Question:
Will it hurt the transfer case to not have the resistance from the front drive shaft? Some one said that the Quadratrac needs the front driveshaft resistance, but they sounded pretty unsure.

It can be done, but with Jeep's mechanical systems, not a great idea. I'm guessing you want to save gas? What you'll have to do or have done, is to disengage the front output shaft at the transfer case. This will stop all power going those front wheels like you want, but the Quadratrac transfer case uses a mechanical balancing system that transfers power to the front and rear as needed. It's not electrical and as 4x4's go, Jeep has always had the best systems anywhere because they are fully mechanical and rarely broke down and of course never had electical failure common to modern "high tech" systems. (At least they were until 2005 when Jeep went electrical) Anyhow, your transfer case was designed to distribute power to give traction at the wheel where it is needed. When you take that away from your vehicle, yes, your vehicle doesn't work as hard, however, your system will still be sending power up front and it just won't be received. It's up to you of course, but disengaging the front wheels makes those rear wheels do everything. That in mind, realize if a rear wheel slips, the likelihood that only one of those wheels could have power to it is pretty high and that is very bad because it could make you roll over. Think of it like this, your rear wheel slips, so your Jeep sends power up front to keep you moving forward and straight...only you don't have those wheels powered anymore and th only other non-slipping wheel you've got is your other rear, which is still going full force, making your rear end slide out. Bad day if you're going 70 or 80. Disengaging the front is alright if you snapped an axle up front but the only way to truly escape your AWD system is to get a new transfer case and shafts. If it's gas you want to save, know there is only about a 1-2 MPG difference is 2WD and 4WD Jeeps, mostly due to the extra weight unless you're off-roading. Your transfer case does not require front wheel resistance, however it potentially creates a real safety issue and there would surely be extra wear on your rear gear set; not equipped from the factory to handle the full load of your vehicle's weight.What is the 0-60 time for a 2006 Subaru Legacy 2.5i?

yes you can, it will make it rear wheel drive, but it's not reccommended because it's not MADE to be rwdANYTHING CAN BE DONE JUST REQUIRES MONEY. IN GENERAL NO DON'T DO IT.
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM. THE CURE IS NOT REMOVEING PARTS.

The only way you could still drive it without a driveshaft is if you are able to put it in 2 wheeldrive. If you can't put it in 2 wheeldrive it will make a bunch of noise due to it's not driving anything it's just spinning freely and it will damage the transfer case. If you are able to select between 2 and 4 wheeldrive be sure to leave it in 2 wheeldrive if you remove the driveshaft. Hope this answer was helpful to you. Good LuckMore Questions & Answers ...
