Google it westy, there is hours worth of reading. Short story - it's great to eliminate drive-line clunking, especially in pre-95 80's, and also lets you put an auto locker in the front diff. Don't fit it and expect an increase in fuel economy though. You can buy the kit for $500-$550 and fit it in your driveway.

Hi there westy I put the part time kit in my GXl last year eliminated 95% of driveline lash the constant 4x4 had and i dont get the slight torque steer it had,mine's a petrol and I thought the fuel economy was a little better than before by about 1.5lt to 100km so definately worth the $500 odd dollars plus the fitting to have it done hope this helps.
