In normal driving, I'd agree that using the fuse wouldn't damage the transfer clutch any more than when the system is operating normally.

Or do you tihnk they're designed for it, so they can take it?
Hi Nick, well they did fit the fuse for purpose of runnng it on a two wheel dyno for emissions testing. So it can take some 100% slipage. But spinning the front wheels is a no no. I mean it is cheaper to replace the transfer clutch plates, than a front diff,

I'm smiling, because the VTD can't have this problem.
