i've got a m/t 91 (november of 90 build) awd talon

and a blown to shreds n sat a while a/t 93 (unknown build date) laser rs awd

of course i want to change read ends from the 3 to the four bolt rear ends (save cash and time down the road since driveline parts break ya know)

Well i've spent 2 hours reading posts.. almost everything says i can

but there are a few posts stating that the gears in the rear wont be compatible

but not every post states this i'd just like a lil clairification

Is it possible to directly swap them

And what is the downside to the gears from an auto transfer case on the manual tranny?


Thanks again guys/gals

No its not possible to directly swap them, the MT and AT have different rear end ratio's that match up to the ratio for the front.

I don't think there's really a good/bad for either ratio, just one that goes with the AT and one that goes with the MT.

I would probably pull the 4-Bolt and put it up for trade for one from a MT car
 
*Sigh Sigh*

Whats a good place to get a good 4 bolt .. very cheap or for trade for a auto 4 bolt? junk yards around here are pretty emptied (chuckles) i went isc searching a few weeks ago not a single one in any
 
wait a moment.. all i need is the m/t rear not the shafts and cups ? *trying to cut costs* since i already have those?
