i would think it would seem ok on dry flat surfaces but if you go... say on ice the front will start spinnning while the rear will not do anything.
