transmission

[brian_kokott]

I have a 94 talon with a 90 4g63 in it. I need a transmissionto put in it. My friend has one out of his 95 eclpise. From what i have read some say it will work some say it wont. If it will are there any mods that i have to do to get it to work. Thanks any info will help

Im pretty sure its not going to work.

Im pretty sure its not going to work.

If the transmission off of the 95 is off of a turbo Mitsubishi, it will work.

I'm running a 2g AWD tranny on my 1gB AWD.

It will work, you will need all shift linkages and tranny accessories to go along with the swap though.

As far as FWDs go, the 2g has 3 mounts on the transmission and 1 mount on the motor while a 1g has 1 mount on the transmission and 3 on the motor. In this case, it will not work. 1g AWDs also have 3 mounts on the motor, 1 on the transmission. I'm not completely sure on the 2g AWD, but I don't see why it would be any different from the FWD (3 on the transmission and 1 on the motor). Take a look at the transmission and see if you can spy more than one mounting point. If there is more than one it won't work.

Edit: It should work, again I'm not familiar with 2g AWDs so much but after searching up on 1000 AAQ Major Conversions Page, I found this:
>>Has anybody ever installed a 2G transmission on a 1G?
Search for this topic now!

Yes, Greg Clayton successfully did so, as did Jeff Hanko (95 to 91 AWD) and Brad Degrazia (96 to 92 AWD).

More and more DSMers seem to be seriously considering this swap as worthwhile. For details, read Greg's post, Jeff's post and Brad's post.

This information was added by Randy Gonzalez in August of 2000:

"ONE: If you have a 1990 or even a 1991 with a 22 spline transfer case, then you will need to swap the xfer case as well. This is just so that the xfer case will be able to mate with the 23 spline output shaft of the 2g tranny.

TWO: When you drill holes in the dust shield to mount the starter, this CAN be done with the flywheel/clutch disk/pressure plate intact. On the VERY TOP starter hole in the dust-shield (hole that is higher above the ground), drill downwards towards the other bolt. On the hole in the dust-shield that is lower to the ground, drill upwards towards the higher hole. It is very simple, this can be done with even a file if you wanted to.

THREE: the shifter cables mount to the transmission via shift cable giudes. The information given is kinda foggy. In short, just make the guides look identical to your 1g transmission. Do this by whatever means necessary. I just grabbed a pair of pliers and bent the guides until they looked decent enough to install. It didnt' look all great or anything, BUT it shifts great now. I think that is all that really needs to be mentioned to better the information already given to the archives... And to let DSMers know, the 2g transmission is such a BIG upgrade over my 91 transmission. It used to be SO damn notchy all the time no matter how well you pampered it into gear. Now with the 2g transmission, all the shifts are as smooth as a knife through butter. I haven't track tested it yet but I am sure it will hold to my expectations. I didn't cut off the ballast weight. Mainly because I figured that if Mitsu put it there, then it had to serve some sort of function other than to slow down shifts. If that IS the only reason, then my loss. but I just rather be on the safe side on this one; plus, I never hear about 2g DSMers cutting it off their transmission. So why should I? Hope this helps someone in the future of those that are pondering whether to do the install or not."

The Last Word: Watch out for crankwalk!

it will work but like 1gtsiawd said you will need the linkage and the transfer case and input shaft to go with it. might wanna do a rebuild or somthing before you put it in check this out

It will definately work. I am in the process of putting a 2g tranny in my FWD. Im just a little lazy when its 100 degrees outside otherwise it would already be done.
