I have a (USA) decoupler that has been fitted for 3 1/2 years without
any problems. My VC is very tight so the difference is most noticable.
I drive on a lot of unsealed roads, living where I do, and when the
road surface is loose, the vehicle handles considerably better with
the decoupler coupled (!!!) as you would expect. However I do not
like having the drive train under unnecessary stress as it would be
on long patches of hard, not loose road with decoupler coupled, or
engaged.
Obviously, on unsealed roads the surface can change a number of times
over a 20 or 30 km section (for example) which is why I am asking the
question: is it ok and unlikely to cause damage to engage or
disengage the decoupler when travelling at (say) 70, 80 or 90 kmh?
My logic says that as long as all wheels are travelling at the sam
rpm's, there should be no problem. Am I right?
Thanks,
Andy
