I've got an '09 Vibe AWD and my mechanic says my Electromagnetic Control Coupling (41303-68013) went bad and "locked up". The symptom is that the AWD light is constantly on and the car appears to be locked in AWD or 4WD at all times leading to poor driveability.
The part is very hard to find and very expensive.
So, I would like to know if there is a simple way to convert the car to FWD. Is it as easy as just removing the rear driveshaft? if not, what else would be involved.
Thanks
