AWD binding M/T??

[davew833]

Ok, in fairness this is a Legacy question, but since there are some 5MT experts out there I thought I'd ask. My '95 AWD Legend w/Manual Transmission seems to be binding terribly when I back up and turn sharply out of a parking space. It's getting worse and now seems to do it turning forward as well.

Has anyone replaced the viscous coupling (center diff) on one of these? Does it require dropping the tranny to do so? I've dropped 4EAT automatics and replaced diffs on those, but the 5MT seems to be divided up differently.
