<VV> Donut Spare Tire

[Western Canada CORSA]

Correct me if I'm wrong.

The clutch pack in a posi is designed to send power to the slower turning
wheel.  With one wheel a different diameter it would be constantly engaged
and trying to deal with the different wheel speeds of the two different
diammeter wheels due to the undersized donut spare.

Regards,
Joel
