1g tranny to 2g

[Balleriffic1]

if u were to swap the 6 bolt 4g63 from a 1g to a 2g, would the 1g tranny also work?

 

[KRAZYKOREAN]

from what i can remember talking to someone about it...no it will not..

 

[candela]

You can make it work, but theres no need as the 2G tranny will work just fine...

so i can use a 1g tranny in a 2g, i dont want to get flamed but has any one done this before 2g trannys are kind of hard to find now and days.

Certain years of 1g trans are preferable over a 2g trans.

 

[DarkendSoul]

I didnt start this thread, but it has interested me... MNGSX, you said certain years of 1G trannys where prefered over the 2Gs. Do you know which years and why? Also, are we talking about a 5 speed or an automatic? I am needing a 5 speed for my 2G and if I can find a better tranny than the 2G tranny then Im all for it. Thanks-

Galant VR4's have taller first gears than other AWD trans.

The 3&4th gears on the intermediate shaft are stronger on pre 93.5 trans.

 

[MNGSX]

If I were you I'd get the TRE AWD converted to FWD. Strong!

no one even mentioned the difference in spline counts.

22 spline to 23 spline.

I have a 23 spline 1g going in my car. Its fine. You will need to do little things like swap the speedo sensor and things like that.

What about the mounts, 2gs have a mount on the back of the tranny and 1gs dont. Correct me if iam wrong but has andybody have a 1g tranny in a 2g right now and working?

 

[bigpoppa4674]

please someone tell me that i can do a 1g fwd turbo tranny into my 2g gst easily! I can get 1g trannys all day long but 2g are like a herd of flying unicorns.

 

[MNGSX]

Hey cheif be the guinea pig.

Or just look at your 2g trans and then look at a 1g trans.

Better yet take pics of a 1g trans where your 2g trans has mounts bolted to it and post it here.

I think it will go.

If anything you'll need a little fabricationg for the one 2g mount that the 1g's don't have!

 

[98TsiAWD]

I dont think it will work, the 1g bell housing is different, the 1g only uses 1 tranny mount alos.

 

[MNGSX]

1g motors fit 2g bellhousings and vice versa!

So the question can you find a way to get 2g trans mounts on a 1g trans?

 

[AWDpredator]

So YES i can use a 1g awd transmission on my 95 awd tsi talon? and if this is true is there certian years i should look for?
