Found out something very cool!

[Black91TSiAWD]

So I was at a gas station the other day and this kid walks up to me and say's "I used to own that car, you running it AWD or FWD"? I chuckled a little and said "it's awd man".....he looks at me and says "you know it's got a JDM GVR4 switchable trans in it right?".....basically I was shocked and said no, I never knew. Get it home and crawl underneath the car to check it out, and sure enough there's the 2wd<>4wd sticker and the bolt and bracket right where it should be.....effin A, just thought I'd share this good news. I have no clue if they changed any of the shit they had to to match the gear ratio's, but it drives fine, shifts pretty damn good, and I have the longer 1st and longer overall gears and never noticed it.....pretty badass eh? Just thought I'd share.

Some people have all the luck That's just like my friend who thought he had a 14B in his Galant for the longest time and when he pulled it out to give to his brother to replace the 13G he had in his Galant (long story), suprise suprise, it was a 16G he had all along

when i first bought a GS-T and i was at a stop about to race a more powerful car.. and i knew i was going to lose because i was going to spin.. light goes green and i was ready for the spinnage.. then instead i eat him up right at the light.. i later find out the car was really a GSX..

Here's some pics courtesy of Tom Stangl from the Vfaq. He doesnt say and I cant find any clear information on how the plunger retracts so it goes back into AWD mode, I havent tried it yet because of that fact. If anybody knows It would be much appreciated. I cant wait to try it out just to see what my car feels like as FWD.

the rod should pop out when u remove the bolt and bracket, same on the t-case, and it should pop right back in with a little bit of force, you may have to roll the car a little bit back and fouth to get the two gears to line up before the locking sleeve lines up and pops into place.

so umm, you never looked under the car just for shits and giggles to see if it had a rear diff or not?

 

[Black94DSM]

wow thats awsome!....ive always wanted to know what my car felt like as fwd too. Thats soo cool, must feel cool to know you can switch back and forth.

You get best of both worlds, the AWD launch and the FWD highway pull (but with added weight) but who cares about that really ! haha
